hey guys, today i went to winton and put my car on the track, on the 4th run when i hit 7k rpm i noticed my engine light flicker and id lose all power no boost at all. and then i tought id put it on low boost and hit 7k rpm and see what happens, i hit 8k rpm with no problems, droped the clutch in low boost no problem, droped it in high boost, engine light and lose of boost at 7k rpm. i currently have a high flowed turbo, apexi power fc tuned by trent at status, but what i do have is stock injectors, im leaning towards that as the problem i have a feeling even thou it was tuned so the injectors can handle that psi just, that they are now failing am i correct? and also i had high boost tuned at 15psi and low at 11psi i think and now on high boost im only hitting 14psi.

any help would be much apprieciated

covered in the PFC FAQ in my sig

there are 4 things that will flash the engine check light

the FAQ will tell you

"Things such as airflow meter max value, injector max duty, excessive knock will cause the engine warning to flash."

thanks for that paul, so i take it my stock injectors cant handle the boost :P

insted of my creating another thread. id like to know what injectors can hold 20psi and are direct feed please. thanks

and a std sensor failing or going out of range

so before you start fixing things, you need to first isolate what it was

i would suggest given you have stock injectors, its likely to be that

but you should check

id recommend

MONITOR

4 CHANNEL

AIRFLOW

KNOCK

INJ DUTY

BOOST

PRESS NEXT

make sure its on digital read out (that is each item is a number)

press RIGHT to clear their top score

flog the car to redline

and see if the light comes on

check the max values for each

each have their own trigger value to make the engine check light come on

the FAQ tells you how to check it and change it

and the FAQ also includes online emulator if you are unsure what keys to press on the hand controller

    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
