I have a problem. Just fitted uprated intercoolers reset the ecu so not that.

When under WOT and pressure gets high the whole engine just dies. It doesn't cut out as no ignition lights come on, just looses all power until the throttle is slightly lifted off.

At moment the evc is running at 0.95bar.

Was wandering if it is the injectors maxxing out, but the boost pressure isn't really that high, and it doesn't feel like it is running out of fuel more an electrical problem. can the ecu (SE) be cutting something out?

Please help as it tends to be a bit dangerous overtaking. It cut out 3 times whilst overtaking one car with a lorry coming opposite way. Felt like a twat that couldn't drive.

Do you have an induction kit?

 

Some have problems with the airflow inside the filter at high speeds, causing a tube of air to go round the Mass Airflow Sensor, so no or little air is being detected by the sensor in the middle of the air pipe. If this happens it causes the car to stall at high speed.

 

APEX'i Filters, if you notice, have a point that sticks into the filter, designed to disturb the air so it doesnt make a vortex round the filter. What you can do if you have an induction, is to put a bit ball of duct-tape inside the filter. This will disturb the air and so it wont make a tunnel round the air sensor.

 

 

Have I confused you enough

Also Do you have a boost controller? if so is it not hitting the limmiter or warning boost and cutting right back?

yes i have a blitz sus air filter and hks evc4 boost controller.

how big does this ball have to be in the air filter, does it ust sit there loose?

Not big, a little bigger than a screwed up piece of A4 paper. You have to tape it to the top of the filter. Just try it first see if helps.

It is something I read on TT.net

Mine did that, It was a boost leak!

If it was OK before you fitted the i/c's then I think you should be looking in that direction. Is there a boost leak ?
