HELP! Induction kit causing management problems/ Overfuel!

[Chris1]

Lol alright then. Do you have any input on my problem?

 

[james walker]

any running issues other than the eml? unplugging the maf would disturb it if you were forceful...they are sensitive things.

knacked maf would cause fuelling issues... unplug it and drive a short whil and see if it feels better.

id be changing the filter to a proven type i.e jetex.

A huge amount. Search will reveal that I hold the record for killing mafs.

Search will reveal I ran a RamAir for a long while.

 

[Chris1]

Ah right well y'see ive re-fitted the stock airbox now, and the car runs sweet as.

The cars totally stock now, it was running a split-r in 50:50 mode with the filter, thats when i had the overfueling problems.

I then put the dv to fully recirc, n before i had any overfueling problems i blew a coil pack :|

So what do you suggest?

 

[james walker]

bin the split-r

buy a good filter or leave the oem airbox on, buy a forge 007p

The coilpack is most probably unrelated. As James suggests, a 007p is a tried and tested dumpvalve that most 1.8t drivers opt for - they are a reliable solution to the crappy oem dumpvalve. For noise I'd suggest a Jetex or Green Cotton cone filter with a bracket to support it, preferable mounted on rubber to avoid vibrations being transmitted to the maf. If this doesn't solve your issue, try a new maf. HTH

 

[Chris1]

So the short of it is, ramair are no good?
And hows a split r diff to a 007p if you run it in full recirc anyway?

 

[james walker]

have a search for spli-r all will be revealed.

i wouldnt say the induction kit is causing you problems, its more likely the split-r

Run in full recirc it is no different

 

[james walker]

but takes some setting up to get right afaik.....

id sell the split-r and what you get for it will buy you a 007p and might sort your problem.

 

[Chris1]

Well spoke to forge directly & they said regardless of whether its run full re-circ, 50:50 or full atmospheric, its 16 clicks clkwise for a std car (no map)

I ran the car with the DV on 50:50 for 2 weeks, with no airfilter, just the stock airbox, and the car was fine, no problems what so ever!

 

[Chris1]

UPDATE!

Back again, so ive been running my LC totally standard for the past week. No problems what so ever!

Now do you think i should put a different brand of filter on, instead on a ramair?

Should i test the car for a week with just the filter and no dv?

Filter and OEM DV before you spend money on another filter imo.
