Well what a stupid car i have.

Had the waterpump and rest of the cambelt finished today along with an interior valet, again. lol. 57 quid. Love it.

So i took it out to log the ****er.

175g/s on about 5200rpm, so it would have hit more i reckon,
hitting 3's now and again on the CF's but nothing to worry about
WG duty goes down after nailing it shut all the way up the rev range, to the point where i was seeing about 56% at 5.5k. Like its hardly trying.
Ambient was about 14 degrees so still warm, intakes were about 30 and below consistant.

Goes like ****, but i'm not sure i'm gonna run it sunday.

Daz, with the top mounts, there isn't alot of room to remove the old stuff and refit.
I can give you a hand if you needs, and i've got the tools, so no need to buy any tools.

 

[PhilW]

Oh yeah, had a dabble with an e46 M3 as well, dude beat me, not by a great deal, but give me the thumbs up tho.

 

[Forbez]

Nice, work Phil, those mofo's ain't slow.

 

[Daz_gibbo]

Had myself some more fun this evening when I saw a spanking 07 plate RB320 edition Impreza. Not impressed! He was though!

 

[PhilW]

Toasted him?


Boys, anyone know what fuses are supposed to be what amp? I think i might have replaced a blown fuse on my emmisions/boost/evap etc.. with a wrong one.

 

[rallyslag3]

well I think its about time i said hello on the welsh side of things! so hello!
I know Phill W. and thats about it I think.
I am Dicky V.I.P from sw-cc. and I live in Neath.
I am driving an Rreg 45 bhp corsa at the mo and it doing my ****ing head in!
never mind there is an 04 reg Ibiza FR 1.8T sitting in the paint shop.
should be out in about 2 weeks.

 

[Daz_gibbo]

Toast him - No. But stayed with him.
And hello dicky!

 

[Forbez]

Hi Dicky.

Phil, i'll dig out my post of all the fuses for you mate, to see if that helps.

 

[Forbez]

And here it is:

This would be quite useful for those with ibiza's and other car's which use the same fuse positions as the ibiza! (as i very rarely have my owners manual in work)

i stayed with a civic sport R lol

i was tootling along doing 50 in a 50 zone, minding my own business when he over took me so down into 2nd, matched him but he was already in front. couldnt floor 3rd without going up his arse, so jammed it into 5th and pushed him to silly speeds until i realised i didn't want to go to prison and slowed back down to 50.

he took a fecking ice age to get over a tonne mind

hi rallyslag3

 

[Daz_gibbo]

Civic sport lol. Type R wannabe terrible car

 

[PhilW]

I have no idea wtf is goin on with my car and why its running lean all of a sudden.

If the maf was reading low i'd replace it or if i had a boost leak, but i have no idea.

Anyone know if the N112 would have anything to do with it running lean?

 

[acidstrato]

the n112 is all about managing boost on start up aint it so not sure if it would. ecu would adapt fuelling to match airflow so i don't see why it would.

injector issues maybe? or lambda sensors

 

[PhilW]

I thought lambdas dont measure a/f as theyre narrowband and as the maf is readin well it should be ok.

My feelings are toward the fuelling side now.

Stupid car.

 

[acidstrato]

yeah but if they were on their way out its likely they would cause issues, would expect a code to be thrown up though

 

[Daz_gibbo]

Whats thew calc made up from again? inj period and air flow wasnt it? Must be fueling side if so I would of thought

 

[Daz_gibbo]

TBH Phil I dont think theres anything wrong with your fueling. 12.5 to 14 A/F is where most power is achieved apparently. I see the same figures are you there or there abouts.

 

[StanTheMan]

afr's of 13+ on a stressed turbo car is just asking for trouble. Peak power is made 12-12.5 on a petrol turbo. Most are mapped to run mid 11's for safety.

Its pointless guessing whats wrong until you sort the ****ing thing out!

My wb is showing mid-high 11's on boost, occasionally dipping into the low 12's. The rosstech calc seems to be roughly +0.5afr above my wb

 

[PhilW]

As jonzy said, 13+ is asking for trouble, my problem is i've seen perfect A/F of mid to low 12's on WOT since fitting the k03s, only things that have changed are... plugs, melted N112 and blown fuse resulting in limp mode and me soldering in a resistor.

So could it be the spark plugs?


(yes i know its ****ed, but its been ****ed before and the a/f was fine)
