Fuel cut off???

[buhavis]

Well, I have installed a rear mounted turbo on my 02 protege es. with the stock computer it would try to shut the engine down at like 2 psi. So i got a msp ecu for a fuel management bu the problem is now that i have the msp ecu, the car is trying to shut down on me at 4500 rpm as soon as it hits boost. I have checked all my fittings and everything. There are no leaks that i can find. it is running very rich so i know i am geting enough fuel. But i cant seem to find the problem. If anyone has any ideas please help. I really apreciate it. Thanks

woah...i've never even seen this done on a protege before. but yes I think it is the fuel cut-off. I'd say try to get the fuel cut defenser or a new management

 

[buhavis]

Where would i go about getting a fuel cut defenser and what exactly does it do because the last thing i wanna do is blow the engine.

ehoa whoa whoa whoa whoa ait a minute!!! WTF is that? a rear mounted turbo? never heard of a thing? how the hells it working if its all they way back in the muffler section??>?????? u got any more pics and vid clips?

 

[Blackrose]

Wow that thing has got to sound interesting.

omg wow man!

 

[buhavis]

It runs great if i could stop that fuel cut off. It sounds crazy too becuase its right there at the end. I got the idea from ststurbo.com and i made my own setup. It is basicly the same as putting it in the engine bay except you dont need an exhaust manifold or an intercooler.

 

[djarkitek]

i heard you get huge lag though usually

 

[buhavis]

thats waht a lot of people say but its not true. A lot of people are afraid to try it because they have heard that but the truth is it doesnt have much lag at all. Its really quick. Also i used a small turbo for a faster spool up. Its a k03 off a 1.8 audi or vw.

pm sent, i still dont get how it works?

 

[djarkitek]

so no problems with that intake sitting in the open there...aka water...and such..plus hitting bumps..it looks like it's in good condition.

 

[buhavis]

No. no problems with the intake. It usually stays dry when it rains and it hasn't hit anything yet lol. I am gonna make a water sheild for it eventually. I just have to be careful because i cant go through deep puddles ya know? hey ill pm you back with all the details tengoestetempo.

 

[D-rock240]

Wow, that's a first for me.

 

[Tengo]

alright thanx man, really really interested in this kind of setup, thanx buhavis

 

[djarkitek]

your originality is FREAKIN me out man. stop it!

 

[buhavis]

Hey no prblem. I hope i can help. also if you want to see some more stuff about rear mounted turbos and where i got the idea check out www.ststurbo.com They make the kits for camaros and corvettes. thats where i got the idea from.

 

[buhavis]

One of the thing s that made me do it was the fact taht i have never heard of it being done on a protege and i wanted to be the first to do it. And it worked so if you have any questions let me know.

 

[djarkitek]

i saw an interview with a guy that had it on his z06 corvette and only complained of some turbo lag

i was reading on the website and noticed that they say a basic setup gets you only about 5 psi but you can tune up to 20....how much are you planning to boost normally?

 

[buhavis]

It's really not bad. the turbo lag is minimal on my car.
