Like I said they tried all different combos of plugs leads and coils and they were very expensive too but nothing worked or changed anything but as far as I know once wasted spark conversion was done I don't think they tried different stuff with that as it cured the problem so there may well worth be some benefit but on standard stuff there is none. As the expensive stuff did not work I was never charged for the parts either as I did not have them on so it depends of they are willing to try them without charge.

It must have been. Otherwise he would have turned the boost down. It help 12 on the afr gauge for me by the way on full boost and a nice steady 14 on cruise.

Yea standard leads and they have done hardly any miles till you got it. New plugs and leads and it should be fine hopefully. Then you can come visit me sometime I'm still wanting another drive.

Nice it can't have been a very long run then. I said take a look at the plugs.

Not sure what you mean. It was mapped for my car spec which the Lc-1 showed nonissues on boost and no leaning out. I don't know if James changed anything to possibly compensate for your spec.

H and what power were they getting from it before they had to abort

At least you have an answer. Who put the G40 plugs in? The map may be slightly wrong due to your exhaust and intercooler.

That's just reminded me also try the ecu relay, er no scrap that possibly as it's standalone. The relays under the passenger tray are all replaceable from common motor spare type places who do electronics as it's not haltech specific. Are all the connections everywhere secure etc

Awesome been waiting on updates since you bought it.

I never did but I think it uses DOS to be able to program it. Glenn has the manual now as well so I can't remember what it says about it. From my experience it was only slightly hesitant and intermittent at the aforementioned 6k rpm at the full 1.5 bar on full throttle and it was something that could never be fully cured and is why it went to wasted spark ignition after trying loads and loads of combos of plugs leads and coils and was decided none made a difference except going wasted spark and the OE plugs and leads were upto the job except the plugs don't last too long, which is noted by the car hesitating at 6k which is time for some new ones in there and it does not hesitate till they need changing again. But as you are saying it's anywhere in the rev range then I don't know. I say a boost leak as you say there is a whistling noise and let's say it's a small one, then the N75 valve may sense the full pressure to open the wastegate to stop the boost building anymore then all of a sudden the boost drops and it shuts the wastegate to increase boost that would seem hesitant I suppose. Does it do it when driving a certain way full throttle, part throttle, or totally random. The N75 valves are known to fail so it may be that thinking it has full boost and opening the wastegate causing a jerk/ hesitation to you as your thinking keep going my foot is planted, you see where I'm coming from. I'm not saying it's a faulty water temp sensor but ignore he fact that the blue temp sender does this so mine should if it's faulty as they are totally different systems. Depends if they are known to go faulty James has loads of experience with the haltech as you know so he should know which sensors can go faulty on the haltech and what symptoms they can cause etc. Of it's driveable then maybe worth popping over for him to look at. One other issue dave had on his standard conversion was the engine moving too much on gear changes etc and the turbo actuator hitting the bulkhead which bent either the arm or something which is why I had VT competition mounts all 3 to prevent the movement, am I right in thinking you have a solid front mount, if so then that should rule that out hopefully.

Have a check of the silicone hose on the turbo that is the inlet and out let as they are super fiddly to get on so it might have slipped and caused a small boost leak.

You don't have a MAF sensor as well as it runs MAP.

My guess is a 20v ITB's

Overfueling whilst you had this problem or before? Plugs will def need looking at either way.

Cool just keep an eye on the plugs though at around 6k rpm. When it does it it is also random like you say and runs poor sometimes it will do it and sometimes not so maybe worth checking still.

The big turbo is the one to go for and most people with the later small turbo model upgrade to the bog turbo. Not pretty really nowadays to look at but my god do they fly, drove an escort cossie with simple boost and fueling mods to 330bhp and 30psi boosting slightly too much but that thing just spooled up and decked off down the road, absolutely brilliant to drive bit slightly awkward driving position for such a raw car, still to family car position, you know the one sat bolt upright and square. The thing with cossies as well they are really easy to clock some miles off them and also to beat the car checks with mileage.

Epic. Welcome to the world of tuned engines. Is it missing on high revs as well around 6k as when it does that it needs new plugs, I would say they need changing every 5-10k. It does sound like a lambda type issue though. Is it still using the blue temp sender as I thought he haltech uses it's own water temp sender and the other is for the dash water temp readout.

Of it were me I would keep the roof dark but paint the bonnet green too. If anybody remembers it it's like A7 UFO just a corrado,just needs a mental engine in now m

Wow never realised you had a thread I just always assumed you enjoyed posting eBay finds etc lol

If you did swap engines it's easier and thus less expensive to stick to how many cylinders you are starting off with in the 1st place.

I have no experience with kids in the back but there is a guy selling a recaro seat in the for sale section which is for your age group of tour child and he says in the advert he has no problems with it fitting. Only issue is the actual space of getting the child in the back as it is a little tight getting past the front seats.

It's quite a hard engine bay to sort out and for me it's the wiring thrown across the top of the engine that really screws it up.

If your on the motorway you will find you will be driving off boost alot of the time on part throttle which is good as it takes the stresses out of the engine as opposed to when your on boost which is when problems with reliability can occur. Also it should be pretty economical too that way as well maybe even more so than N/A.

I'm sure Shahn aka stormchargedvr6 got some updated ones but I can't recall which so take a look at his thread.

Which is best, I like the g60 but I also like the vr6, hmmm I don't know, but which is best, there is only one way to find out Fiiiiiiigggggghhhht
