Installing Turbosmart Pneumatic Fuel Cut Defender On ST185

so your telling me i spent $200 for nothing when i can just block that pipe..

Yep. Awesome eh?

[dvmv_kim]

yes.


and you will see variations in boost pressure dependant on load on the engine/gear you are in.

so its normal?

i used an elctronic hks one in my old gt4 , as i still wanted to retain a boost cut of some kind. i raised it to 17psi so i had a backup. i would see 12-13psi in 1st and 2nd, and 14-16psi in 3rd-5th

[dvmv_kim]

did ur car last with that much psi running in those gears cause that sounds like what my car is doing

[flygt4]

yeah went for over a year like that although it destroyed typical clutches and gearboxes.
ive known a few other people start smoking out their ct26's in short time at 15psi tho

Oh the joys of a facelift ST185, 17psi boost cut for me

Will be higher with the Blitz ECU

Would pay to throw your car on a dyno and check afr's after playing with the boost

[dvmv_kim]

wheres the dyno place or is it just speedtech? cause i got told there a rip

[ChaosAD]

Theres a lot of places around with dyno's.
Generally for a power run its about $50 for a 2wd or $100 for a 4wd.
Its worth it for piece of mind though.

Don't worry, we've all gone through that stage before. You'll get wiser once you owned a 3S-GTE.
