Bought a GSX :)

Eclipse4ever · #1 03-30-2006, 08:03 PM

I bought a GSX. Its a 1997, with a few mods. I have a small problem with the car that is driving me crazy. Its trying to stall when I give it gas and take my foot of the gas the rpms' play and its trying to die. Its got Apexi 3" exhaust, Big 16G turbo, e-manage Greddy management system. I cannon figure out why it is trying to stall. Everything is good and new. Sometimes it backfires but very very rarely. Any imput ? Thx

I had the same problem when my return tube had a huge hole it it and more air was going into the turbo then the MAF registerd. Do you know if the settings on the E-manage are right, or if your MAF is hacked? Have you played with your bliss screw?

The E manage is currently off. Its connected but its just showing a lot of information but not connected because I dont want to mess with it yet. The car is currently on stock boost. The air filter box has been removed and I just put a new filter on. What do you mean by MAF hacked ? Also where is this bliss screw ? I am just getting into 4g63 so pardon my stupidity. Also you know how the turbo engines have this knocking sound from the valves, any way to make it quiet ?

Thanks

Yeah lifter tick...you replace the lifters. But I have heard it doesnt always eliminate the tick completley

I heard lifter tick isn't really a big deal, to my knowledge it isn't that harmful, I think lol

Hacked maf= person took out your honey combs to try and make it flow better.
lifter tick= hey at least you knows its a dsm(dont worry about that until you rebuild it one day)
bliss screw= on top of your intake manifold

Not to intrude on this thread, but I kind of have the same problem. My maf is missing the honey combs, you guys think that is most likely the problem since now that I think about it, it started doing that after I removed the honey combs during the installation of most of my parts.

The biss screw is on the top of your throttle body, on some its covered by a little rubber thing. mine wasnt. Back it out to raise the idle, screw it in to lower it. I would guess you can play around with it to fix your problem.

sounds like your car's bov is being vented, plug it back into the intake

congrats on the car

Acutlay it sound like you're haveing problems with your fuel curves. If you don't have a data logger I suggest getting one, it will help you tune the car. With the lifter tick, that is actualy realy easy to fix. All you need is some 3G lifters, and a pry bar. I found out how to swap lifters with out taking off the cam shafts, so it only takes about 10 to 15 minuts.

I highly doubt that would cause his problem, mine has been vented for over three years without a problem.

With the car having an Evo III 16G on it, the previous ouner proably installed a stronger fuel pump and injestors to keep it from detonating, and if the fuel curves are no done proporly you you can have this problem. I had a huge problem with stalling untill I got my MAFT tuned right

Actually you do have a problem, no doubt about it, you've just gotten used to it, but I guarantee you spool slower inbetween shifts and you are running rich as hell. I'm not knocking you though, I'm venting too, but not by choice.

The only problem I have is going rich between shifts, Im on a t-25 and spool as fast as anyone else running one. The car came vented and I never spent the money to change it. It has never had a stalling problem. So like I said before I highly doubt that that venting to atmosphere will cause his problem.
