I have a missing link on my turbo'd b18c1 and im still getting a code 3 MAP when i boost.

whats the deal?

am i missing something?


6 psi
jackson racing FMU
440cc injectors
VAFC

 

you dont need the missing link first of all if you have a vafc and bigger injectors.

read up on the afc hack setup (search for good thread by liam on it) and ditch the missing link.

also the fmu is not ness. either.

 

yeah i know about the VAFC hack.. but i also heard it advances timings.. etc..

just got the car so im still figuring out whats been done to it etc. etc.

so i probably will go with the hack one day..

but i want to get this working for now..

thanks for the input though

 

sell your fmu and missing link, get an intank or check to see if it already has one. and run the hack. you will be a happy happy man when you do.

 

just curious.. how can i find out if it has an inline??

im assuming it would if it came with FMU and missing link.

 

well.....its kinda bigish. looks like a stretched out coke can. thinner. uh...fuel lines going in and out of it....er...i really dunno how to describe it any better than that. i presume he mounted it in the engine bay that is. if not, then just follow the lines from your fuel tank and see where they go. if you run into a pump, you have an inline pump. if not. pop open the tank to see if its the stock intank pump.

 

ok.. just talked to who sold me the car

its a GSR stock pump..

sooo

can i run the VAFC hack?

or should i just keep the missing link (which isnt working right now for some reason) and FMU?

 

Check to see if the missing link is missing the check valve.

how does running a v-afc allow u to not use the missing link??? won't the map sensor still see boost??? i recently just had a problem with my car...i'm runnin the hackand have been for a couple weeks...and it just started to throw a code after boosting then just coasting...didn't check the code yet but it resets when u turn the ignition off...the car hardly goes when the cel is on though...anyways gonna check it out this weekend...i say set the vafc to monitor map voltage and see what happens...who knows maybe i don't even have a map problem...find out this weekend...

 

i threw a code 3 one day on the freeway when i downshifted to pass a slower car. took off the missing link and cleaned it abit and it never came back.

 

how exactly did u clean it? i am planning on cleaning mine this weekend...
