Boost help

Discussion in 'Member Journals & Project Build Stories' started by subarusti4life, Aug 7, 2009.

  1. Hey all.. maybe someone knows whats going on

    i have tons of power until 9lb of boost and then all the boost dissapears... there is no engine jolt... just the boost dissapears!

    I have a MSquirt ECU..... I have an appointment at Battleground for tuning

    ..do you think they could figure it out ?

    I'm sure they can...all the tuners in this area area are excellent at diagnosing problems. I'm sure both Dan at Batlground or Scott / Doug w/ Topspeed can figure it out.

    Btw...sounds like a wastegate issue...
     
  4. i think it is also...

    What kinda turbo you got on thur? Sounds wastegatish to me as well. Vf39? Cuz wastegate issues are common with those.

    WG opening
    1. WG kaput
    2. BCS not releasing pressure (pinch hose, BCS kaput,...)
    3. boost lines/hoses damage crack opens at threshold

    Does "disappears" means goes to 0 or just stops rising?

    If the WG was "kaput" it wouldn't actuate, so it wouldn't open, and he'd overboost, not have less. If ANY of the lines/hoses are damaged or leaking it won't open when it should, so it would overboost, not have less.

    If it only makes 9 psi the whole time then it's possible the BCS is dead or not being activated by the ecu...

    nevermind - different person.

  10. Worst day at dyno

    okay we found out that my original mechanic needs to be shot!

    my timing was off like 108 retarted
    my trigger wheel was wrong
    the megasquirt wiring was wrong
    spark plug order was wrong
    timing was off


    also... now theres a slight boost leak!



    okay... battleground kicks ASS!!! and hopefully tuesday.. it will be ready for tuning! now that the kinks were worked out

    I'm SO confused... I just got off the phone with a Wazzy with a legacy with a megasquirted STi V3 motor, who lives in Acworth, but said he's never on wrxatlanta, and is currently in Virginia with a death in the family...

    hmmmmm...

    I asked him by text, because he's at a funeral and all, if subarusti4life really wasn't him. He replied "I promide (sic) that's not me."

    I told him that he should really check it out because he's got a doppelganger.

    I just sent him a text "Amazing, that other Wazzy, subarusti4life, posted your phone number on 7/25." I should tell him that he's going to have to meet that guy...

    Schizophrenic or something???

    This is what I posted earlier, then ninja edited:

    This is the e-mail I got from him on 8/6 at 6:31 PM after he had missed his 3:30 drop-off and inspect the day before and his 9am 8/6 appointment:

    "Hey Topspeed...

    Unfortunantly i have to cancel my appointment for Monday August 10th... i have an emergency family situation..and I have to go out of town immediatly... i will call you guys when i get back to get this car finished!"

    Then 1 minute later this:

    "sorry, I hit enter accidentally

    My name is Wazzy *****
    678-357-7239"

    I spoke to him this morning and he assured me he was in Virginia at a funeral, and that he'd be dropping the car off with us Wednesday. He has since asked me by text about a few other things...

    Oh well, very entertaining anyway.
