GSRwBOOST

Well first off the homemade gasket material sucks. Had to replace it twice this weekend. The heat off the dumptube helps to melt that section of gasket on the wastegate..

bolts seem to vibrate loose..

wastegate fitting on side port has stripped threads on that cheesy alluminum vacume connector that screws in.. need to replace that because had to take the one off the top so I could get home.

forgot the tools i carry and had an adjustable wrench, allen wrench for wastegate bolts and two zipties (it did the job, but what a pain)

on way home fuel/air meter went black, car stuttered and lost power.. got off freeway and turned fields off.. fuel returned (no boost thank god), turned fields back in after a few mintues and seems fine, except for idleing a little high and bounching up and down (maybe that damn sensor for tps)...??

wastegate only gave me 1-2psi before becomeing annoying, so getting on the freeway n/a really sucked...

best part is I got laid several times and my girlfriend bought ME dinner at Outback Steakhouse in Santa Anita..

Anyone have any ideas on the fields/fuel/idle problem?
wastegate fitting size?

just though i'd share my horrible sunday..

just wanted to say ... doesnt sound too bad

yeah i can not get more then 7psi which might be a good thing right now

most fields problems are wiring so start there

GSRwBOOST

all conections are soldered and hooked up correctly.. have had the fields in since before the turbo was installed.. perhaps the fields is going bad?

i second that! sex and free food

Have you had the ECU out alot were i wire could have got damnaged? Maybe it is going bad??

GSRwBOOST

ecu was out for air/fuel wire hookup and pulled out for fields hookup.. other than that it stays there.... and I'm real carefull with the wires.. takeing in out and putting back in...

replacing that is not what I want to do... LOL

redline

what abou the boost controller does the blitz have anything wired at the ECU like a avc-r??

turbo's are constant maintainance for all those that don't have them....be prepared to have your hood up every time you turn around....
that's not to say that the problems out weight the benefits though

GSRwBOOST

blitz doesnt hook to the ecu...

i heard about the fields having problems if it gets too hot..?? mine sits on the steering column..?

dustin

How about take the fields unit out entirely? Sounds like a plan to me.

i second that.. turbo's are nice.. but too troublesome to look after sometimes I wish I could fit an NSX engine into my Civic.. hehe

man... ditch the fields, get some more ***, and maybe youll even get a free dinner again. that sounds like a plan for next sunday.
