Is it normal for a ka24e to bog down in second gear while drifting? It'll initiate fine but halfway through the turn it starts to lose power and straighten out. It's a rebuilt ka24e running an auto ecu.

Power loss while drifting?

lose power? or regaining grip? did clutch kicking work?

It's bogging down. And clutch kicking doesn't work.

Maybe a problem in the tank, fuel sender or baffled... it might starve when subjected to high lateral G load... just a thought

should be good, open up the tank and look if everything is still nice and tight... did you have at least 1/2 tank of fuel or were you nearly empty?

I was around a half tank. It just started to do it after I switched to the auto ecu. When I had the manual ecu in I only had the problem with the load limit.
