    turbo- Urgent answer needed working on it now

    in Engine Related

    Posted

    im 99% sure Everything was put back in the right place (beyond reasonable doubt anyways)

    would a vacum leak be likely to give this problem?

    car goes quite good still but the boost threshold is not right :/ kinda is like lag lag lag VOOOOOOM redline all of a sudden

    my thoughts are with the actuator or possibly some sort of vacum leak?

    any ideas there?

    As to the other question

    Don't have a boost gauge sorry -should get one eh!

    an as for codes I haven't checked yet but will go check now although i've never had any issues before with codes so im unsure how to check properly...

    :(

    so sad to hear another 1 crashed

    I'll never forget the day my uncle drove me in his 22b it set off a chain of events that are still rolling out as we speak

    My life goal is to get a 22b paid with cash an just enjoy having it

    how many are in NZ now? I heard it was somewhere around the 12 mark?

    also where an when is this being sold?

    EOI: anyone that will lend me a set or 5x100 wheels + tyres for playday

    lol ahhh well it seems he will learn the hard way an someone will bail him out an he will probably move onto something else an forgot his mistake

    its just sad ya know, he could learn the same lesson in a 5k car rather than 25k

    ADMITTEDLY -when I crashed my grandma bailed me out, an she was all "oh don't worry about the money we all make mistakes ect ect" (yea I take care of my family unlike some of my relatives) BUT I insisted on paying her back in full and Currently I have about 4k togo. Ive probably paid back over 8k since that day and its still counting...

    Do yourself a favor man just downgrade that car an get something that doesn't matter if you make a mistake.We all do it, and unfortunately its looking like you may well learn the same lesson I have but it will likely cost you double what its cost me

    I don't mean to be rude, but seriously this thread is like wtf

    WHY IS A 17YR OLD WASTING HIS LIFE SAVINGS ON A NEW CAR TO TAKE TO THE TRACK AN MOD ECT...

    heres what you need to do

    1-slap yourself for thinking you can afford to maintain your car an pay your debts study and race a 20k car on 50$ a week

    2-sell your car for the highest price you think you can get

    3-buy a TRACK CAR that is not road legal

    4-buy a trailor for your car

    5-buy a cheap subaru that is good /wrx/strs legacy ect

    6 save up for a house and dont waste your money on things like 20k cars

    oh an

    7-slap your dad for buying something so stupid at your age

    Its going to hurt alot for you when you get carried away an crash that 20k car(trust me IT HURTS) an you'll be left with f*** all but a wreck an some memories an no $$

    im not saying your a bad driver or anything but seriously until you crash a car at speed an realize its gone you will know why I find this threat fuked up

    turbo- Urgent answer needed working on it now

    EDIT* ok so installed up an downpipe an now got major lag problems :( car gets upto 4000 rpm then starts to boost but not quite like it used to.... the bov seems to be working with the boost an I cant feel any leaks, I took it apart today an checked all the lines.no cracks everything hooked up but one intercooler piping wasnt on properly, put that back in properly an it still doesnt boost properly argh, any ideas?

    I had to grind the old uppipe bolts off an had the wastegate sorta dangling there while i grinded. If I had bent this wastegate piece would it have these issues? the other thing was I split the turbo an it was in all good condition no shaft play at all. Im pretty sure I put it back in correctly but IF I hadn't would a bent turbo fin give this sorta problem?

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    ok well 6hours after starting to get the turbo off the car I have the turbo off the car an the uppipe off the turbo.The turbo is split .About to resemble everything

    I noticed the small circle piece of metal under the turbine on the turbo has abita movement in it. (like you can spin it freely) -is that normal ? is it suppose to do that? the turbine itself has no play at all an is surprisingly good condition for age. just that bit under it spins around abit to freely :/

    Urgent answer needed (or if you are in chch town im working on it on wordsworth/brougham st right now)

    heat wrap or stock heat shroud? whats better?

    in Engine Related

    Posted

    ok thanks for that info

    how does the uppipe fair? as thats the part I will be replacing soon And I am wondering to heatwrap or heat shroud on it and can do both if its going to work better

    Or is doing both just overkill on a stock car?

    I should note it is an sti, which will oneday be running a non stock PSI so that should be taken into account

    new motor wont run

    WHEN ASKING FOR HELP IT PAYS TO BE FRIENDLY AN NOT A LOOSE CANNON

    good to see you solved the problem though

    turbo removal >.<

    in Engine Related

    Posted

    OK, so a bit of an update

    after installing the downpipe to find it was still leaking, i removed everything once again.took off the downpipe an intercooler air intake ect.undid all the bolts needed

    had to buy 2 different sized sockets just to get into some of the fiddly little places (omg how annoying)

    got all the bolts off except ne C*T >.<

    The whole turbo an uppipe is moving around easily enough

    there is one bolt holding onto what is either a bracket off the gearbox or connected to the back piece of the engine.there is a big black pipe which runs up the back of the engine an looks to go onto the bottom of the turbo(although Its very hard to see)

    The problem being this whole mess of a job is stuffed because the clearance is not enough to fit a socket around the bolt because the stupid pipe blocks the bolt >.< seriously pissing me off get all the way through this job to be stopped by one stupid bolt that cant be taken off?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!"?!?!?!?!?!??! #@%@#^# $ DGF#@^@

    IDEAS PLEASE

    i have rounded off 2 sockets an bent a socket extension(yes they are cheap tools but the stanly socket set is missing a few bits I needed so I used my cheapy which didn't last)

    3/5 uppipe > turbo bolts have been rounded off an I cannot proceed any further until I figure out how to get that 1 bolt off.

    help needed please about to lose my motivation to fix this car an get it on road again

    What do you guys think of these headers?-wtb headers lol

    ok cheers, its just a stock redtop with a 3in downpipe (goes great with downpipe highly recommended)

    Uppipe is gona cost me 100$ new -trademe

    120$ 2ndhand genuine part at wrex lol seems odd they charge so much for a 2nd hand part

    BUT possibly can be fixed after its removed ? I guess I should save my money for the gearbox coming up and the unfinished paintjob to (sigh will it ever be fixed)
