ashbuster Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 hey guys , i just noticed that with overdrive off (so the lights shows on dash) if i boot it when it should change gear i get a sudden loss of power tried with od on and it didnt do it i was wondering what this could be it wouldnt be fuel cut would it? i know with my subaru that when i hit the fuel cut it felt like hitting a wall but this is nothing like that, its as if its just changed to a really high gear could this be fuel cut? im only boosting at 1bar with overdrive off and for some reason with overdrive on it only boosts to 0.9bar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashbuster Posted November 19, 2011 Author Share Posted November 19, 2011 not too sure didnt check to be honest but if i was to have a rough guess i would say 60, maybe a little more (motorway ) kickdown from about 25 and when it should have changed it happened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Strange. I'm not really sure how the whole Auto system works but I thought OD only came into play after 3rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashbuster Posted November 19, 2011 Author Share Posted November 19, 2011 what would fuel cut feel like on an auto mate? any ideas? just wondering if its that, i have no fuel cut defender on it and it boosts at 1bar but this is my first auto car when my subaru fuelcut it felt really hard no just a loss of power it felt like i hit something everytime ,really jerks you but this is just a loss of power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Fuelcut feels like a brick wall mate, it won't be that. Also, you would hit fuel cut regardless of the OD position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashbuster Posted November 19, 2011 Author Share Posted November 19, 2011 ohh so it would feel the same as the manual subaru then when it happens i get a red triangle pop up on the dash red exclamation mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 And this is only when you have the OD off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashbuster Posted November 19, 2011 Author Share Posted November 19, 2011 yeah mate for some reason with overdrive off my car will hit 1 bar with overdrive on my car doesnt hit 1 bar its just under have no idea why this happens, new to the supra, its been decatted with a chris wilson decat and restrictor ring to 1 bar by the looks of it but no boost controller or fuel cut defender Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Hmm, not sure mate. Something doesn't sound right, Autos might be different somewhere regarding load etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashbuster Posted November 19, 2011 Author Share Posted November 19, 2011 i think i mite buy a fcd and try anyway mate because i was going to get one so i can increase the boost to the max these turbos can handle which iirc its 1.2bar and it will defenatly fuelcut then i noticed on another site that theres a free way to stop fuel cut but i take it that its still not recomended to do this? any ideas on a good place to buy the fcd from bud?
