^^ why what happened??? did YOU touch it or something??


hehehe


good to hear, now get coils

 

lol, good thing i didn't get that glowshift gauge from the fs forum!

 

ok well, I uninstalled it, the boost now goes up to 7......but it still varies insanely

so my guess is that I fucked the wastegate, or my coils......or something

 

what is the boost source? use the vfad nipple.

 

I am using the Vfad nipple

 

It's unlikely that you fu*Ked the wastegate It's quite difficult even for you


You need to get a Boost gauge, and a WBo2 .....

 

I use my laptop as a boost gauge

 

You still need a wideband O2 sensor, Taj, and some tuning. My guess is you're running the base map right now, which is really conservative and can still potentially do harm to your motor. I would stay out of boost until you get some professional tuning and a WB02

 

I use my desktop as a window to the world.

 

I understand, I will try to stay out of boost

not that there is any left..........like seriously, there isn't any leak, and still, the turbo just doesn't spool up no more

sigh, that vaccuum line failed, I'll need to jack up the car tomorrow again and replace that vaccuum line

my motor is fine for now (compression good) the coils are ok, the sparkplugs aren't so good

I'm using the FD plugs that Scott sells on his website (as a matter of fact, I bought it from him) and one, if not two of them, are busted, since I can hear the leadings going fine (the first spark) but the second one I can hear a *tack* tack* *tack*

now, with a blown rotor, I figured the sould would be very wierd, but I never heard one before on an rx8

if it's anything like my old FD, it wouldn't whine anymore, but would be a highly disturbing clank at idle

those of you who had blown motor please tell me, in some type of word, how it sounds like

 

Blown motors have all varying degrees of weird sounds. When mine blew, it just felt sluggish and didn't make any abnormal sounds.

Other times you can hear odd metallic sounds, like scraping. The most common is poor idle vacuum (under 16 inches without the A/C on or any load) and a sound similar to a big tractor, sometimes lots of vibration through the shifter.

 

no vibration, -19mm HG idle, -17 sometimes

 

taja.

mr wafer has a hymee scan tool for sale.. you might invest in it!!

beers

 

well,

that means you likely dont have a blown motor..

but that does not mean you dont have a leak.. think for a second, you might have a connection that fails under boost??

beers

 

tmr I will go get a jack (my stock jack got owned when my friend with an sr20 backed up over it)

and I will most likely replace the wastegate actuater vacuum line, because it is bent, and this is most likely causing it....same symptom as my friend's SR 20

I will also look into the charge tube that connects the turbo to the intercooler, cus that might have been knocked by the wheen hub
