That's retarded. I seem to remember Jeff stating multiple times to assure everyone that they weren't.

Meh, I couldn't find out if he actually said it or not. I DO remember a thread where someone had gotten the shitty ones from ebay or another distributor. Whatever. That sucks regardless.

Jeremy said it in a thread. It's going to be hard to find since he's such a post whore haha.

Now I gotta figure out why the car has no fuel and spark after I nailed the rev limiter. Uber GHEY

Monochrome · Post by **Monochrome** » Fri Apr 27, 2007 9:17 pm

How do you have the rev limiter configured? Does it cut both fuel and spark?

Melt the O2 sensor wire?

Melt the O2 sensor wire?

My car doesn't even have O2 sensors, and it runs fine

LOL

It happened to Em's car on it's maiden voyage. The O2 sensor wire was just dangling on the DP, it melted, and shorted causing the ECU fuse to blow.

Hans_GZP · Post by **Hans_GZP** » Fri Apr 27, 2007 10:45 pm

It cuts fuel at 7500 and ignition at 7600. You should have seen the fireball that came out of the exhaust haha. Running 10.2 afr's at redline (ouch).

No melted wires... only have a wideband on the rear O2 housing. IPS's front O2 housing didn't allow for me to put in the O2 sensor since the bung was facing straight up to the manifold.

The ECI fuse is good as well as the fuel fuse inside the car. Crank and cam angle sensors are outputting a signal. I tried unplugging the ecu for 10 minutes and trying again and nothing different happened.

When the car cut out the tach just dropped to zero. I'm going to check the PTU, but the ems is seing a tach signal of 150 rpms when the car is cranking to start.

Monochrome · Post by **Monochrome** » Fri Apr 27, 2007 11:20 pm

Is there connectivity between pin 58 at the ECU and the tach pin at the PTU?

Hans_GZP · Post by **Hans_GZP** » Fri Apr 27, 2007 11:47 pm

Well, the PTU was the problem. Damn plug came out when it back fired... that's how bad that back fire was. I told you guys you should have seen it haha.

years ago when people said that, I'd be all like "that's awesome! go for it! It'll be so fast!"

Now-adays, I just think "what an incredible sum of money for a really big on-going headache"

I'm jaded.

97.....

got 450s in. found out its holding 15 psi to redline after cranking the boost up more. now to get the WB in and just see how high i can take this bitch

mods as it sits...
supra pump
dsm blue tops
k&n fipk
DR downpipe/testpipe
blitz BOV
SBC-ID
safc NEO

yes. they are still 9bs. when it was holding 13 psi to redline i pulled intake pipes and checked. this car has never been apart in any way.

Hans_GZP · Post by **Hans_GZP** » Sun Apr 29, 2007 1:47 pm

I had to replace my gas tank last night. Apparently there was some rust build up and it clogged the fuel pump filter which was causing my irradic fuel pressure. I'm so glad that's fixed.

Oh, and the front turbo seems to be fine. I rolled the car off of the dyno to find an O2 bung plug that and fallen out of the front O2 housing. I slapped a better one on there that I can actually get a wrench on and tighten. So far, so good.

Looks like my car has a to do list before OC now...

- Find out where tranny is leaking and why the fluid looks dark gray/silver.

Pretty sure it's an axle seal (as far as the leak go). Gonna swap one in and see what happens. Dad and brother seem the fluid has some water in it which would cause it to look funny.

[quote=""Hans_GZP""]-get IC pipes back from welder *DONE*
-put in new autometer wiring harness for one of my nexus gauges *DONE*
-make trim panel to hold 2 gauges in center vent opening *DONE*
-tune aem ems for driveability *tuned for idle right now*
-button up some of the interior *DONE*
-change engine oil twice *DONE*
-wire in radiator fans *DONE*
-detail car
-drive to ocean city, md with what looks to be the only 98 vr4 WHOOT

added
-try to get the car inspected before I leave *got it covered*
-make sure fuel pressure is ok

So far it made 300 awhp at 8 psi and a really rich tune with no real timing advance and only taking it up to 5000 rpms. Fuel map started to get a little hairy after that point so I shut it down. Looks like the IPS 16G setup might make some power if my front turbo stays together. The turbos they sent me were evo 3 GT turbos... those chinese knocks offs *that someone on 3si says they don't use*.[/quote]

so u havent gotten great service from that 3s vender either? i always thought he was good until some transactions

SeanVr4 · Post by **SeanVr4** » Mon Apr 30, 2007 12:09 am
