Turbo BS Thread

I gotcha; I inferred that I had a lack of ability to tune, user short coming more so than equipment...

 

Take a picture of your Map and settings.

 

settings like how my x and y axis are set and so on and so forth and what have you? also I never retorqued my headers (I had planned to after I drove for 1000 miles or so and I am about 3000 miles or so now) could I possible have a small exhaust leak there that is throwing everything off?

 

Pre sensor, heck yeah it can.

 

If you EVER suspect a leak, fix it right away, without question. You'll chase your tail til you decide to fix it.

 

I had to tighten my headers about 5 times before they actually settled without leaks. I think it’s because of the 304 stainless that CX uses... that stuff warps and flexes a whole lot. Anybody else have crazy exhaust crackling after the engine has been turned off with 304 SS exhaust?

 

Haven't yet. It's part of the plan after the suspension maintenance.

 

Yes. The contraction of the materials.

A well placed and made support bracket will reduce the amount of times that the exhaust vibrates loose.

 

Does anyone remember the correct part# for iridium spark plugs for 3rz in the colder heat range for turbos

 

I used
NGK BKR6EIX-11

Part of my issue might be spark plugs

 

I used a 2 steps colder iridium plug for a while and they absolutely sucked. Decided to try them again and used a 1 step colder

$8 denso ik20 iridium power spark plug, (pack of 1)

denso ik20 and these are the bees knees. No misfires at all and great mileage

 

If this fixes where i think the boost is leaking that may make this the cheapest 50 hp on the market

 

Needs stickers

 

Without stickers they’re worthless

 

Well good thing i kept the receipt

 

These are one step colder like Gioguitar mentioned. Just NGK instead of denso. Either way you should be good

 

I put the NGK’s and I’m still having this issue with off idle hesitation and backfire but it goes away as I’m driving most of the time. Could it be fuel filter ?

 

I don’t know if that is what’s causing that misfire. How old is your fuel filter? You probably don’t want to hear this but it would have been easy AF to change it out when your had your intake manifold off one of the 3 times recently

 

I know The filter is farely new but I heard something about if you use straight e85 it will clean out your tank and possibly clog your filter plus the fuel pressure is low at idle. It used to be about 50psi and steady. With the fpr connected to the tb which is what I have it connected to now. Now when you push the throttle it drops then goes up.
