My car stutters...
 

Call me a newbie... I just installed my td06 20g, 2g mani with hks wastegate and some 660cc injectors along with some bc 272 cams. i start it up and of course idle is lumpy. the problem happens when i start driving it. it doesn't build boost at all, instead it tries and drops, my entire car jerks around. I've been told this was a boost look but i highly doubt it is.. i checked everything over... could it be i'm just running super rich?

Re: My car stutters...
 

You have some sort of way to tune the car? Or a chip atleast for the injectors?

Re: My car stutters...
 

nothing... think that's the reason?

Re: My car stutters...
 

You're running 660's and a 20g without any sort of fuel control?

Re: My car stutters...
 

well what is your fuel pressure set at? check all vacuum and boost lines. check your timing you may need to advance it a lil bit. check your plugs and if they are super black then you are running too rich and if they are white then your in need of more fuel. = and you might need to go dsm link if nothing else works.

welcome to the land of D.S.M.

Yea sorry man, if I woulda known you didn't have anything to tune your car with I woulda told you that right away. If you did a boost leak test and it checked out good then you should just need something to tune with and you'll be set.

Re: My car stutters...
 

anyone make chips to compensate?

Hope you have an eprom ecu.

Easy way to tell if your ecu is eprom or not is to see if it has an E on the outside of the casing.

However, that doesn't always mean it is eprom, in the 1gs sometimes it will have a eprom case with a non eprom ecu inside. If you can pull it out and open it, you will notice a chip on the bottom right hand corner of the board, that means you have an eprom.

it's a galant vr4. no worries there. anyone local?

Re: My car stutters...
 

What do you mean anyone local? Lots of nukkaz here are local.

Re: My car stutters...
 

local person that does chips.

Re: My car stutters...
 

Maybe DB? But your best bet is what super bleeder recommended.

Re: My car stutters...
 

Yea shane @ DB can do chips. But you'll need to have him or someone socket your eprom so that you can actually swap chips.

Re: My car stutters...
 

Just because it's a VR4 doesn't mean the E-Prom ECU is still in it. Unless you're the original owner ;)

Re: My car stutters...
 

If you need just a basic fuel controller and don't have the eprom ecu, look into the SAFC2. Will be able to get you by.

Re: My car stutters...
 

just use an afc or dsm link and have it tuned...

Re: My car stutters...
 

For the time being, the cheapest way to go is to just get your ECU socketed and chipped (providing it's an Eprom). Shane at DB burned a chip for me and it worked great till I was able to get DSMlink and a tune from him.

Noob, you have twice as many posts as me and you don't know you need something to control bigger injectors? And I thought I was a noob:)hahahaha JK
