Hellas850 T-5 Posted July 21, 2006 Report Posted July 21, 2006 Hi again guys,I have an 850 chip tuned from SCT,I have changed the exhaust from cat. and back,and K&N air filter.My car accelerates like a rocket but in the middle rpm,while I'm moving.Many times when I start from 1st gear,and change all the gears to high rpm it seems like asomething to keep the car.the pressure most of the time is ok(1.2-1.3 overboost 0.9-1.0 stable)and stays.what should I check?These awful moments,I think many bad things for my car and makes me angry. :angry:
prasamin Posted July 21, 2006 Report Posted July 21, 2006 Not sure what it could be....some type of fuel cut or spark blowout is all I can think of.check your spark plugs lately?
Hellas850 T-5 Posted July 21, 2006 Author Report Posted July 21, 2006 I had a problemin the past with a strange cut-off,my"tuner" couldn't help me,so I found the solution myself.I changed the plugs(until now driven 5000km).I put NGK BKR EVX 11,I closed the gap to 0,65mm and is all right I think.During acceleration the engine revs go up with no misfirings,but I have the feeling that the power dissappears.

(serious question guys)

850boston Posted July 22, 2006 Report Posted July 22, 2006 check and tighten down on all of the clamps on the air intake. That worked for me anyway...
TurboSam Posted July 22, 2006 Report Posted July 22, 2006 but I have the feeling that the power dissappears. one week after service i have the same feeling... Don't forget that a turbo car isn't runing that fine in summer like in winter. It's all about cool air ! 35 degree C are not really optimal... I don't know if others also have this problem but i can feel a huge difference between summer and winter. I like temperatures below 5 degree C modded intercooler and water injection may help ?!Sam
Hellas850 T-5 Posted July 23, 2006 Author Report Posted July 23, 2006 What octane fuel are you running? (serious question guys)Most of the times I run 100 octane,sometimes if I can't find it I run 95 octane.

Hellas850 T-5 Posted July 23, 2006 Author Report Posted July 23, 2006 check and tighten down on all of the clamps on the air intake. That worked for me anyway...Do you mean before the turbo?Yesterday I changed the turbo hoses with the samco kit.

Hellas850 T-5 Posted July 23, 2006 Author Report Posted July 23, 2006 :) Sorry for the delay to answer guys,but I was very busy at the workshop.Thank you all for your replys and advices. :)
Hellas850 T-5 Posted July 27, 2006 Author Report Posted July 27, 2006 I believe that a main reason for the performance is the fuel quality.
Hellas850 T-5 Posted July 30, 2006 Author Report Posted July 30, 2006 there's one mistakeDON'T use any other spark plugs except VOLVO COPPER PLUGSand i think you meant 0.065mm gapWhat is the part number for the OEM PLUGS?Thanks
