Hey guys

installed an e-01 last night...

The settings were taken off a the previous owners 34 gt-t

i drove it all last night and this morning and boost was holding at 0.88 bar to 0.96 max which is 13PSI

I take it for a spin tonight for a cruise...and i do the proper warm up etc....and drop her into 2nd put the foot down...everythings fine till 5000rpm not paying attention at psi reading and POP POP POP car starts jerking and i have to pull over....

Ever since then theirs no control on the boost...by 4000rpm im at 12 psi at 7000rpm (ive only gone their twice...too scared now) its reached around 20PSI

Ive tried turning the boost controller off...no luck...tried altering settings no luck...

I obvoulsy have to take it to a workshop and get it properly tuned....but would have tonights spiking to 23 about 4 or 5 times ****ed my car in anyway?

Ive got FMIC and GCG highflow...

Wat could the possible problems be? Settings from previous owner (34gt-t) not right for my car?

BUt it was working all last night and this morning holding at 0.88 bar...now after 4000rpm it just hits 22 psi :D

As Meggala said, go back over everything that you did and check all the air and electrical connections. If you can't find anything wrong, then put it back exactly the way it was before you installed the e-01.

So its definately not a setting problem?

I even turned the boost controller "OFF" and it still spiked to 20 every single time

Does the spiking to 20 wreck my car in anyway?

Im going outside to check the hoses now...cheers

Checked all the hoses and everything...no holes nothing...

I didnt installl the e-01...so im not sure what im looking at...

I see 2 hoses connected to the greddy valve...one going to the intercooler...one going to a gold round thing...both those hoses are in tact..

IN between those 2 hoses...i found a smaller hose...which aint connected to anything...i tried to follow where the start of it is...but lost it under the fmic piping...

I then followed the electrical wiring...its all in tact aswell :D

Could it be the wrong settings or something? it seemed basic...like i tapped in

Gain 10

Start Psi 2.7

Limiter - Constant

Set Psi - 7.7

id thought it hold at 7.7 instead it goes to 20+ :D:) and their no holes or nothing in the rubber pipes

My guess is the pipework to wastegate actuator has blown/fallen/dropped off. I suggest you take it back to whoever fitted the boost controller and have them fix it. In the interim don't drive it on boost.

If you want to have one more go yourself, then you need to find the wastegate actuator. It's on the turbo, has a rod comming out of one side and a hose out the other. Follow that hose until you find where was blown/dropped/fell off from and reconnect it.

Hope that helps :D

is the wastegate actuator a gold thingy? near this sort of round water holder with a black cap?

i have 2 hoses coming of my boost valve...one leading to fmic and one leading to a goldy thing? is the goldy thing the wastegate actuator?

If so.,..the hose from the boost valve to the gold thingy...is in tact mate

Such a MINOR problem :cheers:

Thanks to Dr Drift - Sam who fixed the problem in an instant...

The valve had spun around...not securely fixed so it moved and bent the hose around...too me it looked the right way but it wasnt...so the hose was bent

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
