probably tuned on "no traction"

How does it run on the lower boost settings when it's tuned for 20psi? Is it just too rich, or do you not notice any issues? I figure you don't drive around on 20psi most of the time, so I'm just curious as to the results.

 

I wonder if the GT-Four is running overly rich or something, as my fuel economy is disproportionate to the performance. If I had like 400hp at the engine it would be fair enough, but for a very mildly modified engine, it just seems to guzzle the fuel. In one of the Motor magazines I have from when the ST205 was released in Australia, they got 10.9L/100km. The best I've seen is about 15.4L/100km, and that was using the throttle lightly. I'm tempted to remove one of the air lines so that I get no boost and drive through a full tank of fuel to see how the economy is.

Hey Andrew, sold the 4agze yet? might be interested in putting it in the fx if it's a running engine.

yeah i still got it, its to suit rwd and i have no idear if it runs as i got it as a long motor comprssion feels good

sure its tuned for 20psi but normally driving it I hardly boost it anyways.

 

sure it runs rich, but only when it gets onto boost etc.

 

putting around the map on the ecu is fine whether its running 0psi or 20psi

adam maybe u hav a bad tune or ur engine is flogged and uses lots of fuel

 

anyone hav a paypal account?

probs have a busted sensor somewhere is my first bet i reccon

oxygen sensor, then maby the map>>?

It's a stock ECU, so it shouldn't be a bad tune.

 

And yes, I have a PayPal account.

That's quite possible. Since Saturday it's also started hunting for idle fairly regularly, but not all the time. The idle also seems high when it does settle, at around 1,400rpm. When it hunts, it goes between 1,400rpm and 2,000rpm, which is obviously really high. More money down the toilet - have to take it to Dave or something.

yep 99% sure u hav a bung sensor

 

afm :jamie:

 

don't supose u wana use it to buy me sum stuffs :)

Shit. Car problems are the last thing I need at the moment.

 

If you give me the money, I can use PayPal or my credit card to pay for it, yeah.

yea me 2 lol

 

okay are u able to pm me your paypal address or whateva it is so old mate can send you a invoice and ill come drop the money round????

yeah adam could also be the

throttle position sensor

Problem solved. Turns out the line from the cam cover to the pressure sensor had blown off. All fixed and idling like a dream at 900rpm again.

adam u got any 15" skid tyres? I'm all out :hmm:

I just got rid of some 195/60 R15's, but still have six 195/50 R15's, four REALLY good ones (hardly worn) and two with heaps of tread left, but more noticably worn. Probably selling them today. If the guy doesn't come around, I'll let you know.
