Anybody's help is appreciated but Shiv's or David's would be best!!!!


I recently had road race remove my stage 3 kit and install stock kit.

Car was returned to me running 11 lbs. (figured it was something to do with tuning)

Download Xede map Stage 1 +

Car still running 11lbs. wtf???????

Remove intake. What do i see???? i see missing boost pressure lines that go to factory boost control solenoid. Both lines missing, not hanging around. MISSING.

Go to Mitsu to buy lines, they dont have em. Go back to road race and they fix everything up. Honest mistake, no biggie.

But heres when things just start to **** me the **** off.

New lines installed, factory restrictor pill removed. CAR STILL BOOSTS 11 lbs.

WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF

Road Race told me that was all they could do from there ( which was all they could do since the xede is shiv's product)

Now vishnu is closed for the night.

Im tired of playing phone tag with these two shops so now im hoping Shiv or David can help me solve this crap.

Anybody with any comment or suggestions i appreciate a whole lot.

This is ****ING FRUSTRATING

 

did you end up selling the kit?

 

yes kit is gone

 

stupid question but are the boost wires on the harness fully connected.

 

Make sure there is a restrictor pill in the line from the turbo to the "T".

 

The boost lines that goes between the T and the lower intercooler pipe needs to have a restrictor in it in order for the factory boost control system to work. Without it there, your turbo will only boost to 11psi. There was a restrictor in the boost lines that you used with the Stg 3 kit. This should have been re-used when you went back to your stock turbo.

you da man shiv......thanks a lot

 

WTF!!!! Shiv.........I went and found the lower intercooler pipe that you were talking about. ( its the black one that connects to the bottom of the turbo....right????)

There was no restrictor pill in there and i dont have one now.

Where should i go tomorrow in socal to get one of these??????????????

 

Yep. From that pipe, there should be a nipple. The short hose that goes from that nipple to the "T" needs the restrictor. You can get it from a Mitsubishi dealership. However, you will need to buy the whole wastegate line set-up (3 hoses with the T) which will cost around $50. Just call to make sure they have it in stock before going there. Or, just call up Road Race and say that you need the one from the hoses they took out.

Just my 2c

Thanks for clearing all that up for me and for doing it so quickly

omg..... I put the restrictor in the line and started her up.

25 lbs!!!!!!

lowered the settings on the boost table

25 lbs!!!!!!

lowered even more (a lot more)

25 lbs!!!!!!!!!

I have cam gears at -3,-3. 264/272 cams, tbe, intercooler piping (lower), injectors and pump from stage 3.

 

and of course your burning those changes right?

 

(This is not shiv btw) Vishnu_evo8: is that stage 3 kit for sale by chance?

 

Yes I burned those changes. several times

When i go back after seeing the car still runs 25 lbs I download and show maps and all the changes are still there.

The boost creeps in really quick too. all of the sudden WHAM........boost FLY'S up very fast..........very weird.

 

Zero out the boost map and see what happens.
