China Man Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Hi all, I had done the double de-cat today and it is the first time I had put the muffler on the Blitz exhaust to keep the noise down. After some motorway driving back to London from Watford and the muffler was GONE!!! The garage forgot to put the FCD I provided and couldn't get the denso 22 plugs I wanted in time. I am keeping my eyes on the boost gauge and so far it boost up to max 0.8 and never hit fuel cut yet. Not much road that I can test the car in London TBH. Not going well today at all !! The only good thing is the car does feel a bit more responsive and the brake lines from dude fitted onto the car nicely. Did anyone DIY install a FCD? Is it possible to buy a muffler?

Clarkey Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 These instructions are for a Greddy FCD .. but HTH http://www.mkiv.com/techarticles/bcc/bcc_install/bcc.htm Stock fuel cut appears at 1Bar AFAIK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Hi all, Did anyone DIY install a FCD? Is it possible to buy a muffler? China Easy to install FCD! Someone was selling a muffler on Ebay the other day, here it is: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=10428&item=4547078327&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Man Posted May 7, 2005 Author Share Posted May 7, 2005 Thanks Clarkey and merckx I want to run 1.1bar max so I guess I need a boost controller then. China Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarkey Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 If you have a UK Supe ... then definately. But if you have a JSpec - without a restrictor ring you should easily hit 1.3 - 1.4 Bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Don't worry about the lost baffle China, the car will sound much better without it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Man Posted May 7, 2005 Author Share Posted May 7, 2005 Clarkey, I haven't install any restrictor ring and with both cat removed I only hit max boost 0.8? I got 2.5" decat pipes and Blitz Nur-spec R. May be my BOV is not holding boost? I checked all the hoses and no loose hose to be found anywhere.

Homer Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 China, I can't remember if you car was jap or UK spec? If its UK then you'll need a Boost controller to see higher boost, if its a jap car then something might be up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarkey Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Worth checking Boost hoses. Even the most tiniest itsy bitsy tear in a hose is enough to leak boost. A thought .. maybe completely wrong ... If the decat pipes aren't properly sealed with exhaust seal gum stuff ... is it possible for that to cause a big enough exhaust gas leak to cause the loss in boost ? Simon (Green Peace) spent big bucks on his car trying to get his boost problem sorted, in the end I think it was simply fooked hose/pipe. It might also be an idea to give TTC mod a go. As far as I know if it still boosts while in TTC mode then you know both Turbos are ok. That's my thoughts - am not too techie am afraid still learning. Am sure one of the techie guys here can give you better guidance than me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
