Hey guys I have a 05 grs minor mods (dp, tbe) nothing major. The weird thing is in the morning my car wont boost past 12psi until is warm up. Once is warmed up then it goes to its normal 21 22psi. Is this regular for an evo?

 

No, sounds like you have a leak. Make a boost leak tester. You can find out how from the HOW TO's section.

You shouldn't be boosting 'til it warms up anyways as you'll just be creating premature wear on your cylinder walls. Our motors were built with room for heat expansion. You CAN drive it immediately after you turn it on but DO NOT rev past 3K and stay out of boost until it reaches operating temp.

 

what?....rele?....never ever heard of that on any evo ive worked on...ever.....thats really weird...that has to be the turbo...only thing i can say make sure your running super or premium gas , not to much help sry man lol.

 

who f-ing rips on a cold motor? dont be that guy - let the car get up to temp before you go beating on it.

 

no i dont rip on it! i just notice it! but yeah i will do a leak test. I imagine thats the problem.

 

+1 Good luck finding that leak.

 

+2 ^ hahaha goodluck thats an odd one

 

cornercarver is right, drive the car once the temp needle starts moving, dont boost till it's on normal temp. I've read this on a flier from mitsu, I think the link is in this forum somewhere.

 

im pretty sure the ecu dosant let the motor go past 12 psi until its warm. The ecu is protecting its baby from your heavy foot.

 

Yes CBR is right If you car is cold generally under the halfway mark on the temp guage the cars ECU will limit the amount of boost until the car is at that point. If you have a boost controller it is up to you to be smart about trying to boost your car when its cold. But dont worry it is a normal thing so take a BREATH AHHHH! lol
