What The f**k Is Wrong?

[craig R33]

As most of you a prob aware by now, my 33 started a boost leak on kellies last cruise,

was thought to be the gasket between the inlet manifold and the turbo,

after much f**king around, snapping studs, and having to go as far as taking the whole turbo out,

i put it all back together over last night and this afternoon,

and the verdict ITS STILL f**kING DOING IT!

and to add fuel to the fire, its blowing a little clack smoke (never used to)

and runs/idles like shit!

im so over this f**king thing,

but, any ideas on whats going on?

if not, ill be taking it to a workshop and let them rape me in the ass,

im not pulling the kent apart again

[rad100]

damn craig...

have u made sure u bolted it all back tight? did u seal the gasket up with some of that goo shit?

just go over everything again as u may have left something loose?

spring in ur bov isnt cactus is it? Intake piping, silicone joiners?

everthing is tight, most of the joiners are brand new....

im tempted just to drive it to morpowa and tell em i dont want it back till its sorted...

i just dont wanna miss out on kadina on saturday....

cars....why do we bother?

Im sure you probably have but, have you made sure all your silicon and rubber hoses for the piping are all in good condition when i first bought my car it had a boost leak because a 90 degree rubber elbow for the IC piping had a crack in it.

black smoke means you have a fuel problem, like too much of it. or a vacuum leak stuffing up the air fuel ratio.

could be a hose loose , a fuel regulator stuffed(pretty common on the older skylines) or even a jammed fuel injector, leaking fuel into cyl.

are u sure you didnt forget to plug in a vacuum line or maybe crimped it somehow?

does it run at higher rpm out of gear or stumble bad? under load does it run good or stumble bad?

kinda hard to troubleshoot without see it in person but hope this helps the hunt

[ted180]

have you tried seeing what kind of car it is? if its a skyline then that might be the problem..

[craig R33]

tim f**k off not in the mood.

yes troy it goes to stall when i back off the pedal, will go double check that i put all the lines on.

[dangerman4]

pull your afm off put a freezer bag over it and then reinstall it.

then pump some compressed air into your vacum line to your fuel reg and listen for where the air is coming from.

doing this will presurise your whole engine and every vac and pressure hose on the car.

takes 2 minutes and prob solved.

Should of save the hassle and the heartache and got the car to a workshop earlier on I've learnt not to bother and waste my time if I'm not 100% sure what to do/what the problem is haha

[craig R33]

and exactly where is that? i have malpassi fuel press. reg.

i think i can hear a leak, but all lines are on.....

got me stumped

[nisskid]

check things like boost controller/vacuum line going from elbow to actuator, vacuum line to boost gauge off the plennum, aftermarket or stock, also other vacuum lines off the plennum.

You know, it'd prob be something so simple and obvious in the end!

Do as Dangerman says and then start at the filter and work your way thru slowly.

Could it also simply be that you've shagged the turbo?

na, turbo LOOKED to be in good condition.

will try and find, the prob my self, if not, its booked into morpowa thurs

i cant be f**ked with it any more.

[craig R33]

just noticed the induction pipe to the inlet of the turbo is loos, i can move it back and forth, could this be it??

i hope so, cos i gotta take a lot of shit off to get to it

[ted180]

that is possibly the problem, if its a decent leak then it will be sucking in unmetred air.

[Damo_R34]

That could definately be the problem. Even if it wasnt a problem now, if you left it, it would become a problem.

[rad100]

problem found? coz that sounds it!
