.......0.5 bar or 6psi

i think somthing is definatly wrong...actuator/bad set up/

does some times smell fuelly, but it doesnt to badly on fuel

i think cosworth were set at 10psi? does this mean im running 180bhp

 

data lists 2wd @0.7bar and 4wd@0.8/0.9bar.

thanks tabetha

wonder why its doing .4/.5 bar

stillsaying that its still is pretty quick. mustv been a capable when new

 

0,1 bar is roughly 0,15 psi

so if you re running 6 psi its just 0,4 bar

 

1 bar = 14.5038 psi

Have you checked the amal valve, although this would not make it smell, need more information, whats the spec of the car? Also yours would be 224HP as standard.

My guess is the actuator, maybe it got week over the years...

Have you tried to shorten the rod?

 

Hello mate glad you got it sorted

Tony

 

the cars engine is standard, i might take the ECU out and see if the chip has been changed, its goes well for 0.5 bar though squats on boost in 1st/2nd gear

thanks for your advice tony

 

So what was it?

Martin

 

well its a stage one PTS chip





SAP?!

 

Might mean Saph?

 

Nice to meet you at last mate

Tony

 

You too Tony, when you pulled in to the meet your cars presence was immence - i was glad i was leaning on my car...

Right so my car is stage one but the boost gauge is showing 6psi

will keep this thread posted

 

Nice one mate

Tony

 

Yes should be about 15PSI, have you checked the amal valve I described earlier and also check actuator as well.

Martin

 

i havent done so yet martin

the bloody thinkg doesnt want to start now, got a feeling its somthing to do with me taking ECU out

it was cranking when i was trying to start it this morning but then it just wont do now not clicking or anything, even with me getting it jump started

 

I think the lack of boost now is because the engine is not starting!!
tabetha

 

lol tabetha

well somthings happened

dont know if the alarm has tripped a shutdown mode or if i have stuffed the ecu when taking it out to see the chip

fuel pump does not prime but power is going to the ign amp, coil etc

alarm is a cobra 7925

 

You did note the orientation of the chip when you removed it and put it back the same way ?
tabetha

 

i didnt remove the chip just removed the ecu cover

such a ball ache sometimes, will have to sit and investigate it

 

Making sure the ecu plug is pushed fully home would be my first port of call!

As for the boost, do you still have a standard plastic dumpvalve? There was one on my car when i got it, it was leaking like a fucked fridge and loosing me loads of boost Check that and check all the hose are on and you have no airleaks. After that look at adjusting the actuator.

To be honest i'd probably change that chip to one from a know good company and set the car up the way they advise, that would be the safest route!

 

yep the plug is pushed in firmly! still nothing maybe its the alarm...just checked as much as i could but nowt
