V7 WRX Engine Cut Out....


Recommended Posts

i wouldnt trust a boost tap, why not just spend the money on a perrin ebcs, they work great!!! just installed one on a 2002 v7 sti.

i have a wierd cel thats pops up when its colder here. could this be my car telling me that its overboosting? just wondering.

The CEL could be the AFM maxing out. I noticed this on my mates V7 as well when he was running higher boost with no tune. The AFM is mapped to around 4.6v and its quite easy to reach this limit when running higher boost.

Interesting that I also have a 3" downpipe and exhaust, but my peak boost is 20psi and drops to 14 towards redline. No spiking. Running factory boost control and stock ECU maps on a VF34. No boost cut for me!

maybe the boost controller is not set properly - it should not affect the boost reguardless of the temp - meaning should mostly be same value but of course in cold u flowing more air for the given boost - best to wind it down a bit in the cold so that u stay within factory relm

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
