done but no boost!!
« on: October 16, 2009, 07:24:30 pm »
hey
cars finshed and running bar im waiting on a turbo chip off andy
thing is its not boosting well say a coupe of psi but nothing fast or anything
std k03 with forge actuator
to connect the actuator is it a pipe from it to the compressor housing nipple??
any ideas?
would the turbo chip do anything too boost it?
also my dipstick is poping out and spitting some oil out now and then.what could this be??
cheers

What strength spring have you got in the actuator?

Chip should be with you tomorrow (you'll need to use your G60 injectors as I said), don't advise driving it on your existing chip!

you'll get 10psi pretty much at the most with that spring.

Yeah, I use the green spring in mine as I've got Emerald and an N75 valve for electronic boost control, so need a low 'base boost' setting. Tensioned up normally you'll get 7psi or so with a green spring, you'll need a bleed valve to hit 15psi with one I reckon!

il try a bleed valve
been playing with it and the actuator is at the most on the bar/threads and still only 9psi around
it feels really dead on boost not like a turbo should feel/go like,think il have a good look at my timing as i think that may be the problem???
killing my head all this lol
cheers lads!!

get a stronger spring, the green one is no good unless you have a boost control system like andy has in his Emerald ECU

Nikky - it'll drive like a sack of shit until you fit the turbo chip and boost switch. For christ's sake, don't drive it around on the currrent map or you'll risk engine damage!

Massively high crankcase pressure if you're popping the dipstick out- hopefully you've not melted a piston and it's just a blocked breather.

Have you wired up the boost switch yet? Need to do that at the same time as fitting the turbo chip... Set it to 6psi.

if you're having no luck with it, dont give it. Its not the G40 way.

Anyway, i doubt 20vt it will be any easier.
