chokes at 3 grand WOT
 

my mustang i just completed the boost swap, and took it wor a drive, after a few mins for warm up, i take it out, and at WOT it chokes at 3 K RPM, i'm not sure why, any body have an idea? also, has any one else had a probelm with stevemode's oil retun line ?? mine is pissin oil...but then again i'm retarded

Re: chokes at 3 grand WOT
 

maybe its because its a mustank

lol get a honda dickhead dont ya know!

Re: chokes at 3 grand WOT
 

i'm working with what i got !! besides, every one and there brother owns a honda, how many turbo 2.3 mustangs do you see rollin around ?!

Re: chokes at 3 grand WOT
 

oh god help this kid

are u running an fmu?
do u have a wideband?
Have u checked ur dizzy?
is ur timing locked?

Re: chokes at 3 grand WOT
 

timing is fine,

not sure what the hell you mean by FMU ..


and it's a 89 mustang...so dizzy can't be stuck..

i forgot to mention when it's N/A, it runs fine, all the way 2 6k RPM

EDIT: negitive on the wide band

Re: chokes at 3 grand WOT
 

My stealthmode oil drain line was leaking a bit until I tightened it up with a socket wrench. The flathead just didn't tighten it enough that's all.

Re: chokes at 3 grand WOT
 

ur either running to rich of to lean
what are u using to add fuel to the boost

Re: chokes at 3 grand WOT
 

uhh no adding fuel from boost....


this shouldn't need it, it's only 7 lbs of boost.. and it's a stock copy from a thurnder bird, i might be running 5 lbs of fuel less...but no more than that...


EDIT : i fogot to say ... if i bring it up to 3 grand 50 % TPS, and then punch it, or semi punch it ...it uhh ...works fine..but i don't feel the boost ...or it's not all there...

Re: chokes at 3 grand WOT
 

so are you telling us your running no fuel management what so ever? :-X thats a big no no if you are

its most likely something with your fuel, timming or spark.

Re: chokes at 3 grand WOT
 

the other cars just like it are running no fuel managment.. i don't under stand, this is basicly the same setup as 1000's of other mustangs...

Do you think i could be over boosting ?!

I can hear that turbo whine like crazy, i wonder

Re: chokes at 3 grand WOT
 

hmm do you have a boost gauge? For me the 60/63 just begins producing boost around there... maybe its some kind of map sensor issue?

Re: chokes at 3 grand WOT
 

no, i don't have a boost gauge setup yet, i'm trying to find mine, but it's no good, i need to find one

(PS) LOOKIN TO BUY A BOOST GAUGE CHEAP

Re: chokes at 3 grand WOT
 

do you have a boost leak... i was thinking that these are maf equipped... is that right? If you have a boost leak the maf will think youre boosting more than you actually are causing it to bog or run like ass...

Re: chokes at 3 grand WOT
 

maf ? mass air flow meter ? no, it's one of the few that i've seen that doesn't have one ...

no boost leaks that i could tell,

Re: chokes at 3 grand WOT
 

so basically you swapped over the ecu/injectors etc from a turbo thunderbird?

Re: chokes at 3 grand WOT
 

no, i didn't swap the ECU or injectors, from what i rember on what i've read, the ECU's are the same ...but the injectors are 35lb...not 30's like i have

Re: chokes at 3 grand WOT
 

how could the n/a and boost ecus be the same? I realllllly wonder about that one.... Id double check that

Re: chokes at 3 grand WOT
 

what year mustang?

Re: chokes at 3 grand WOT
 

i don't know any more, i can't figure this one out....

i'm on turbofords.org... and i can't register with out an email account.... BUT you can't use aol, hotmail or yahoo as an email adress

GOD DAMN I HATE THIS

EDIT :

89 mustang LX 2.3 4 cyl no MAF or " VAIN " meter, straight intake...

EDIT 2 :

I tottaly forgot, the turbo is the compressor is .60 and the exhaust is .48

Re: chokes at 3 grand WOT
 

I thought you had to add the vam and ecu.
Once you get the vam, here is how to wire it with your factory harness:

Re: chokes at 3 grand WOT
 

welp, reading that last page, i figured out i have to spend MORE money on this ------- car ...injectors, vain meter, ECU, and do some more wiring, and blah blah blah ... i hate this so ------ much...

Can't i just unplug the map sensor ? and call it good ? or put a check valve on there ?!

I am open to any donations or ideas that don't include sell it and buy a honda ....

Re: chokes at 3 grand WOT
 

I would try an fmu and the check valves on low boost.
I have read about mustangs switching their map sensor to a 3bar.
Good luck.

Re: chokes at 3 grand WOT
 

ahah this is funny stuff. i cant just put a your on ur car mate. even if another model came with a turbo on it... l

Re: chokes at 3 grand WOT
 

uhh what ?!

i figured it wouldn't matter,

I was too busy thinking about my truck at the same time, not thinking that a EFI motor would care,

----, if i knew it was gonna be this hard, i would finished my god damn truck
