Engine Troubles

[JiN]

Ok, so ever since my rebuild, my car has been doing some odd things. For instance, on certain days, if I rev around 5k or so and let the rpms drop, my car will die. And on top of that, I've tried the lubricants and had them reajusted, but my belts will not stop squeeling. And it's gotten worse, like to the point they sound like theyre about to snap. I also need to know how to cure fuel cut, cuz I think that's what I'm hitting now. My mods are:

-FPT28 Turbo
-3'' Apexi Downpipe
-3'' Tsudo Catback
-NGK plugs (gapped @ .30)
-K&N Airfilter
-HKS SSQV BOV

I think thats it. Thanks guys.

Don't forget all your stickers! ;)

Rewire your fuel pump--that should help with fuel cut. As for the rest of it, I dunno...

Does your car die when it's warm out? Or just in the cold? I know my car will sometimes die when it's this dang cold and I haven't let it warm up long enough.

Also, is that all you have for mods? You shouldn't be hitting fuel cut with just that I wouldn't think. I'm no expert though... If you are, rewire your fuel pump and see if that helps. If it doesn't, I've got a new Walboro 255 lp fuel pump sitting at home I believe... :)

Is your BOV recirculated into the intake or is it venting to the atmoshpere? if you are venting to the atmoshpere that could cause your car to die. I would suggest putting a larger pump in your car.

Yea I doubt you have a maft so Id say that the venting is causing the dieing.

Also you should upgrade to 550s, I have stock ones now and even at 13 psi in this cold I get fuel cut and my duty cycle hits 100+.

I just put in some 550s and should have the car up tommrow and well see if thats what the culprit was for fuel cut. IC pipes and the GM maft really open up the airflow

He has a 2g Peter, that is a whole different deal. I am willing to bet it is dying because of the vented BOV too. I would at least rewire the fuel pump. You are in pretty desperate need of a SAFC or DSMlink too.

[JiN]

To be honest, the BOV sounds like the problem. Because I only experienced the fuel cut thingy once I put that in. It is venting to the atmoshpere. But at the time I had my boost restrictor pulled out. Now it's back in, and I have to put in the MBC I bought. As far as it dying out, it mainly happens when it's cold out.

I'll get you a 1G BOV and you can give me the SSQV for my van.

Eat a dick Dane! jk LoL. I love this thing. :bounce:

Yeah, if you are venting to the atmosphere, that could be causing your car to die when it's cold out. Venting to the atmosphere isn't recommended under any circumstance and usually makes your car run like crap.
