My Road Trip to AMS
The soultion is to shift down
When you have a large turbo you dont drive it like a truck - you have to keep the revs up a bit higher and the turbine and compressor in the proper range of efficency
The real trouble with a large inducer increase but no exducer increase, though, is it makes the turbo much more likely to surge. Surge is the situation when the compressor "spits out" more air than the engine can swallow, which causes a backup of air at the intake and it actually creates reverse-flowing pressure waves that can be very damaging to the turbo. You want to avoid surge at all costs.
You can help negate many of the effects of surge with a ported compressor cover - (which you should have already) and also by making the BOV spring looser
On the IX I would expect that MIVEC tuning could also assist the situation on a IX
Finally you may be able to massage the EBC settings - particularly gain to help reduce the surging
The main point is that compressor surge is part of having a large turbo so get used to it and shift down !
HI Junior or "Ozzi" and also tim. its me Sam (white evo, the guy that was going to pretend was driving your car that on night at wendys) anyways, i feel for you on this long road trip specially with the stealing of the nav. (ps i can sell you my avic or hook you up with an eclipse, so let me know) anyways again, let me know if you guys want to get together maybe saturday night or something, let tim know so he can text or call me, glad you are back home!!!
P0300
Likely caused by the low RPM high loads and surging you mentioned. Like Al said downshift and keep the R's up a little bit.
i had a o300 code from the stutter box. just get the obd 2 code reader from any auto parts store. and youll be good. clear the code and it should go away. it comes on and stays on till cleared. i cleared mine and was good to go.
yes am i love it!! lol, that sounds good tim, i'll be working at cc til 11 though. i said that about the plugs before of your car throwing a code after we got the tune. anyways, remember last year at this time tim...at the toys r us parking lot....we were.....sideways!!!! im mad we havent gotten any snow yet!! dang!!
well ill be there in Febuary. iam shipping the car and meeting it there. so febuary 1st. ill be driving it around. Look for an unusaul Black Evo with an (@#) Alpha Numeric Sticker on the passenger side windshield.
