Installed the new engine into the car on saturday and it runs fine. Cars driving and seems to be working good, except.......

When you put your foot down the car boosts way to high, it hit 1.8bar when I put my foot down so have only done it once way to much boost......it drives fine if you dont put your foot down hard and its still got the boost restricter in it so it should only be hitting 0.7.......Any idea what would cause this?

Fane suggestes one of the actuators on the turbos?

Make sure the boost controller is connected.. ย could be a simple thing like that..

I dont have a boost controller it just runs stock boost through ecu atm. Pretty sure its actuator, am going to work on it this weekend, out come turbs and pipeing again.......

Pretty sure you can see if the actuators are working on the turbs without taking them apart.. you sure the stock boost controller is hooked up properly, I only suggest it as having no solonoid working will cause stupidly high boost pressures.. if not my bad and good luck pulling it apart again.. :cheers:

Cheers

cant believe you got all the way to 1.8

on a new engine?

How about backing off when it passes 1 bar next time, or even better when it just gets over stock boost

This doesnt help me solve my problem......

We didnt know it was broken, just put the foot down, doesnt take much time to hit that kinda boost, i watched it climb to rnd 0.5 bar i wasnt driving dad put his foot down then I told him to stop.

If you must know we didnt know what to expect or to do to fix it really which is why i've posted here. Now we know what to look for wont happen again.

    • I clean my wheels every time I wash the car, I also clean the barrels, the only product I use on the wheels is truck wash and a pressure washer, followed by (inset your chosen name brand) wash and wax, time per wheel is probably 2 minutes total, cleaning the barrels is easy with one of these microfibre thingies on a stick from Sabco, they're also great for getting in between the front guards and body, and tight spots in the engine bay ย 
    • An updated post here. Sounds to me like there's definitely a bit of sketchiness here.ย  Old mate with 10 rusting Torana's in the front yard might be more who they're focussed on. (For right or wrong).
    • Is this not just about people wrecking, and storing, multiple cars in their front yard? I now a tow truck driver that was contracted by the council to clean up housing commission front and rear yards in houses and unit car parks I'm all for working on, and doing maintenance on your car in your garage or driveway, but some people definitely take the pissย  There's one house locally to me that I walk past regularly where the front yard and driveway looks like a wreckers, multiple cars in various stages of being stripped, and the yard looks like all of fluids are basically dumped on the ground I may be wrong, but it seems that the initial reports, which I've seen nothing actually official about yet, may be getting taken out of context, like alot of the latest "the sky is falling" stuff found on the youtubes for clicks
    • have they? Link appreciated. I live in Casey. I can see both sides of the argument in this case. There's a lot of sketchy stuff going on. There needs to be a clear definition of what this is supposed to be IMO. I wager the intent was to be a broad sweeping brush against people who have 4 cars up on blocks on their front lawn, not someone who services their own car behind their own gate on a weekend bothering probably nobody. But it'd be hard to legislate the difference there.
    • Oh, the wheels were already off. I wouldn't normally take them off to clean them although it does make it easier with the ceramic, so I might take them off when reapplying. I don't drive much but now with the ceramic coat, when I do drive and they get dirty I can get most off with the pressure washer. I'll be switching to dirtier pads soon which was the motivation for the ceramic as I usually just clean them and sometimes use Autoglym wheel protector. Nah, f**k the barrels! Haha, I'll give them a quick scrub when they're off the car and a pressure wash, but even I draw the line with the barrels. Yes, dark coloured wheels allow you to get away with a lot! ย
