22896, 2 PSI And Only 5 at redline. WTF Posted by pearlwhite2gnt, May-22-02 03:47 PM Ok First off I finally got my car back together last night with my cams, valves, vavlve springs, and turbo. Well I know you are supposed to take it easy the first 1500 miles but I wanted to try out my turbo. I have been waiting forever for. Anyways my car will only boost to 2 psi if that at WOT. Then around 5k to redline it will max out at f 5 psi. It is really sluggish when it goes from vacum to boost. What is the problem. I have checked all piping connections, plugs, wires, which are all new and gapped to .035. I can not figure out what the deal is. someone help me out. Please I am in dire need of assistance. I was so excited about the turbo and now I am all bumbed cause my car is just a little faster than before. I have the HRC stage 2 kit with FMIC. could the actuator vavle be out of adujment an be open. TIA | |

22898, RE: 2 PSI And Only 5 at redline. WTF Posted by JasonESi_T, May-22-02 04:33 PM Your fuel pressure may be TOO LOW even, or it could be something totally different like your battery or alternator or TPS or ISC or throttle body...etc. | |

22899, RE: 2 PSI And Only 5 at redline. WTF Posted by Manek1, May-22-02 05:06 PM sounds like a bad vaccum leak, what does your boost guage show at idle? | |

22900, RE: 2 PSI And Only 5 at redline. WTF Posted by pearlwhite2gnt, May-23-02 10:27 AM my boost gauge reads 21 vacum at idle. I am so confused. I am not. It sucks that I cant get any boost until like 4k and that is only 1-2 psi. Could the actuator valve be out of adjustment and be open. I dont know much about turbo systems yet. still learning. I really am depending on you guys here on the boards. I really appriciate your help. Thank You. x( | |

22902, RE: 2 PSI And Only 5 at redline. WTF Posted by carolinacat, May-23-02 11:53 AM what kind of cams did you put in there stock? if not stock a friend put some bullfrog cams i forget the grid and they were not for a turbo application this could be your prob... | |

22903, RE: 2 PSI And Only 5 at redline. WTF Posted by pearlwhite2gnt, May-23-02 12:20 PM yeah I thought that that was maybe the problem cause I put crane cams in, But they were the turbo grind cams. I pulled the actuator off and the vavle was being held open. So I shortened the rod as far as it would go and still too long. SO I put some washers where the actuator mount to the turbo. And Wala. Perfect 8 lbs. It is absolutly the SHIT> I love my car. Well I will get some pics posted soon. Thank you all For the info and trying to get this pig running right. Well now I am going to go back to taking it easy. NO BOOST. Its going to be a long 1500 miles. :thumbsup | |
