I have an external wastegate that is venting to the atmosphere and i want to connect it to the exhaust. I don't know if I should connect before the o2 sensor of after as I was thinking of the affect it would have on fuel economy and performance.

Also another issue I have is when I depress the clutch while driving the car stalls but only at a decent speed.

One more thing is that my exhaust temp light goes on after a decent drive and a bit of a heavy foot and car goes into limp mode for a minute.

Please help have had this car for 7 years and since power fc and wastegate just not enjoyable anymore

Thanks

wow kinda all over the place

ok replumbing the external gate shouldnt affect fuel economoy or performance (only if your exhaust is ass it might)

i would replumb the entry point after the 02 sensor

pressing in clutch at high speed and stalling is related to either idle RPM not set (ie too low or high) or you didnt do self idle adjustment properly (covered in PFC FAQ)

check the idle RPM settings and see if you can tweak these a little. if no good you will to do DATA INIT (copy your tune first) then do self idle adjust.

exhaust temp light is NOT used in powerfc

the exhaust temp light is RED

do you mean orange check engine light?

the powerfc users this when a sensor has failed or is outside range

when this happens view ETC, SENSOR SW CHECK. the dead sensor will be blackhighlighted

the powerfc, much like the stock ECU has limp mode for basic sensor failure

this is usually the TPS or AFM. either of these can trigger limp mode, ie rev cap at 2500rpm and shit mappings to save the engine from blowing up

I got carried away in my post.

The light was orange so it must of been engine , I saw it for a second and thought it looked different. I will check what you mentioned.

I cleaned the aac and afm and made difference in performance and idle but there must be something else going on too.

Thanks heaps

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
