reeeeally bad idle that dies after a few seconds...

[alxlaw]

thanks pete means alot, send me a txt n ill send you my address via txt its 07800524039,

ill have to take the inlet off for a good gander, pip starting to worry me as i have nothing to show for the cash i gave him.....really, i wouldn\'t minded if he\'d explained a little better, like you said £700 for a sticky throttle is a little ridiculous - i presumed it was gonna be epic when i got it back - bearing in mind it runs like a bag of poo now was a little disappointed and im far to polite to give him .... for it in fear of being made to look stupid.....lol!!!  (can you tell the morphine\'s working) lol!

on Saturday pip said i needed a new intake pipe as mines got huge holes in it which he said will effect the idle anyone know where i can get some silicone intake pipe? and the air leak near the idle control valve i can hear

[pdtaylor18]

Intake pipe for what the turbo? I have several but confused as to what Pip really has done. If he knows something is wrong then surely he should have at least did a temp fix or fixed it permanently. You need to send a pic mate as baffled as to why now you have huge holes in it?? I have plenty of intake pipes and silacone to sort you out. The only holes in the turbo intake are obviously one either end,two smaller ones with NRV\'s on the end for vented oil and something else and one for the dump valve. I think you need to send some pics and I would also start concidering ranting at PIP as you have paid a lot of money for something that no doubt took a little of WD40 to put right. He has a good reputation but something seems shoddy here.

The air leak near idle control valve can fixed with silacone sealant or try and chase to see if a hose has come off. I will try and send a pic of one. Only four bolts holding it on but I doubt you will want to do any of that ion your condition.

well as a start i need to find some inlet pipe that goes from the turbo to the maf...... anyone got any dimensions or pics of the standard one? i fancie making it out of 2 bits of silicon and ally pipe

[pdtaylor18]

I can make something up for you. I have a complete kit you can have. I\'ll send something along in the post.

[alxlaw]

legend pete! id prefer to make one up from silicon n hard pipes as the old ones are poo according to pip

[pdtaylor18]

And thats what you will get. In the post this morning.

[pdtaylor18]

In the post, you have a jap tuned ECU which does support FCD and alters the fuelling etc etc for exhaust and intake etc etc. It does raise the boost. Dam good map on that one so if it does not cure it then I would want it back. If it does then can you send the original one back as I will change the chip in that.  I have sent you an array of hoses,joiners and pipes to mate from the turbo and to the filter. Dont forget that you may have to run a catch tank to one of the two little hoses that have the nrv on the end in your original hose,for now just leave that hanging as hardly anything comes out. The other I cant remember what that does but someone will help you on that one until i get the chance to refresh my memory.

[pdtaylor18]

Its all very well changing all the items but you still have to find the air leak, a good ECU might mask it for a while but the problem will never go away until you find it.

In comes pete to save the day again.
 
Good stuff!

[alxlaw]

i shall hit the manifold when my back is gettin better or ill get a competent friend on the case, thanks pete, i know you didnt have to do any of this - your a top bloke - cheers

[alxlaw]

need a verdict on this asap - is this right? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-POWERTEK-BOOST-CONTROLLER-MAZDA-323-RX7-RX8-TURBO_W0QQitemZ140334860052QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item20ac9c0714&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14#ht_895wt_1165

anyone tell me if this is right? will it fit mine? i know fds are twin so its a bit vauge...... or does it matter?

[pdtaylor18]

Pretty much any manual boost controller will work,same as per electronic its just how you plumb them in that matters either electrically or vac/boost wise.

[alxlaw]

well the current one only has one pipe going to it?, still spikes (last time i drove it) and iv been assured this one wont spike half as much) if it stops the spiking it might help....
