My Boost Keeps Droping Up and Down
i got a d16z6 with a garrette t3t4 turbo , turbsmart 38mm Wg, i jsut bought the car , the car was runing 15psi solid , and now i noticed that sometimes it drops to 12 then 14 and always different , wha could be the problem ? checked all the vac lines and charge pipes any idea's would be great thnks guys :jack:
|
journal or ball bearing? u adjust boost electronically or is there a spring on the wastegate
|
no non ball bearing not sure kinda new to turbo's but i kno its not ball bearing
|
well check the boost spring and see if that might be the culprit since u said u already checked the vac lines and charge pipes, also if ure bov is faulty and maybe seized it could be leaking boost, ive heard of that happening b4
|
yeh ill check it out my BOV is mounted on my intercooler on the side its a Greddy Type RS
|
i hope you're using a different MAP sensor than the stock one, the stock ones are only good for 11psi.
Without knowing if you're using a boost controller or not, its gunna be tough to figure out any problems. Could be a potential problem with the wastegate, the bov, a boost leak or the boost controller. If its a manual boost controller and the little set/locking screw isn't tight, its possible someone/something turned the boost controller down some. |
is the car louader? it could be a crack in the manifold, but check your charge piping and couplers for leaks and tears. also make sure your BOV is tight enough but no so tight that your getting a compressor surge.
|
i just checked out my downpipe and it has a crack in it and also my manifold gasket seems to be a lil old could that cause the boost drop and i hear a bubble wen the car is idleing , could it be the downpipe or the gasket or wha else??
|
which manifold gasket is it? if it's the gasket between the manifold and the turbo then it could be leaking exhaust so it's not regulating boost very well.
|
its the gasket on the head like where the manifold goes onto the head between there
|
ok, well anyway you have leaking exhaust gas so it could very well be effecting boost. change that and then see if your still loosing boost.
|
ok ill change the gasket and see wha happens thnks alot
|
i just finished replacing my gasket the cars still the same ? could it be the downpipe that its cracked and wen the car is idling i hear a bubble in the exhaust could that be it ?
|
^yes, that could very well be it, if you have an exhaust leak, expecially with a turbo, there's not enough back pressure, i'm not 100% sure if it'll effect boost, i have an exhaust leak and i still see 9psi but that could be because my motor puts out more exhuast gas (comapred to a sohc) or i still have enough back pressure.
|
ok thnks bro im welding my exhuast today and ill let u guys kno thnks guys
