My custom Turbo kit was installed last week. I am running a SMC+ with RC 550cc injectors. My settings are 48 at idle and 40 all the way from 1000 to 8000 rpm. The car idle like stock. The car is running great. Almost like stock.

Only problem I have so far is to start the car after I turned it off. Is that the hot start problem?

The car is really dirty but here is a picture of the engine bay.

 

What kind of BOV is that?

 

HKS.

 

thats interesting that you're getting the hot start problem with your RC injectors. in the past i've always read that people blame the DSM injectors for this. it makes me wonder if i want to bother changing to RC.

what boost level are you running with those 550's?

I'm running the AFC hack with the same problem. From what i understand, it's just a buttered up version of the SMC. I give it about 15 minutes before I can restart the car ... that is if I'm trying to start it again right after shutting it off. The engine stumbles a bit, so I give it a shitload of gas while cranking, and it comes to life (usually ).

 

I am running 8 PSI right now.

Daniel:

Exact same thing for me. Maybe its just a tuning issue?

My car actually starts easier after I have just turned it off, but requires a few extra cranks if it sits for a while. DSM 450s w/ VAFC

 

Just kind of weird...I'm running the afc hack and I have 35% taken out across the board, excpet below 1000rpm, where I only have 23% taken out! if I take out more it starts to stumble and idles very rough, hot or cold (I think?)...is this related to your problem?

 

I like the boostcoolers intercooler

interested in seeing some #'s
