Theres a plug on the on the back of the intake that comes unpluged and it loses power but is run when it is plugged in

the wastegate doesnt work

Headers have a leak

and burns oil like no other

Also

umm, im gonna go out on a limb here and say you should get the exhaust leak and wastegate working before you hunt down a performance problem. chances are it's one of those....
also, zip tie that connector on the back of the intake so it wont come off...

 

[Jakeman17]

WasteGate and Exhaust are getting looked into now the connector will be fixed asap

Yea, trying to make power when your car has broken parts is not good and will throw you right into the "typical jimmy rigged DSMer" crowd.

Is this a 1G or 2G?

 

[Jakeman17]

1G

 

[KaMaSuTrA]

What kind of MAF are you running?

Yea Thanks

Headers are off were supposed to get welded today but ran out of time

 

[KaMaSuTrA]

I read the thread and saw the pictures, the reason you're probably cutting out is due to the 1G MAF hitting fuel cut. If the car came with the GM MAF and translator, I suggest throwing that on and dialing the proper settings for the translator, that should eliminate the fuel cut.

Turbo is T-ed wrong getting fixed when i get lines
The MAF is ok
Just ordered a FPR
Also missing a idle speed stabilizer

Even though I just got rid of mine, I'm local and willing to help out a bit. Maybe bring it to Luke's this week and I can look it over.

Oh, what is this plug you speak of that keeps coming un done?

 

[Jakeman17]

There's 2 plugs on the intake Mani
It's the lower one

 

[Jakeman17]

The plug stays now bc we zip tied it lol

I guess I'd have to look at it to see which one you're talking about.

 

[Jakeman17]

It's driver side right below intake the second one down. Not sure what it is for all I know is it has no power when it's unplugged. I hvnthad a chance to pull it up at scho

 

[bikrboy128]

pics? is it on the throttle body? or mounted to the body? there are lots of sensors in the engine....

 

[Jakeman17]

Mounted on intake manifold or right below it I don't remember exactly

 

[Jakeman17]

I got the FPR today and installed set to 26PSI like it said in the manual

It seems to run better ill see how the MPG is tomorrow when I drive it

well its about time.
now i just have to find out where you live so i can steal it.













But honestly? If you need help on anything just let me know.

Base pressure for a 1G is 38 psi with the vacuum hose not hooked up. 26 is way too low.
