Guys,

Last night i accidentally played around with my turbo timer settings

I think i went into the A/F and 02 settings. This happen in the morning

Later that night i was driving home and noticed after 3000 rpm the engine wouldn’t respond and boost wouldn’t kick, after half a second later it responds and the car jumps also i get a pop noise from my exhaust....

im not a expert but i think i stuffed it up by playing around with the settings or

because of the mods ive been doing i need a new flue pump or my air filter is clogged

Does anyone here know how to return a apexi turbo timer to default settings?

And up to how much kws does a stock fuel pump support? (r33 gts-t s11)

Any feed back would be greatly appreciated

Thanks babylon

It probably isn't the turbo timer (Apexi Auto Timer?) The (predicted) A/F and 02 values are just metered and you can't change anything related to the actual settings of the car.

But looks like your ECU 'limp home' mode has been activated.. it sets rev limit at around 2500rpm and runs rich to protect the engine against damage. Check your ECU diagnostics and clean your AFM.

Stock GTST pump is good for around 200kw at the wheels. I didn't have any issues at that power with my standard fuel pump, but I decided to upgrade it to a Bosch 044 anyway, just to err on the safe side of caution.

Thanks for the reply

sorry to be a pest but how the hell do i check my "ECU diagnostics"?

First step is to find the ECU and start your car. Look at the side of the ECU and see if there is a LED that is red. That will indicate the car is in limp mode.

If so then do the diagnostics.. which you should be able to search for!

Found my ECU its under the passengers seat , started my car looked under and didn’t see any red LED, only saw cables.

I changed my air filter back to the stock one unplugged my AFM plug then plugged it back in Rebooted my ECU by taking the negative off my battery drained the juice out of the car ...put it back on then went to drive the car same thing after 2500rpm the car jumps and does rev higher!

Today im going to get a new Fuel Filter and some electrical Contact Cleaner.. (hopefully works)

Im having a difficulty looking for forums or tutorials on ECU diagnostics

    • I'm thinking that this is such a small part of the problem that you could easily forego the vac pump and just achieve 90% of what you need, which is keeping the gate open when off boost. It's not as if there are not already techniques to keep a gate fully closed under boost. After all, you have boost. Just use a wastegate actuator that will allow you to apply the boost on the appropriate side, just like every external gate out there.
    • Heres another fitment photo. redrilled the pattern to 5x112, and threw my audi´s rims on. had to touch the upper control arms with grinder, because the "sharp corner" was sticking about 2-3mm on the tire path. i have the "fender lip" mostly cut off, otherwise these (too) would contact with it. 20x9.5 ET25 rear    265/30 20x8.5 ET20 front    255/30 they are temporary, and look too big for the chassis. searching for 19s to it.
    • From experience, it will come back to bite you haha.
    • Background: my BMW 225i hatchback (rebodied MINI/X1) came with 3x RE003 and 1x Goodyear Asymmetric something. The RE003 roared and slid around, the Goodyear side was quiet and grippy. Definitely my car was thrashed before it got sent to dealers. My brother also got RE003 all round on his old VA WRX STI, I wasn't impressed with them, car was loud so can't comment on noise. Anyway, Hankook stopped making/updating V12 Evo2. So bought S1 Evo3 runflats. Great daily duties tyre and not that harsh ride. Tyre reviews site/youtube rated them as best stopping in the rain and I believe them. Next set, Goodyear Asymmetric 5 non-RFT. It beat PS4 in tests and is like $100 cheaper, so put them on. Great tyre, more grip then S1 Evo3 but a tad noisier as expected, still rocking them. Next set I am looking to go runflats, probably the new Hankook Evo. Although the new Pirelli PZ5 did well in tyrereviews test. Or go Goodyear Asymmetric 6 which was top tyre last year. The V12 Evo2 on my gen5 Liberty GT wagon did great in cold condition (drove to snowy mountains for a day so my husky can feel his ancestor's roots). Super impressive performance for $120 each lol. Never skimp on tyres, brakes, suspension. There's old pics of my R31's crappy random brake pads bending in the caliper at Oran Park track day somewhere around here. Anyway, my 2 cents.
