Morning Fellows! Hows it all going? Hopefully chucking the new brakes on my car on Saturday or Sunday, been ages since i have done any spanner work. Looking forward to it! Even if it is an easy job lol

Mangs,

Mangs

Playing COD

Busy day, so will get back to it.

As you were

WTF I pressurised my intake system again... all my piping seems fine. It seems like there's an air leak somewhere around the rear of the motor, on the turbo side, kind of around the back corner of the rocker cover. One of the screws there was half a turn loose so tightened that but realllllllly doubt that was the problem. I already packed up the compressor etc so I didn't check again but I doubt it did anything.

What other pipes run around the back of the motor that carry pressurised intake air??

Anyone have any opinions on this?

Yes I do

But I am looking at a BMW 535i, So if you have one of those it would be great!

well if you look at the cars i sell front on and they are in silhoutte then we would be close

It's F*cked.

:P

Sorry, pretty hard to have a guess at what's wrong over the interwebs.

The only hose that carries air towards the back of the motor should be the feed for the idle control motor... can't remember if this is pressurised or not, I think it comes of the J pipe though so I would guess yes.

My money is still on exhaust leak before the turbo or wastegate stuck open.

Andy,

Our garage is empty enough now, if you want to start to use your garage for your car instead of storage.

Cool, You around on saturday? Might get it towed then? PM me your adress and I will start ringing towies!

I thought wastegate stuck open as well. But then again I don't have a big idea of this sorta thing.

Just realised new sau layout is mobile friendly. Yay.

Anyone have any opinions on this?

Tappet cover gaskets will leak like a bitch when thos screws get loose (Which they always are) Tighten all the screws and go from there. My R33 has lots of leaks from that area and when i fixed it all up the car was much better behaved, Of course your gasket may be rooted too but try tightening everything first

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
