cool,

1. boost issues can be a pain to sort, i ve studied the drawings and diagrams and read loads am im still not 100% sure i know how it all works..lol

it will be something simple but as there some much stuff associated with the control can be confusing...have you got a boost gauge, first thing you need and then see what psi your generating and report back?

2. Fuel gauge...seem like the sender float is hanging up? did you remove the pump carrier and sender? worth pulling out and moving manually but be gentle as tight fit.

ill be over Shell sometime this week for fuel lol! x4 seesion at Combe sat need some 99...

Thanks for the help , also atm the car is running an auto ecu as my ecu kept the fan running .


Ive got a boost gauge


It gets to 12 o clock on the gauge then u hear it dump then a wurring/rumbly sound and all boost will stop and il get a little beeping noise.

Tim said take off the boost controller which is fitted as that might be playing up also ?

But il check all the hoses ect too.

I didnt take the fuel pump out of the tank before i just cleaned up the wiring and jiggled it about really. But i will remove it later hopefully and give it another go .

Thanks for your help.

Hiya mate...stock boost pattern is 10 8 10...if your at 1bar thats 13.5 psi...poss get fuel cut mate as poss old ecu had a chip or summit from japan...
Ideally if you remove the boost controller then the ecu would control boost and all should be fine...
* messy about can cause engine bye bye though mate*
Its difficult to know what to suggest mate.
Im out n my garage over westbury all day if you wanted to bring it over and we can have a look together?

found it!....ref our conversation....tad complicated....
like i said if non sequential then gonna struggle to control boost on std ecu...and again as a Knight sport original ecu fitted probably tweaked for exhaust mods....
Get and Apexi and get it mapped problem solved.

Just had a thought....if you do get it to me and it is non sequential i can plumb the actuator for spring pressure only so 7psi this will stop the fuel cut and risk of engine bye bye....i ran my first Fd on this for over a year non sequential.. still plenty fast!

Thanks for all ur help buddy really appreciate it, hopefully il be able to pop over to u soon and sort it out.

Cars going back to rx motors tomorrow as the cutting out is doing my head in and also fix the boost issues.

Fingers crossed it wont need much .

When its sorted boosted id still be interested in meeting up for some info how things work ect, thanks for all ur help.

No worries mate happy to share knowledge. People go crazy for single turbo conversions but mucho money and a healthy car running twins is pretty darn fast esp on the road with low kerb weight...
You coming to Combe?

Ah i might pop over if i do hopefully il see you guys there, just hoping my car dont cost too much more to fix as i just wanna drive it haha

If you want to go out as a passenger on the day, probably in an RX-8, but there are other rotary options available , then bring a helmet (or hire one at the circuit). Pay £10 on the day for a passenger wristband and find me (most people know me and can point me out  ) and I'll arrange up to 4 rides if you want them. First track session is 11.30am.
