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

    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
    • no one recommending speedtek gearsets?   i'm in the same boat as Cosline but rwd, I am holding boost back in third to 600nm at the hubs to save the gear as i make nearly 750nm at the hubs on a mainline
