twoquik Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 Can someone tell me what this sounds like? situation is under throttle even if its full or half throttle car appears to not go anywhere just as if the turbo is not working. i can hear the car spool up though and the guage reads the right pressure. it makes no differerance if i run 8 pound up to 13 pound. only engine mods are hks pod blitz boost controller stock turbo stock cooler where should i start looking? could it be the spark plugs or coil packs? or would it just be sometype of leak?

MrGTST Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 If you are on the throttle and you can hear the turbo spooling and you arent going anyway could be a slipping clutch? Just a guess Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/47958-problem/#findComment-966796 Share on other sites More sharing options...
twoquik Posted August 4, 2004 Author Share Posted August 4, 2004 nah clutch is fine, and when i say not going anywhere i mean its just doesnt take off like it usually would. just seems like i am driving a n/a with a blow off valve lol.

Jimbo2000 Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 either a leak somewhere or a busted turbo i think Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/47958-problem/#findComment-966883 Share on other sites More sharing options...

knore Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 youve had a few problems lately ben? have no idea on this one, check all the basics like hoses and connections, maybe bad fuel, need new filter?

WazR32GTSt Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 are you trying to say that upping the boost isn't giving an increase in power? or are you saying that your car is slower than normal and its not boost related?

superspit Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 Loose or broken intercooler hose yep yep yep yep.............I totally concur Inasnt!!!!!!!! Mine gave the same effect regardless of boost pressure I manually dialled in. It was found to be just a silly loose big hose clamp just prior to the plenumn. Tightened her up and back to normal. I feel your pain, but ur making boost (pre boost-gauge anyway...and that's all that matters!!!), it's just not being sent to the right location cause it's VENTING from somewhere to atmo!!! You'll be fine! Just check everything (hoses/clamps) and don't take anything for granted. .........unless ofcourse your turbo really is stuffed!!!

LOW25T Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 i had a simmillar problem a while ago, my car used to run like a complete dog, regardless of boost. happened a while after i had the timing belt done, turns out they stuffed the timing up a bit and made the car run like a pig... just one possible cause...

SSMark hmm but if the boost gauge is showing + boost then theres boost going in as the gauge is getting the reading i assume from the intake plenum so theres compressed air going in the plenum.

knore Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 hmm maybe youve lost a spark plug or two or failed coil pack, that would drastically affect perfomance If you want, buy new plugs and come round ill help you put them in. Changed my plugs a few times now Assuming it is spark plugs though, could be anything Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/47958-problem/#findComment-967824 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timd Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 Just reading your post again. Your prob sounds similar to mine.(see post in forced induction) making boost, reving out, no audible pinging etc. I replaced spark plugs bout a week ago, tested coil packs, fine. Ill let you know if i come up with something. Went to overtake a ute pulling a trailer today at 110, only just made it past :Oops: lol Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/47958-problem/#findComment-967962 Share on other sites More sharing options...
superspit Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 hmm but if the boost gauge is showing + boost then theres boost going in as the gauge is getting the reading i assume from the intake plenum so theres compressed air going in the plenum. nope......good point!! But wouldn't the reading of the gauge depend on where it is tapped into? ie: ......tapped straight into the plenumn, your point is true (plus you've blown my leaky hose bracket out of the water 'cause there are none left at this point) But if ur gauge is tapped well prior to the plenumn (like mine is at present), chances are there could be a leak after the gauge tap. BUT...aha...if you had 2 gauges (in the interim) you could 'narrow down' the vicinity of that leak!!(??????) I'd bet that this skliner has got a gauge tapped well prior to the plenumn.(?) and therefore his gauge shows boost (it is there!!), but it's not going where it should. It just doesn't sound like timing or plugs to me. (i'm sure he'd be 'complaining' differently if it was??) wotdurekonmate?

twoquik Posted August 5, 2004 Author Share Posted August 5, 2004 ill have another good look tonight, and i will tell you were my guages are tapped into, i have one for my electronic boost controller that gives me a boost reading and another for the old school type gauge that also gives a reading, they always match also even since i have had the problem. but yeah i will let you guys know where bouts they are tapped into tomorow morn. ill check all my clamps also but they seem all sweet, havent looked at the cooler pipes, but i only have a stock cooler. cyas Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/47958-problem/#findComment-969053 Share on other sites More sharing options...

cameron Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 Have you fixed the problem ? If you havn't I'd say its your timing, your crank angle sensor sounds like its been too far advanced thats why its making boost, reving and going no were. Try turning it back a little bit and see if it improves or get a timing light and set it back to standard.
