cuts out after booting it?
Turbo Mini Forums

hey all, again one for feeble (still no internet!)
ok we went to doncaster this weekend (it was crap lol) and ever since he has had his car running, it will cruise fine then if you put your foot down and try a bit, it goes quite well, but then it will cut out for about 5 seconds asif the ignition is turned off it will sometimes pop a little. this only seems to happen after we have visited about 4500rpm it will shift from there but then afterwards it will cut out.
he has the MBC set quite low, and the boost guage never goes above 0 (he doesent want to risk blowing the engine up so needs to get to RR ASAP but money is the issue) anyway, he turned the MBC a turn today as we had an idea that it might be overfueling and needs more air to go witht he fuel at higher rpm:)
and it seems to work, since then it is defonatly faster no doupt about that! and it doesent cut out afterwards, it did it once but not again since. so could tihs be the problem or do you think it is all in our heads? lol

sorry for lengthy post:)

oh, also since we replaced the oil cooler with just a pipe going from the block to the oil filter,
the oil pressure guage is goig mental! it used to stay at a steady 50 ish now without the oil cooler it idles at about 40 then goes up to about 60 ish when reving etc, is this normal? i guessed that the oil cooler just used to dampen this so we never saw the fluctuations.. (woah big words)

thanx, Dan
