Engine stall on applying brakes

Post by jdm200sx »

Hi All

Looking for some advise before removing intake manifold. I checked all the vacuum lines including the one way valve from the brake booster and the pcv valve on intake. Im suspecting a leaking intake gasket but not so keen on removing to check,could it be something else like a sensor? The engine is a ca

Will appreciate some feedback.

Thanks:grin:

Do you have stock management and recirculating blow-off valve?

Yes,stock ecu,dnt have a bov fitted at the moment,need to get the flange made. The air from plastic boost pipe above radiator has a sort of a recirculating system going on back into a vacuum solenoid mounted on the intake

Lesson learnt the hard way. Problem causing the engine to stall was indeed the "Driftworx" top mount turbo manifold. What a piece of K#k! Put on stock mani,quicker spool with t28. R2860+ courier later:-x

Are you talking about Driftworks or Driftworx? Big difference.

Hey glad you found the problem, how would a topmount cause your engine to stall though? Difference in exhaust, maybe not enough pressure in the exhaust manifold? I duno, if any guys can elaborate itl be cool, I'm goin to fit a topmount soon also and itl be goin on for a little bit with stock management until I go stand alone, I hope I don't experience such troubles but I've never heard of that

From what I make of it the tubes where too big and didnt allow enough pressure on idle to create enough spin on the turbo to keep the motor going. Another problem was getting to the lower nuts. The rear 2 kept getting loose and blowing the gasket which was a b1tch to replace everytime. 3 times in total! My opinion,get the stock mani flowed and polished. It works best


So yeah,u spot on

I had no problems with the top mount I've build, turbo spooled up a lot quicker .So if your problem was caused by your top mount the manufacturer must have real talent.

Your engine dying when the brake is pressed sounds more like a torn diaphragm(not sure about the spelling).

Bargain. What I think was happening was that with the top mount you needed to adjust your base idle which I gues you did do or the std ecu couldn't control the idle well enough with the lower x-mani pressure.
