iv replyed mate

[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

arn\'t those the type that trick the ecu, so it thinks its running standard boost? (i may be) completely wrong

[alxlaw]

its the one my mate is funning on his mr2 - seems to be working very very well ie no spikes (small ones and not as regularly as my current boost controller) anyway

i\'ll have a chipped ecu for sale very soon if u interested?
its a rotecnics special i been told

im in talks with prof at the min i need the chip to inc fcd this is a must to start solving running issues, what features does yours have?

[alxlaw]

what you know about the car grinder? any paperwork? info? atall i got nothin

ok. well.. if u need let me know tho im sure prof can sort u out.
think its for intake, exhaust and higher boost. i have a fcd somewhere in my fc iirc that i dont need lol

The ECU is a chipped UK version using this chip which is a copy of a Jap tuned ECU.

The chip is in a carrier so that it can be changed or even modified if someone has the software.

It does all the things it should do including FCD etc etc. The wires at the ECU are for when the EBC was installed if it still is. I can send you another standalone FCD to see if that cures fuel cut which is plug and play but I have had problems when you have a chipped ECU and standalone FCD with idle etc.

I dont understand why you are having so many problems when this car has been all over the UK to shows and no probs at all.  For your info the Car is totally UK S5 engine and wiring but it does not make any difference even if it were JDM, the ECU\'s are all still interchangeable. I can send you a Jap tuned ECU to see if it helps the idle as I have had ECU\'s in the past that have caused this.

Also run the car on 99 RON whenever possible,this has helped massively with idles in the past on many a rotary I have owned. Most JDM ECU\'s are tuned for 100RON or higher so its crucial to used good quality fuel,even octane booster is better if you can get it cheap enough.

Exactly what did Pip do to the car?

[alxlaw]

the epic bill was for the throttle thing, and last saturday was for the vac pipes but it still wont idle and hits fuel cut without booting it, pip asures me the engine is sweet and like he said was over 7\'s all round still so i dunno wat pips doing really......im kinda at a loss and hospital is taking is tole on me, im not having a go pete i love the car to bits im on so many drugs finding it hard to get my head round it all:3Confused

pip didnt volunteer much info even when i asked and asked loads so i dunno.....

Cant believe it cost so much just for a sticky throttle butterfly, thats really pretty bad. As for the idle then you do need to see what under the manifold,only takes about 10 mins to get off and it might reveal a dodgy vac hose. They are all new under there and all samco so good hoses. However it does not take much for one to blow off and this does sound like whats happened. Pip really should have sorted that as thats what you have paid for. Sorry for all the hassle and extra cost it is having at the moment but where i can help then I will. If its hitting fuel cut then I would blame the ECU. Give me an address and we can at least send another and see if it helps. If it does not then just send it back. The two I have all have been in that car and were brillient. Never had fuel cut once and far better power than standard.

It can only take a pin prick in a vac hose to cause your troubles. If you can hear air then that really is your problem.
The engine is solid and the 7\'s are excellent, it has not changed in its values since i had it, mind you it may have only covered 6K miles in all the time I had it.
