It was the plug i didnt do up properly, when i checked it to fit an afr, the plug came apart, once i plugged it back in in a more manly fashion it worked no problems. Well Ive just replaced the plugs for the 4th time this month and fitted the second gasket back on the lambda (also in a more manly f...

Check your lambda mate, i had almost exactly the same problem, turned out i was limp wristed when i plugged it back in. solved all hesitation and missfiring. by limp wristed do you mean it wasn't tightened up enough? funny you mentioned the lambda as i took mine out a while back to clean it up and ...

Yesturday I took apart the whole inlet (from the AFM to the throttle body) making sure everything was done up tight when I put it back together. On the test drive there was a big improvement, however it still misses a bit under full boost and WOT. Im going to turn it back down again for the time bei...

i would say bov is source of your air leak :mrgreen: using afm and atmospheric bov dont mix but have you check the gap of the new spark? some ime new plug gap can be out, and ignition lead? change back to your old set and see? (sometime they do strainge thing) I think the gap of the new plugs (whic...

Cheers for that, I'll go have a look today at some point and make sure everything is tight.

My 1990 mk2 Rev 1 turbo has developed a misfire on full boost and WOT. It was running 0.8 bar through the Gizzmo IBC. I turned the boost down to 0.6 and the mis has gone away. Ive recently replaced all the ignition components apart from the coil. The plugs suggest perfect running conditions but coul...

Ive got the same problem but misses only on full boost, Im thinking nakered plugs. Changed the dizzy, rotor arm, plugs and leads a while ago but May have ordered N/A plugs

On the Gizzmo unit there is a setting before you set the gain and duty....... Open and Closed boost cycle. When the boost cycle is set to closed, the Gizzmo ebc constantly makes small adjustments to the wastegate to make sure you don't get spikes. Just a thought.

Did you have a problem lining up the top pipes from the throttle body to the outlet of the intercooler? I fitted the turbo xs one yesturday and found that the pipes did not line up at all and now i have a huge boost leak which im going to sort out today by removing it and fitting it again. Regards J...

I Can't remember the gain or duty cycle figures right now but I'll let you know later on.

Yeh it has air con so it must be that belt. I dont think im going to bother replacing it just yet. Cheers for letting me know

I heard a loud bang while driving the other day and looking in my rear view mirror I saw what looked to be an aux belt rolling a long the road behind me! After looking undernieth the car I saw that on the crank shaft pully, the belt furthest away from the engine is missing. Does anyone know which be...

my EBC has a real time boost read out so I already have the gauge

I have an FCD however its not on the car as I am unsure how to fit it. Its the Kelsport one with three wires: Red, Black and Green.

Im thinking about buying an after market intercooler as my next mod form my Rev 1 turbo. Due to being on a budget the ebay one will have to do. Does any one know what gains I should expect with this intercooler over the standard one? current mods are: Apexi induction kit Decat with standard exhaust ...

It could be knock I suppose. I dont have an FCD fitted at present but Im thinking about getting one.
I would have replied sooner but I havn't been getting any notification emails!

hmmm the boost value on the boost controller doesn't seem to drop off. Would the CT20b be a direct replacement for the CT26 or would I have to change the manifold?

I recently bought a Rev 1 MR2 Turbo (import) its Just had a service which inclded....... Engine Flush and oil change Plugs Leads Dizzy cap + Rotor Arm Its got a Gizzmo boost controller set to 0.8bar and an Apexi Induction kit. It has a standard exhaust with a hollowed out cat (I presume its decat as...
