Well here we go. The only problem I have which drives me nuts is that I can't take off , launch or whatever is called. Running a 4efte with tongs @ 1 bar, emanage blue, autobahn manifold, large fmic, 2" straight through exhaust etc etc. Everything is brand new like plugs, rotor arm /cap, ultra 7mm leads etc. No boost /vacuum leaks (checked with the right equipment).
When I am about to take off, if I floor the gas pedal and I let off the clutch it bogs down and won't move.. It needs time to overcome it's problem . I don't know how to say it. Trying to take off from a slight uphill and I have to slip the clutch , give it more revs to go. Let's say I have floor the gas and release the clutch, it will do nothing at all , fall on it's face and slowly pick up till it hits boost. Low end torque is shit , ok it's a 4efte but anything below boost it's crap. But the thing that really pisses me off is that I just can't take off nicely. Whatever I do I have to slip the clutch or give it more revs to go. The only thing that I haven't changed in the engine is the fuel pressure regulator which is stock. Do you think that this might be dead or something and gives me crap? Emanage below boost is at 0 everywhere so it drives with the oem 4efte ecu map down there. I even disconnected the damn thing and drive it stock and does the same thing. Floor it down low, no go, it's like it bogs down or something and needs time to overcome it. Slow response or something , I don't know. Oh, my af readings are 14.7 when it does that, although I experience a rich condition everytime I reset the ecu for a week or something. But even if this thing cures and I get steady 14.7 reading while on idle it does the exact same thing. It's like it labors to take off. Other than that the car drives fine , no problem at all. It's like I have 2hp when I try to take off and then picks up good.
