Hi ppl,

I have a 33 GTST series 1.

Full exhaust, split dump then 3.5" from there back.

Splitfires

Apexi pod

FMIC

A autobahn88 silicone intake from pod to turbo.

Also running no BOV

plugs have done 9 thousand kays

got home from work, car was warm, and was running great.

Just fitted My PFC, I hit the ignition, set the boost kit to off ( to the little japo symbol that looks like a plus sign) started it, ran like shit, after 10 mins I hit the AC, then after 20 mins I turned on the demister, after 30 mins I let it run for a further 2 mins, shut car off, started it again, hit the throttle a tad, say to 2000 RPM and sounds like its running on 4 cylinders.

any ideas or input will be greatly appreciated

cheers

jsut checking - to be sure, to be sure

put the stock ECU back in - confirm it runs Ok and isnt mssing/ running on 4 cyclders

then if its OK and stable etc open up the FC look for burnt tracks or damaged components

is the FC new or used ? did you do factory DATA INIT before starting the car ?

i bought it brand new from access autoworks.

what do you mean factory data INIT? all i did was turn the boost control kit off and then turned the key and did the 30 minute idle set with , 10 mins of idle, another 10 with A/C on then the last 10 with demister on?

Had similar problem with mine, pluged in the power Fc and ran 4 cyc, put the factory ecu back in, ran on 6.

Put power Fc back in and realised the factory plug on the wiring loom gets a curve in it if the bolt is over tightened.

Either loosen the bolt or put cable ties around the plug and power Fc to pull the ends in tight. Ran perfect after that.

I guess I might have to do the 30 minute idle set again??

      Ha ha ha, this stuff they had was installing Toshiba PLCs that were made some time in the 1990s, and they were replacing GEM80 PLCs. To let those two talk (staged upgrade along a ~1.2km long building that was split into 4 sections), was a bunch of WinXP machines running Java gateways... There was no way to put something like ProfiSafe in... Most of the HMI machines were WinXP, with Java program, with a custom button board emulating a keyboard... About the only buttons in the operator stations that went direct to the PLCs was the eStop. There was some interesting design stuff in that place...

      Check for fuel flow out of the outlet end of the rail. Check for spark. Try to start with aerostart (or pressure can brake cleaner or similar solvent in a car) prayed in through TB. If you have fuel and you have spark and it will fire on substitute fuel, then seriously suspect that E85 sitting for ages in your fuel system has destroyed something and put it in your injectors.

      Luckily for safety applications, with dedicated links not being used for any other traffic, you simply run ProfiSafe (or an equivalent safety comms protocol from other vendors) over the top of ProfiNet (if that's what you're using, or Ethernet IP if you're stuck in the world of American PLCs and not verking vis ze Chermans) and the redundancy is more about being able to know that you need to cause a system diagnostic lockout because you've lost one of your comms channels, rather than not knowing that you've lost your only comms channel. Granted, heartbeats and all that are possible and useable and all that, but some safety applications are are so time critical that you might not be able to afford a few milliseconds until the next check.
