What The f**k Is Wrong?

[craig R33]

nope, wasnt it..... well, it idles a little bit better, but still has a massivly loud

boost leak.....

im bout to have a look at the intercooler piping behind the front bar.

this is better than day time telivision for all you mofo's aint it!

you love it.

[craig R33]

its definately still got a vac leak,

and the boost leak sounds like a scremer....

think i may have to bend over and cop it sweet from morpowa

[RubyRS4]

Its a simple process of elimination ... fix all the obvious points, and eventually you'll find the problem.

It will also save you some labour time with the mechanics when you can tell them what the problem is not.

[ted180]

so did you try plugging that up? or resealing it?

what exhaust do you have?

[craig R33]

yeah, ther is a pipe that goes from the front of the plennum, to the left cam cover,

the plug is making a hissing sound, and upon further inspection, the plug going inot the cam cover is broken..

still dosnt fix the boost leak though..thats my main concern atm

maybe it is a rooted turbo

[craig R33]

will buy some silicon or somethin tomoz

as for exhaust, 3'', one peice front dump, decat, two hks mufflers.

[ted180]

well i would fix that leak in the cam cover before i do anything else.

[nisskid]

nope, wasnt it..... well, it idles a little bit better, but still has a massivly loud

boost leak.....

if it's so loud cant u just chuck ur head in the engine bay and listen for it? get someone in the car loading up the engine etc.

[craig R33]

i tried that, it onlly does it when on boost driving.....

doesnt do it free revving in the driveway from what i can hear.

fixed up the hose to the cam cover, but still idle shit and

blolwing shit loads of smoke now.

[ted180]

if it only does it on boost then i figure it must be turbo?

[ted180]

although have you checked your boost controller?

my old 180 blew alot of smoke once, it was because a breather hose on the rocker cover crimped itself, which stopped it from breathing, and resulted in a heap of smoke.

[craig R33]

thats what i is thinkin now.

ill have to wait and see what morpowa says on thursday,

as long as they find the vac leak so i can still go to kadina

[craig R33]

yeah, all is good as far as i can see....

it still does it on low boost so its not overboosting

[craig R33]

well heres what i replaced today

oil catch can hoses (blue silicon heater hose)

throttle body/cross over pipe joiner

top radiator hose

took the mesh out of afm

and thats it.

every thing else went back on as it come off

[dangerman4]

i have offered you the solution yet u still refuse to help yourself

why?

if you dont have a compressor drive to the servo and do it there.

turn your car off, open the bonnet, undo your afm install freezer bag and then reinstall afm

it takes 2 minutes and by doing this test it will act as if your car is on boost and therefor expand the hoses enough that they will piss out air.

without your car running it is easy as to hear if and where you have a leek.

2 minutes and then you can tell everyone where the leek was.

[Carbon 34]

well it does sound like your leaking air, if its on the wrong side of the AFM it can do lots of bad things, like put in too much fuel. the AFM is really easy to break. and if you have a oiled pod the oil can foul the little wire inside it, and cause havok. if you took out the mesh in afm i suss you might have accidentaly hit the wire. have you looked inside the AFM to see if its still ok? really fine wire you might need a torch to see it.

one thing you might try is a squirt bottle full of soapy water , if the car runs spray it around the gaskets/joints while idling, you will notice the engine will fluctuate in RPM or die if you hit a leak, just dont spray it into anything electrical or spark plugs or AFM intake. the soapy water will sometimes blow bubbles when it finds air leaking . a vacuum cleaner hose is good to hear air leaks as well, just hold it to your ear and move it carefully around the bay when u hit the leak it will be loud as.

the fuel pressure regulator has a vacumm type hose on it if you pinch it with your fingers slightly when running the engine should change the idle speed a bit. (not sure about your regulator model)

are you sure the cross over on the throttle body is sealed up good with clamps, if not that can cause your symtoms

is the smoke black or blue, white? i thought you said black. does the motor sound like its miss firing at idle or 3-4k?

if its a vacuum leak it normally runs fast or slow on idle unless its in one of the power curcuits or AFM

what part of town do you live in im off work this week and if it south i can pop over for a look ?

let me know

cheers hope u get it sorted

[Damo_R34]

fecked turbo would cause white smoke, correct?

i agree have you tried this trick, i think both of us think your AFM is confused...lol

correct Damo

have u asked "MR FIX IT" Ryan yet Crairg????

Damo

black smoke is too much fuel or fuel ratio stuffed

white is blown head gasket=water in combustion or even a bad seal in a water cooled turbo

Blue is oil in combustion process, turbo seal, rings, valves, or even headgaskets if blown in the right spot
