just installed fff turbo kit....

Re: just installed fff turbo kit....

With my BEGi regulator I didn't even run one...a tiny boost/vacuum leak like that didn't seem to show up. I didn't have a check-valve anywhere.

I'm not running a FMU anymore though...I'm using my megasquirt and just tuned it for larger injectors and boost.

Re: just installed fff turbo kit....

well got everything working pretty much alright. but a few problems:

1.) ocassionally i get the reduced engine power light that comes on. i think it might be a lose wire in the throttle body and the car runs like sh** when the light is on. the light will only come on when i first start the car and it is random. i have to turn it off and start it a couple times and it will go out, or sometimes i just kill it and wiggle the MAF and TPS wires under the hood and start it and the light goes out and it is fine no driving issues. The light has never come on while driving, just when i start it and it only happens about once or twice a week.

2.) SES light problem my oxygen sensors seem to be running lean but it only seems to occur at idle. i had it hooked up to one of the snap on live scanners that tell pretty much everything. The O2 sensors seem to stick at a very low voltage like .2 until i give it a little throttle then they almost seem to wake up and work just fine.Oh by the way my wideband shows that i'm getting plenty of fuel under boostor at least, my AF ratio will go anywhere from 10.5 to 12 depending on boost. Something else i think my fuel trims might be off. i don't remember specifically what they were but the mechanice said they were off, i remember a 2 or a 20 something like that, but since i don't know too much about the fuel trims in the computer i couldn't say what is good and what isn't. My thoughts are that the after cat might be screwing up since, since i can't see how the ones on the exhaust manifold could be messing up since nothing changed with them. the one after the cat now has a turbo infront of it. thinking posibly in o2 sim but only if it will fix the problem.

3.) Last problem, maybe related to the first, other codes that were thrown were for the TPS sensor, and of course the fuel level sender but thats because i accidently bent the little pins when i put in the walbro, i'll fix that eventually.


any help on anything would be great.

try new TPS code should go away

sound like you have exhuast leak at the header flange that why at idle it looks so lean

welceom to the turbo world


so how do you like it so far?

Re: just installed fff turbo kit....

Try a new TPS? wouldn't i have to buy a a new throttle body? or would i just have to drill out the rivets and put screws if they sell the TPS sensor on it's own?

its just a security torx that hold the sensor in hell i can undo mine with a pair of vice grips
