was boosting hard in 5th then i heard two beeps and then i lost power slowed down was fine untill i floored it again then it beeped and cut the power again wot does this meen normaly its fine the car is boosting at 1.6bar should i turn the boost down ?? everything seems and looks fine with no strange noises etc

 

HKS boost controller perchance? has a boost limit and a boost cut.. first beeps, second cuts boost.

Well a standard car has nothing that beeps so as JGM says, must be some aftermarket boost controller or something.

the controler is over near the passanger footwell and the beeps came from around the speedo area i think it has never done this b4 and has been boosting at that from i got it around 4weeks

 

1.6bar does seem very high! Is your car sorted to run that much?

 

i dont know but wen i bought it thats wot it was running was supost to be 380bhp i bought it from a dealer in england who had only just had it imported so its prob still maped for jap fuel i seen a post on reseting the ecu should i do this for running it on super?? wot would a safe boost to run at without taking to much away from the power? cheers

 

yea mate its a hks maby the sound did come from it but i didnt sound like it if it was the controler wil it have caused any damage or is it just a safty thing? should i reset the controler to lower?

 

resetting the ecu will erase all the learning it has done to try and compensate for the less ron fuel it is currently running on.. it needs setting up on uk fuel.

ok will leave it in to get looked at cheers
