Thread: I need help with a turbo install

I have a BB kit with a u12 ecu. I put the ecu and 370's in as the first step and the car ran like poo.My car wouldnt idle and mist like crazy. Any one have any idea whats up with it?

have you checked your fuel pressure?

You need to do the basics to troubleshooting, to help yourself, first.

You also need to be VERY descriptive with your posts, as not everyone here knows exactly what you have as far as setup is concerned. For all we know, you could have left the DE MAF installed, which won't exactly work properly with the U12 ECU.

Basics:
Cap
Rotor
Plugs
Wires
Ignition Timing
Fuel Injectors
Fuel Pressure
MAF
Stop beating the dead horse. It's dead

thanks. What MAF would work good with the ecu if I cant find the u12 MAF?

U13 MAF, Avenir MAF, etc. You're looking for an SR20DET MAF at this point.

You would need to use SAFC to correct for the MAF/Fuel combination, if you continue to use your DE MAF. That, or get a tuned ECU from Calum or JWT.

U12 uses the same MAF Tekk, i never had luck using the U12 ecu with usdm sensors, the coolant temp is different and make the car run like ass, also it uses the skinny 02 sensor, so if you dont have the right one it will dump fuel at idle and make it idle like crap too. Most of it has to do with the usdm sensors especially the coolant temp.

Good point, forgot to mention coolant temp sensor. I guess I had just assumed that he was using the JDM sensors that came with the setup, if he had an ECU. Good lookin' Sneaks.

Im surprised i even remember this shiet dude, im all about the big diesel power, im focking hooked on it now!

Yeah we all know you like your big powertoys :P

thanks guys,sorry if I sounded alil dumb I just started into boost.
