Re: Questions about the fuel delivery - B18FT

Thank you very much for that info Robou :cheers: I will measure the temp sensor tomorrow from the ECU. But the info that i got now got me qurious 1. Is there only one temp sensor for the ECU ? (the one near the sparkplug in the gearbox side) 2. Is it possible that idle valve is broken or faulty adju...

Re: Questions about the fuel delivery - B18FT

'90 turbo has no priming. it has to crank a couple of times, than it starts pumping and igniting.. it starts at once only at jumpstart. This is basicly what i wanted to hear :lol: So i think the problem might be something else than fuel delivery. Car idles perfect and runs good but this starting pr...

Re: Questions about the fuel delivery - B18FT

all 480 s have an electrical fuel pump. the system should prime/pressurise for a couple of seconds before ignition. ufo thing is a fuel pressure regulator. So, there should be relay that is ON for couple of seconds or is it controlled by ECU ? I'am pretty sure that pressure regulator is in the othe...

Re: Questions about the fuel delivery - B18FT

The bad starting with half warm engine sounds to me as a bad cold start sensor. It's located under the most right sparkplug with a brown connector. If the coolant is 80c the resistance of the coldstarsensor should be 330ohm, at 20c 2500ohm and at 0c it should give 5800ohm. The small UFO thingy is t...

Hi

I had this same problem with 2 different cars. First one was with Richmodded ecu and later with standard ecu. The problem is inside the ECU but i dont know what kind of problem is it. Richard fixed the first ecu i had. Maybe he can tell more.

The 480 intercooler is huge, so any gains are going to be small, better to spend the cash on a free flowing exhaust instead. It may be huge but it could be bigger :) I know one case about 460 turbo, he changed his cooler to same size aluminium cooler than original and dropped about 35 degrees of he...

OK, i bought these injectors and they turned out wrong. They are low-impedance (2.5ohms) Bosch "804" injectors from -92 940 Turbo i think. Its not big deal but i though i write here that there really are different "804" injectors. These would probably work with somekind of resistor pack but i think...
