R32gtr Hks T04r Not Enough Boost

[wrxkilla]

Ok tonight i have removed the exhaust and the apexi exhaust control valve, and found its that apexi device that caused the problem.

i saw 1.4 bar tonight as set on the wastegate. So im very happy, seem to have found the problem.

wil post some more pics and more detailed stuff tomorow.

hahaha, i knew it mate. what did i say today? 100% it's the ECV. glad you got it sorted I bet that bought a smile to your dial !!

[wrxkilla]

Well it worked!!!

The exhaust conrol valve it looks to me didnt have enough tension on it. with my hands i could quite easily push it closed half way from being open. then it got tuf to push, like you would expect it be. so think it must have been closing up enough under pressure to cause a blockage of sorts.

anyway for now its not in there, will get all the desired boost levels i want with ebc and stuff first, (as i only got 1.4 bar lastnight on wastegate spwing rate) (ihave 1.3-1.7bar spring) then fix up the tension of the thing before refitting it.

so atm i was hitting 1.4 far in 2nd and 3rd gears. but a certain intercooler pipe would blow off. done that 3 times. clamped it up tight as. so will try get some decent clamps today/tomorrow and get on teh dyno next week.

so thats good. here are some pics.

the one with my thumb shows how far it could push closed easily with not much pressure before it got tight.

and just a couple of other pics of the setup etc.

fark dude thats an anoying oversight.

well i guess that you and everyone that contributed will know your car inside out if you run into dramas again B)

i bet your relieved now. you shouldnt have to much trouble selling the gate

[wrxkilla]

yeah defo.

it was somehting i always wanted to check from the start, but meh im not the best of mechanics and sort of was lazy about doing it thinking it was a looong shot. lol pwned eh!

damn wish I did.

But yeah fixed all piping up today, car is running awesome, hard as nails on 1.2bar (set on boost controller) will go for more boost when dynoed etc during the week, will let everyone know how i go.

im just overjoyed its running sweet now.

thanks everyone.
