Reply With Quotedidnt someone say that if the ecu detected a knock before it limits the boost until its reset?
Im free boosting now, no signal from inlet what-so-ever, also have it plummed into the original solenoid. without the inlet being piped in, shes boosting at 12psi without having that tap thing piped in. I think im going to give up trying for more
didnt someone say that if the ecu detected a knock before it limits the boost until its reset?
Try re setting the ECU if you want, just disconnect the battery for about 20min.
When you reconnect it you have to re set the idle, you do this by revving out to about 3k rpm and slowly reduce the rpm in about 300rpm increments, you need to do that about 3-4 times, otherwise it will stall on you when you stop.

I tried what you said, Made no difference. Im just going to leave it as it is, its fast enough at 12psi i suppose. Heres a little brain tickler, My battery light stays on when i start the car, If i have the lights on/Blower on and stereo on the light goes out. After a while of driving, I can have all this off and the light doesnt come on. Now ive replaced battery as needed a new one anyway, Ive checked the vehicle is charging via a multimeter and all that is ok. But the light still comes on. This problem has only seemed to start occuring after i hit a pot hole hard!. Any clues on were to start. I do hope its not a semi dead alternator
battery light staying on = the alternator is failing..... intermittent fail = failing. Just start looking for one already.
I dont think anything is wrong with the alternator tho, Am i right in thinking that the regulator is not part of the alternator on these engines? (Im a heavy good vehicle technician and am used to working with alternators with all the goods built within), Isnt the regulator next to the battery, looks like a heat sink with a plug connected to it, Ive Checked charge rate, Charges fine on idle with no battery light on, If rev'd it will rise to almost 17v's indicating regulator fault and thus brings the battery light on. Note when engine is fully warmed up the vehicle charges fine through out the rev range without the battery light coming on. Also, ive removed all connections on battery/alternator/regulator etc and cleaned connections. Trust me i dont have a problem buying a new alternator, its just with performance cars in the past, experience has shown its always good to pinpoint the problem before chucking parts at it

ok, my mistake, I just been to mitsubishi and found out that the regulator is built within the alternator, But is replaceable, Sweet.
What Oil is best for these engines?
Amsoil 0w30 is what most people in club VR-4 run and also what I run in mine

What about the Filter, is that the same as a Normal 2.0 V6 or even an FTO?
Yep, same as an FTO, Z411 is the ryco code, just cross reference that to get a better one, I also use an Amsoil filter.

o right, cheers guys!
Can't really find any Performance parts for these either, i mean basic stuff like Bolt on Mod's
What intakes do peopl use with this engine?
The stock one, or a custom one :)
You're going to learn quickly, seeing as these engines were never released in the states or big in australia, there isn't much of anything in the way of specific bolt on mods, you have to look at whats going to work and try it.

Worthless, unless you're going to make a custom cold air box.

bit of an update really, Alenator packed up today, Came home on the back of a AA truck lol
Question time.... Are the Alenators on NA 2.0 V6 Galants the the same as the ones on this engine, or even FTO ones?
