Yeah your right, but as is said, its the higher volume intercoolers and piping that have the stalling issue, because the amount of metered air that is vented is enough to flood the engine (when it tries to supply the fuel to support it), i suppose higher boost levels on smaller coolers would have the same issue.

SAFC's etc can also fix it, as they have a set amount of closed throttle airflow to feed the ecu (which you set).

Just a quick update:

She's alive!!!

She keeps stalling though, which I am very certain is because of running an untuned PFC and having a few air leaks (ie BOV since I don't have the plumb back piping yet) but nevertheless, she runs and blows no smoke :/

Got the tuned booked in for next Thursday. Can't wait!

Yeah the bov would be the cause, they have a tiny hole in them which is enouugh to cause stalling and rough idle, but you issue would be because when the throttle is closed (and the bov is connected to the plenum) vacuum sucks the bov open.

If you'r running low boost, i would just block the bov and let it 'hektic' dose until you get it sorted. As long as you dont have any air leaks between the turbo and AFM, as you dont want it to lean out.

She's all running beautifully now :)

220rwhp @ 10psi which isn't too bad for stock turbo and injectors. Might be able to extract a bit more with high-flow cat and much better muffler.

The only problem I have now is with the idling. For some reason, my car is stalling (or goes to 100RPM before going back to 700RPM) everytime I press in the clutch. Thinking that the AAC valve is the cuplit, I cleaned that up and fixed the issue for a day or so. But now, the problem is reoccuring again. Now, I don't have a problem with cleaning the AAC valve again to fix it until it goes away, but is this a case of dusty pipings causing the AAC valve to get really dirty quickly, or does it sound like I have a vacuum leak somewhere which is causing dirt to come in?

Also, when the AAC starts to play up, my car is doing something really funny. If I drive her cold-ish (water temp gauge just start moving) and I drive casually, she runs really low idle (600RPM). But once she warms up and I start driving it more harder, the idling rev goes up (900RPM).

What the hell is causing this?

...could my stock BOV be leaking?

Ok. This is fking bullshit, but I just found my rear, left window smashed in after leaving it parked outside of my friend's house. Sigh -_-"

If that wasn't bad enough, my dyno sheet was placed in the backseat and what do you know, it was raining. So now my dyno sheet is also ruined.

Oh the joys of owning a nice car... Everyone just seems to get a chuckle from targeting it. Wankers...

So I'm sorry mate, but I won't be able to post up the dyno result.

:P

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
