can someone help me out here i have a r32 with minor mods, but the weird thing is that the turbo doesnt start to spool until 3 to 3.5 grand and hits full boost at around 5grand, wat does this mean is it not standard turbo or is it fu%^ed.

any help will be appreciated.

Joel.

This will sound weird but my r33 was doing the same thing and it turned out to be my fuel pump so i put a walbro in tank one in and it is fine now. Im not sure why the boost was coming on late all i no is that the new pump fixed the problem.

"""has the car been feeling sluggish? is it noisier at all when under boost?

you may have a slight leak in an intercooler/inlet pipe? checked all the clamps?""" (Azzurra)

no not slugish at all. it does seem to sound a little noisy i'll check the clamps...

well it has an aftermarket fuel pump an gtr injectors, an a malpassi fuel pressure regulator, but iv also noticed it only does it sometimes. Also Is there anyway to tell it the turbo has been high flowed-(rebuilt) without removing the turbo its self.

cause iv tested it on 12psi boost with out a FMIC an it runs perfect, iv been told not to run more then 10psi without a FMIC. i dont kno wats been done to it personally. also has a high flow cat an 3" system.

Check to make sure the wastegate actuator is not staying open. If it sticks or is getting stuck on something then it will be bypassing the exhaust gasses around the turbine. The easiest way to test this device is with a radiator pressure tester. Use it to pump pressure into the housing and confirm that the pressure it opens at is equal to the factory specs. If check is ok remove the mounting point where the actuator connects to the wastegate arm. There should be a small circlip. Use a pick or small screwdriver to remove it but be careful not to lose it. Check to make sure the arm moves freely and can open and close fully without interuption.

Check to see how easily the arm moves back and forth in the diaphragm. It should be difficult to move.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
