Welcome to the club Ivan. Like everyone says: * this is the best source of info you can get in the world(!), and * use Optimax (even tho ive not put a drop in my tank after 18 months cos i cant afford it! :rolleyes: )

HERE BLOODY HERE :bow:

i cant believe it - ive just been outside and relocated the ptu connection, got back in at it worked fine. so turned it off, praised God, used a wire clip to keep the connection secure and now its gone naff again :( no matter how much i play with the connection its back to 3 or 4 cyls. checked every connection i can see. did notice these two things tho: a) black oil gathering in bottom of zorst, which is blowing light grey smoke b) when i throttle the driver-side bank there is a weird sucking sound from somewhere below the centre of the driver-side plenum, sounds exactly like someone sucking through a straw. passenger side doesnt make this noise. any ideas as im this close to getting rid of the car :( :cry:

thats a good suggestion Andy. i'll read up on how to do that. she's just lost two cylinders yesterday - hope thats not related :( :(

oh thats such a guaranteed lay :bow: UNT! :mac1:

to be completely honest i threw down a low bid just for the sake of it (to quell my addiction to ebay lol ;) ) cos ive been thinking about an auto->manual conversion but now the car's only firing on 4 cyls its pi$$£d me off so much i might not bother :mad: :mad:

TBH i dont know Chris. i suppose you could look around at the high-powered rides on this forum and see whether they have BOVs or not. id imagine they could take a bit more than standard before exploding!!

there you go :)

bwuhahahahaha!!!!

i think the stock recircs can only take a certain amount of pressure (when you start to up the boost) before youre forced to use bovs. they sound good tho ;)

it could be cos theyre unbranded. now who would be bidding on this item :x: :x: :x: :x: :x: :D

JWT ecus are commonly offered/sold with accompanying jets. im no expert but id imagine the ecu by itself would be able to up the boost a little, but the jets would really open her up, so to speak. :D

13% - Granturismerator for me too

DAMN thats satisfying!!!! got to look around the house for some real stuff now :)

thanks for the advice guys. how im achieving such high boost is a mystery to me. thankfully work is such a short distance away that the Z barely gets time to warm up for me to dare put my foot down anyway (plus the fact ive still only got 2 gears:( and am awaiting a conversion)

agreed :D i've got a Blitz controller to go in soon so hopefully that'll sort out my little problem

Christ i hit 19 yesterday!!! is it ok to spike up this high just for half a second before backing right off?

my mate had a 1.9gti but sold it for £500 :( wasnt in the best of nick tho. nippy little buggers

safety boost is when the car cuts boost down to 7psi - check your boost gauge on the dash. various problems can cause the car to go into safety - the experts will tell you what they are. hope the car's a good-un mate.

nice one!!! as you left you should have turned your nose up at the other cars and said out loudly "you won't catch me in THAT tat" :D :cool:

the PTU is a smallish black box located at the front of the engine bay, slightly to the driver side, and at a 45 degree angle. i think theres a lead coming from either side of it.

if i got paid royalties on visits to this link http://zhome.com/ZCMnL/PICS/boostJets/boostJets.html id be a rich man :D :D

glad to hear than Rich! I'll pinch one of me dad's Mackie's for ya :duffer: :D

Cool!!! :cool: i wouldnt have my pc in the kitchen tho :D

i think my apexi rsm measures it - just got to figure out how to read the japanese!!!! :rolleyes:
