Mike2JZ Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 You hit boost/fuel cut. Basically if your turbo creates more boost than expected the stock ECU will cut power. To counter this, you may need a HKS FCD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icsea Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 I don't have any BPU upgrades so it this normal? Thanks for the advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Not a real idea but i didnt think you could just connect UK turbos to j spec cars I may be wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilkinson Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I think you're right Russ. The UK turbo had a higher boost than the J-Specs. As suggested you are likely hitting fuel cut. This would be the equivalent of installing hybrid turbo on a UK Spec. When did you have the UK turbo installed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icsea Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share Posted October 18, 2018 (edited) It was installed before I brought the car. I'll have to dig the receipt out. Found the paperwork it's recorded as a turbo fault both turbos were removed and the front was damaged on the turbine so UK ones were sourced and they were rebuilt with new gaskets the work was done 14/04/2016 Edited October 18, 2018 by Icsea (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 So you've got a stock air box and cats in place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Im going for the car not understanding the UK spec turbos then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icsea Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share Posted October 18, 2018 So you've got a stock air box and cats in place? Yeah the airbox and cats are stock I'm looking into BPU anyway so would it resolve the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 In theory it should never reach boost cut with both cats and the air box in place, thats what Toyota used to control the boost level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 UNless the ECU does not understand the UK spec turbos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
