Hey guys. I recently put a 3inch dump pipe on my r32. After installing it i took it for a spin. It felt okay. Then i came to a stop and the car revved to 2k. I tried to accelerate but it wouldnt let me go above 2k. It stalled a few times also.

1 of the nuts that connect the dump to the turbo wasnt tightened all the way because i couldnt get to it. Can this be my problem?

No

If a bolt has come loose the worst case scenario will be an exhaust leal. As it is after the turbine there is no power loss from this. I'd expect noise and possibly a tiny tiny power gain from an exhaust leak post turbo if anything

Id say youve disturbed something while doing the dump pipe. Check all plugs and pipes in the area

just search your symptoms, i couldn't even begin to explain how many times this comes up.

 

it has nothing to do with your dump but something else you have affected as said.

i just put 2000 rpm into the search, here are 10 of the 1000 which came up.

if you want another 789674653 threads search afm or cas or missfire or limp mode ect

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No one knows exactly what is wrong with your car. Stop obsessing about the dump - it is entirely possible that a fault has developed in your car that has nothing to do with your dump. Start reading some of the links that Glynn has kindly provided.

to simplify the subject, a 2000rmp issue is a redflag for very common issues with RB engines. it WILL be the usual suspects. these are very easy to check and fix. the same answers will have arisen in any thread with a 2000rpm missfire/ hesitation.

 

have a read in the threads about what they found how they found them and how they fixed it.

 

when i had the issue the solder inside the afm plug had deteriorated, going over bumps gave me my issue, they could have dried ages ago over time and you dislodged it when you took the dump off. check the plugs, maby resolder them... there is a link somewhere... i know i posted one when i hit the issue.

but there is nothing the dump can do within reason to cause the issue your having now. dont look for unicorns when you find horse poo,

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
