250horses Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 My SZ goes upto 1.3 bar with the front cat still in. Every one who has driven it says its one of the fastest Supes they have tried Now I thought it was stock. John Fisher advised me to look at the ECU on the passenger side for any extra bits ( I was hoping to find a Mines sticker......... he he he he ) However I did find 2 thingies wired into the ECU: A little plastic black box about the size of a fag packet A bigger gold coloured box on the LH side of the footwell There is no writing on either box.......Does anybody have any ideas??

250horses Posted November 6, 2004 Author Share Posted November 6, 2004 ooops car is a RZ TT not a SZ which I originally stated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 I'd wager the black box is a fuel cut defender as it has four wires - +ve, gnd, MAP in and MAP out. The gold box has a couple of beefy power wires and it's wiring loom heads off behind the dash rather than the ECU area so I'd say it's either something to do with an alarm system or something to so with a stereo... Otherwise it's tracing wiring time for you -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
250horses Posted November 6, 2004 Author Share Posted November 6, 2004 Cheers Ian, FCD makes sense as I am boosting at 1.3 bar. I have no idea how I am getting this boost ??? Engine looks stock?? You coming to Fram on the 28th? Or am I still the only red one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 Alas, other commitments mean I can't. Check for a bleed valve lurking near the first turbo? -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secondjump Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 Full de-cat and 3 inch+exhaust on a j-spec with a fcd would certainly boost that high, Charlie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
250horses Posted November 6, 2004 Author Share Posted November 6, 2004 Thanks Dave, Ive still got the front cat in, surely you cant get to 1.3 bar with just a rear decat and 3" exhaust Also I dont want to toast my turbos running 1.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous brain Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 Mines hit 2 bar and 1100 degrees exhaust gas temp so I am sourcing a restrictor ring from mr wilson V soon I hope. Till then I am turning the boost controller down to 0 bar and hope that will keep the pesky critters in line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
