turn your boost controller off... thats what i do.

i have a questions: how long were you running "10-15" psi, and how did your engine not explode? Also, please tell me you have intake and exhaust..

To fully get rid of that fuel cut/hesitation, if that's what it is, you'll need to lower your boost and get some Engine Management (EMS). Its basically a secondary computer that runs your car and tells it how much fuel to use depending on boost/throttle position/rpm. Some can also adjust the timing of your ignition spark. The SS AFC is the simplest and it's like $350. get something, and you car will get BIG power and will be very driver-friendly. Plus it will be much farther from blowing up.

I must have a forged engine and i dont know it because I haven't have any problems at all, I also have an HKS exhaust i dont know how big but i can fit my shoe in it

i get what your talking about all the time in the winter. but thats cause i live in minnesota where is gets really cold. but easiest way to fix it is to not boost durring the wintr other wise everytime it will do that fuel cut thing. just be easy on the gas for the next couple months

Awesome! ... That way if a manage to fix it, I'll let you know!

About this E-manage thing you are telling me about. I have 3 questions.
1) Does it work together with B-Profec II?
2) Is it easy to install?
3) Does it need to be tuned?

1) yes, ems systems are meant to go along with boost controllers.
2) very easy install, there are how-to's on here i believe.
3) the Unichip comes with a decent map, and the AFC "super map" is pretty good for general use as well. But yes, whatever system you get should be tuned according to your mods and boost levels.

LOL. Dont worry about it as soon as winter goes away I Will set my B profec so that I wont let it go over 12 psi, so that way I wont mess my car up. Now I was looking at the unichip but according to what I read I am now under the impression that the thing boosts only to like 10 psi in the map B, is this correct?

 

[cosmo420]

please tell us that you have a forged engine with some good engine management....otherwise...step away from the vehicle, it will explode.

lower the damn boost NOW unless you know what your are doing.

not really I have been running 10psi summer- 12psi fall/winter for 3 years now (knocking on wood) with no probs as of late, the key thing is oil change after oil change, after oil change, I change my oil every 1500-2000 miles, or depending on how many times it would see 6800 rpm. of course she is not bone stock, but the motor is 100 % stock with what Mazda has put in
