V7 STI hesitation


Hayks

Recommended Posts

Hi all recently bought myself a new project, 02 STI prodrive and it drives amazingly handles well but its just missing the pull that i know it should have. At the moment its alot slower then my mrs BL5 GT on 17PSI. (The legacy is pretty quick for a legacy though) but it also feels abit lazy coming onto boost (lagy) and at part throttle has a hesitation around 3-4500rpm then starts to come online up over 4500rpm. Im going to chuck a boost gauge into the car to see what its running and i have checked for boost and vacuum leaks and tried another AFM. The plugs do need doing as far as im aware so will do those asap! Any ideas on what could be happening?

Plugs getting done tonight 👍🏽 Will see how that goes if still not good then ill try sorce some coil packs. Anyone have any ideas on the lazy spooling of the turbo? No blown out gaskets so im wondering if the turbos worn out of tollerance?

Not too knowledgeable on this but could the catalytic converter could be blocked/buggered? Assuming you have cats...

My V7 Sti spools up full boost around 4k rpm and drops all the way from 18.5 psi to 12 psi, even 4k is later than most v7's iirc.

Has no cats unless theres one in the up pipe? Im going to replace the stock up pipe and extractors with a twin scroll set up off a BL/BP legacy in the near future.

Na speedo climbs a fair bit slower then my old Type R integra did, oil is fresh fuel is fresh fuel filter is fresh 

 

Could be oil in the loom.

That's a silly idea. The bl/bp have a different flange to the v8- sti and only fit smaller turbos than what you currently have. You want the v8- sti header and downpipe.

      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
