Bought the Starion need a lil help
 

Ok i got the starion to day for 400 bucks and cleaned it up and its looking good. I did a Tune up: Plugs, cap, rotor, oil change, pcv, fuel filter and wires. The car over heats due to a shitty radiator but it drives fine till i hit around 7 psi then the power just cuts out. I need a new turbo i think cause its putting a lil oil in the intake, any way why is the power cutting off? am i over boosting? it went up to about 11 psi in 2nd and should the i beable to move the wastegate actuator by hand easily? it seems stuck to me. Any help would be nice thnx

List your setup, especially fuel and ignition managment.

Re:Bought the Starion need a lil help
 

100% stock

Re:Bought the Starion need a lil help
 

im pretty sure they run 11psi stock...

maybe the oil is causing it to not run right if its gettin a lot in with the air.

the turbos shouldnt be too much but i wouldnt buy a stock turbine if you're going to buy one. buy a bigger one with the same flange. those are kickass cars and i almost had one but some ------- bought it right before me

Re:Bought the Starion need a lil help
 

post pictures od this car. i wanna see it.


I would just park the bitvch chand fo througu everything, especiall ythat turbo, get a new one mam. there are plenty of turbos for sale on here. then just do a really really good tune up. then buen some tires odfff!@!!!














im trashed! LOL
my life sucks!

Re:Bought the Starion need a lil help
 

I just checked the compressor wheel and it has very very lil play, i was told that they went to 11 psi after 87 and was 7.5 psi b4, and i got a 87

Re:Bought the Starion need a lil help
 

hummm....do a really good compressiopn test, and a really good tune up, and check your connections on everything. just go through and tune everything up, and get all your belts tight, everything. just spend all day and go through everything. change your fluids, make sure everything is good, i mean everything. you will be suprised how much ---- will be fucked up.

change your plugs, and if you can wires, and cap. just go through everything!

*if some ---- doesnt sound right, its because im drunk. LOL

You should have a lil vacum hose that goes to the mass air flow meeter.thake that hose off an go drive it an see what it does.I beleive you are hitting fuel cut an thats why its shutting down.let me know what you find...EX Mitsubishi Tech

Re:Bought the Starion need a lil help
 

Im assuming the fuel pump is in tank right? could i access it from the hatch? I know this thing isnt getting enough fuel cause it bogs down horribily @ WOT but if i ease on the gas it revs

LOL.. no, that's the owner's nerdy kid. :P

Same color interior as the one random-strike was gonna get.. I would've rather had black, but hey.. it was cool as hell. Leather seats, power seats, A/C, power windows/door locks.. all the goodies. And the seatbelts said "Turbo" on them as well :P

Re:Bought the Starion need a lil help
 

i want thoes seatbelts

Re:Bought the Starion need a lil help
 

Sorry for helping along with the hijacking of your thread, 87na_rx7.. lol. Looks like the Conquest was a good find, especially for $400.. Hell, even if it blows up you'll have a bunch of good parts to sell, right? :P

Re:Bought the Starion need a lil help
 

HIJACKED!!! lol

no i cant find the map sensor on this thing, im such a newb at this car. But the strainer in the fuel hose b4 the fuel pump was clogged to hell, Carb cleaner to the rescue. I got the black leather interior its nice, and the back seats say turbo on them too

Re:Bought the Starion need a lil help
 

Take some more pictures then when you get the chance. Have you taken it out drifting yet? :P

Re:Bought the Starion need a lil help
 

no drifting, i need tires and new shocks. ill get more pics when i get done with this fuel ----. I need to special order a strainer, but i said ---- it and im just gonna put a 5.99 fuel filter inline

Re:Bought the Starion need a lil help
 

Its built into the mass air flow sensor.You dont have one on there.Have fun learning about your car....its no honda

Re:Bought the Starion need a lil help
 

i say ditch the rotary and get a 350 with nosssss

but thats just me

Re:Bought the Starion need a lil help
 

Who's talking about a rotary? Im working on a starion mang

Re:Bought the Starion need a lil help
 

I think he might be referring to your name.. you never know with Ravage.. :P

Re:Bought the Starion need a lil help
 

no rotary in a starion. plus its a mitsu....? WTF mang!

Re:Bought the Starion need a lil help
 

LOL RENR is rubbing off on ya, I see :P

Re:Bought the Starion need a lil help
 

ok fuel system is clean now and it still falls on its face. My hot rodder uncle told me to check the vacuum advance so i disconnected it and not it revs a ---- load better but still falls on its face @ about 5k. I cant find the damn compression tester

Re:Bought the Starion need a lil help
 

check and see if the stock ECU uses a boost cut or BCS system...many of the late 80s/early 90s turbo cars I've worked on had those(MX6s, MR2s, etc.)...after 7 pounds or so, they cut out like a rev limit.

Re:Bought the Starion need a lil help
 

Well i unplugged the vacuum advance and it runs like it should till about 4.5 k then it stutters, now i need to special order that ----. Any1 know of a place to get a rebuild kit for the turbo?

Re:Bought the Starion need a lil help
 

>:( Just wondering if you read my post.Do you know what a airflowmeter is?If you do how about taking the vacum hose of it like i said.Did i say take it off the vacum advance?NOOO anyway you are hitting whats called fuel cut.The ecu is calibrated to the airflow meter an whats happening when boost is coming in the airflow meter is sending the wrong info to the ecu.this in turn is making the ecu go into fuel cut.Remove the vacum hose from the airflometer an plug it.Go drive it an see what it does.I have been downthis road when i worked for mitsu before they close there doors last month.

Re:Bought the Starion need a lil help
 

Where is it, this car is foreign to me as i stated b4

Re:Bought the Starion need a lil help
 

the airflow meter is where the aircleaner is.The intake pipes atacht to it Passenger front of next to head lamp ass big round black metal container.There willbe a vacum line comeing from your wastegate boost controller an it will connect to the outside next to the intake pipe.Small vacum line.Plug it of an go drive it.....

Re:Bought the Starion need a lil help
 

unplug the wastegate? umm no, there is no vacuum anywhere around there except for the wastegate and that goes directly to the pipe b4 the tb
