Guest daz 6576 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 just took out my single turbo for the first time and it seemed to be fine at first and sounding awesome after putting my foot down a few times car sounded like a tractor and its still sounding very loud. the noise is coming from the wastegate with the screamer pipe on it. could it be stuck open ?

Jake Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Could be. Have you lost all boost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest daz 6576 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 it will still accelarate but not as fast. would it make your car sound like a bag of nails if it was stuck open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 How much boost was it making before the problem happened? Will it still make boost now? Or won't it rev high enough? Are you the guy that is planning on fitting a TO4R and running it with stock fuelling, injectors, ECU etc ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest daz 6576 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 it will still make boost but it sounds dreadfull. it sounded mint before this happened its on stock injectors for now and ecu but its not staying like that for long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest daz 6576 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 i think it was about 18 psi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 So about 1.25bar on a TO4R and stock j-spec fuelling then? You've probably melted a piston or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest daz 6576 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 possibly but the noise is just coming from the screamer pipe. suppose the only way to find out is to take off the wastegate and have a look if its stuck. thanks for your help anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 So you went ahead and fitted my T04R with stock injectors and ECU, I hope you have not done too much damage mate, Please get it checked out, are you running an AFR gauge ??

Terminator Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Are you the guy that is planning on fitting a TO4R and running it with stock fuelling, injectors, ECU etc ? You can't be serious ----------- all of the above and 1.25 bar. Pull the plugs out and see what state they are in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kieren1234 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 He keeps asking questions, but doesnt listen to people. If it is an xs-power wastegare then they are prone to sticking open when under heat. A way to sort it i have heard is to slightly ground down the piston of the wastegate but would just get a different one if i was you.

michel lane Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 some people will never learn , i guess listening to your friends did the trick and now you have a broken engine ...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest daz 6576 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 the car is not being run until it gets all other supporting mods such as an ecu and all the fueling ect so its not going to blow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 But you already have been running it at 18psi with stock ECU, fuelling....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLicense Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 the car is not being run until it gets all other supporting mods such as an ecu and all the fueling ect so its not going to blow So you don't think it's blown already? Despite not having any idea of how rich or lean you've just had it when running at 18psi, no idea of what the exhaust gas temperatures were, and now the addition of the fact that it's running like a bag of shite? Hmmmm. I don't know if it's blind optimism or blisful ignorance.... Personally, I think you've already fecked it, so you might as well run the nuts off it. Either way you'll probably end up having to strip it down. If not, who know's the problem "might just go away". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
