bump

me...no

i bought a s14a.

i went jap.

dump valve now sold.

just fitted a replacement turbo on the lagunaaaaaaaaa' and took it for a spin and im gettign smoke out of it...now i aint put the water hoses back on so it aint water crack on the housing or nowt. but i do seem to have a little oil leak on the outer casing of the turbo from the oil supply line, woul...

ive noticed recently that now ive turned the boost up (touches the red) on full boost sometimes it goes right to the red then goes back about 2 mm to the end of the yellow.

what would cause this?

off the clock at 140? the 172 i was in went to 160+ but struggled to get to 140.

not when im racing me m8s 172 clio.... they things have crap top ends... also does anyone else get this, im using the usualy aftermarket set up, up the boost and its amazing then 2 days l8r the boost lelevl is the same everytrhing is the same but the car dont feel as powerfull (or am i getting used ...

right i had recently been running what seemed like high boost then all of a sudden it all leveled out fueling was fine and boost was only into the yellow about 1/2 way... so upped it last night and boy was i impressed really snapps yer neck when floored 1st 2nd 3rd but i wanna know does increasing t...

see i heard that dump valves should be as close to the throttle plate as possible, which is why i dont get why volvo have theirs away down in front of the turbo? The original place in front of the turbo was chosen because it's a very simple, easy and cheap solution. But not the best one. :D //Pelle...

cause im a tight scotsman.....and the car will be leaving me soon, so im just trying to sort some thigns out without spending too much.

right, just been out and sorted my setup, as there was a kink in the line i had my guage attatched to, so now when on idle i get what your meant ot according to mr haynes then when i gun it the pressure increases, now increased pressure does not mean that enough fuel is being supplied just that the ...

anyone

right for a while ive wondered if the pump i was using for the engine was supplying enough, so ive finnaly got round to fitting a fuel pressure guage and took it for a spin, before i give what i found, what should happen? whats pressure should it be at when ideling, should it increase when i rev the...

mine fooked up on me and now the revs are all over the bit at idle, so need another one.

anyone?

because the turbo is forcing the air through it under pressure, and the engine and ecu is set up for it, a n/a engine sucks its air at waaaaay less the force and the ecu of a n/a is not set up, so would probibly have bad idle and sluggish. thats if it starts at all (depending on how bad the restrict...

thats what i was gonna say as its like taking your induction kit hose off and fitting a hose that breaks into 20 smaller hoses. engine may struggle to suck hard enough.

oh i never knew that, ya knwo which ones to check betweent he two, as i had to add some wires for the ignition feed to the fuel relays etc... any ideas?

see when i had the odl turbo on the engine it was pissing oil intot he system, and all i did was drain it out maybe i should have petrolled it.
