o ok i see thanx man. its a T28 turbo that i have in now. u think 0.9-1.0 bar will be good? do i take the ecu to a technician to get reset?

Dude do not increase your boost if your running a T28!!!! it flows way more at 0.8 than a T25 at the same boost pressure.

And no, resetting your ECU isn't going to do bugger all. S13's don't have learning ECU's in them.

you sure you running a T28?
I'd get a Walbro fuel pump, a manual boost controller and well not sure what you'd do ecu wise, just getting a uni-chip might make sure you don't run to lean if they map it.

ja im sure im running the T28... i dont have that much money so i gota sort these probs out with not spending too much. gonna do my spark plugs today which wont cost anything and then ima look around for the fuel pump.
my turbo only at 0.6bar, should i leave it like that?

What have you done yesterday?

nothing really, just "reset the ecu" and went to see if it made any difference....
i think ima get my car serviced before i do anyhting, coz it needs a really good service.

Did it still splutter....if it did....get the gaps down to 0.6 and see what it does, as Daniel said, the turbo does flow more, if you leave the boost where it was, set the gap of the plugs and reset the ECU sothat all preveous memory of AFM is relaced by new data it should give more fuel because the AFM reads more airflow.

The ECU does not learn as persay....but it does "listen" to all the sensors to output what fuel and timing to adjust to....resetting the ecu wipes all data that there was and new data replaces that with new data from the sensors.

To increase your boost you need to follow the steps i and others have mentioned earlier, larger volume fuel pump, smaller spark plug gap, your ecu should now be able to adjust to the new air flow easier.

Every car responds different, when you do push the boost you need to take it bit by bit, look at what the car does, some guys get it up to one bar, some just manage 0.8

the splutter decreased a bit ja, gona do the plugs today and see what happens. ill let u guys know.
thanx for all the help guys 🙂

ok so i did the plugs, the spluttering has gotten less sort of.
i rode it untill the car was warm and it seem to get better.
but when the car idles it runs and then almost sounds like "hits a bump" (cant explain any other way). im gonna ride it again later and see if it still happens.
gave the car a lekka clean now, will upload the pics before the respray and after. 🙂

You need to up your fuel pressure.

how do i do that? do i need a new fuel pump?

Start by getting a adjustable fuel pressure regulator with a gauge that way you can see what you are working with. The gauge will also tell you if your pump can keep up.

It's already known that the pump can not sustain much more than standard.

riding my car like this wont mess it up will it??

It will if you do too long, till you can sort out the stuff, maybe it's best to put the standard air filter and so on back.

Just a question....describe where and how you installed the cone filter and adaptor...

at the place where i got the filter and they installed it for me, i watch them.
the basically just switched the two. why?

Did your car have the standard air filter box?

If its just the filter that changed you wont need a lot more. 🙄

yep it did. alfy, the guy that had the car before me, put a bmc flat pan filter in and now it has the cone in.

Ja pa....ma hy wil meer boost later....so die begin is die begin....pa...

So they did connect the adaptor before the afm?
