Ive Got Pinning

[33drifta]

hey guys ill keep this as short as i can. i just blow up my stock turb so i upgraded to a highflow (only because i came across a cheep one). i figured i might as well get a fmic and high flow cat and dump at the same time. so my mods are...

highflow turbo

hf cat

3.5 inch exhaused (maybe 3 inch)

manual boost control

manual safc

splitfire coil pack

stock ecu (which i no is not good)

i got it tuned and it only got 166rwkws. and its pinning after 5800rpms. i was wondering wtf is going on? if i get a pfc will that fix it or is it something else? any advice would be muchly apriciated, thanx.

only 11 at the moment, tuner doesnt want to go any more then that

If the tune is alright it could be your fuel pump. I think pinging's caused by your car running too lean.. backfiring is usually too rich. Although I know nothing about the quality of the manual SAFC's, I wouldn't imagine they'd be able to do too good of a job.

EDIT - what sort of fuel you running? 98 ron? BP ultimate etc? If running dodgy fuel your car will ping like crazy.

im running shell v-power, the tuner also asked me about fuel. i have heard the manual safc's are good but im not to sure about that. thanx man

the thing is, before all the mods i was running 12psi getting 165rwkws, that was with smic, man boost cont and man safc. and stock turbo. and it was running like a dream.

shit thats not what i want to here!!

yeah mate... 166rwkw seems low

=( i made 201rwkw with just a cat back and 10PSI 'manual boost controller'. fmic.

i was running to lean... think it was coil pack that killed mine hey... wasnt firing or not enuff fuel

i'd say check ur plugs... my number #6 was white and thats the chamber i got probs wif now..

since i boosted mine i've had the problem...

=( getting engine checked to see wats got damaged now

It is amazing, some of the things I read on here!

FYI, and its been said on here a million times....

PINGING or DETONATION = LEAN MIXTURES! (In other words) NOT ENOUGH FUEL is being burnt with the amount of air in the right ratio.

If you upgrade all the air inducting and expelling items so the motor is moving more air = YOU NEED MORE FUEL!!

POWER= AIR+FUEL BURNT! UPGRADE YOUR FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM AS WELL!!

THEN Dyno tune to get the Air/Fuel Ratio RIGHT!
