Car Not Boosting In Neutral?

[Sammie]

hey guys not long ago my clutch has been getting bad, and as i was driving it changing from 2nd - 3rd it felt like a a big slip ever since then my car cant seem to boost? i tried it before reving it in neautral and cant boost at all ? any ideas on whats happening ?

cheers sam

[WogsRus]

a turbo requires load to boost, it is a pressure diferential device, hence if you are in neutral, and no load on the engine for the turbo to work agains, you will not create any boost.

ah anychance putting that in simpler english lol ?

[CEF11E]

boost no work in neutral

[Sammie]

lol because my clutch is rooted or ? i mean this will sound dumb before this incident i could rev my car ? and let off and the blow off wil release now when i rev it can only go to like 4k revs and boost doesnt even go above 0

hmmmm...

[Guilt-Toy]

if you think your car should boost when its not in gear then you need to take your turbo off

[Sammie]

maybe im explaining this rong, all i know is that there sumfin aint right here ..

[Wheezy]

LOL @ THIS THREAD......another earlier starter for the worst thread of the year!!!!!!!!!

[MANWHORE]

nah, guilt toy, he is right. When my car had the stock turbo, if you floor it in neutral

like up to 5k rpm and release it, the bov would sound pretty loud.

Maybe your turbo is rooted

[HR32_GTS-T]

are you sure your car is turbo'd. hehe jks

how many other ppls cars come onto boost while there car is stationary.

mine doesnt.

thats wat i mean manwhre i just got a brandnew turbo fitted... , if the turbo is rooted wouldnt i of noticed at the time ? white smoke puffin out or ?

[Sammie]

yea guys this is serious can u stop with the stupid comments ?

[MANWHORE]

well, what is the turbo you got fitted?

if it's a bigger one/highflow, it won'nt do it anymore because it takes longer to spool.

hr32 - the r ugly poos don't do it, beause of the 2L. can't spool the turbo in neutral

[Guilt-Toy]

you will make hardly any boost when free reving - you can spool enough to make it sound like there is lots of boost in there but really there is stuff all - i have never really seen it go past 1 - 3psi and thats giving it some really hard revs

sammie - rev it hard - i mean floor it all of a sudden untill it gets to 6000rpm let go of the throttle then you will hear the turbo

[MANWHORE]

Is it necessary for it to blow off in neutral though? if it doesn't have any problems with driving, like if it's quick, if she fangs, chirps seconds and does sik burnouts, then it's fine?

[MANWHORE]

yeah, that's what I meant guilt toy. I know it only just tips into positive pressure and makes a noise, but i think sam is saying it deosn't make any noise at all.

yeah, you really just plant your foot down to the bottom up to like 6-7 k rpm then release

[Sammie]

i gota gt30 internaly gated fitted, say a week ago before wat happened i could rev it in neutral and it was fine even when normal driving i cant hit boost at all and struggles to get to like 3-4 thousand revs. im trying to think if its the clutch or maybe i have a bigger problem ..
