Car Not Boosting In Neutral?

[Gazee]

ok guys ur gona think im stupid as most of u do already but i had a good look and i found one of my intercooler pipes has come off.. and that would explain what happened when i drove it that night as i was goin up in revs the nall off a sudden felt like a big release of pressure and turns out my piping has come off lol ...

YOU SONOFA... lol at least you solved your problem

[Wheezy]

HEHEHEHE....problemo solved....how far hanging off was it?

[rgr34]

car wont make boost in nuetral..... or in park for that matter if its auto.... if its boosting fine while on load (driving in gear) its fine.....

Yes your ceramic turbo lost its wheels...

Not his GT30 that he fitted 4 weeks ago... and he said before that theres no smoke... so i assume it can't be that severe.. well he hopes not anyways

I fitted my GT3076R 2 weeks ago next tuesday... im loving it.

Nice one matey, at least you worked it out. Bet when you saw that, you felt both relieved and really dumb at the same time

Do your intercooler pipes have a lip on them? if not, you may want to get one made, otherwise, everytime you hit high boost, it'll pop the pipe off

lol i felt more then dumb and it wasnt hanging to far off, just pulled the bumper off, went down to bunnings to buy a hose clamp and fitted it and all fixed, man was it a relief took it for a drive down the beach and everything is good !!

Thank god we helped you sort that problem out....

lol @ boost no work in neutral

hahaha golden

I see the problem-bunnings, they sell stuff to fix your garden, would you buy a plant from repco? Go to cbc bearings and get some superclamps or t-bolt clamps, they are under $5 ea unless you want them in full stainless.

hey those t clamps are overrated, i have the cheap supercheap shit skinny ones on mine and never blew a pipe yet with 22psi and 585rwhp. if u got the lips on the ends of the pipes then it cant blow off, simple

[T04GTR]

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

[Sammie]

Cruise generally you'll find that a narrow clamp will bite into the hose more because it has less area of the hose to compress - trade off of hose life because given enough force it can cut the hose clean through if the clamp is narrow enough .

Same old song - have a read of Corky Bells Maximum boost , he shows how some race apps have tags welded to the plumbing and some flexible eg wire means of resisting the pipe spreading through internal boost forces . Doing things this way means the clamps workload is reduced to sealing the hose and pipe/duct , not stopping the pipes bolwing appart .
