were u able to find the leaky ose prob? i wish i lived near you id have it , but i dnt . Nope still didnt. Its funny because i drove the car a few days ago and the boost came on full. Its something silly stopping it from boosting all the way. Boost comes on sweet at 2800-3000 rpm and pulls strong b...
Thanks guys for the reply. Yes it need a few pennies spent to fix the small little bits which isnt the problem. I would do it my self but just have not got the time at all. TBH the car has just been standing and i hardly drive it any more. As for the price i have under priced it slightly so that a n...
Hi guys, Im selling my MR2 Turbo and i need it gone to a new home asap since im moving my self in the next 2 weeks. Its a Rev2 Turbo with 60,000 miles on the clock. I bought it last year and have had it serviced twice after every 5000km's. MOT and tax for a few more months on it. Specs: 1993 (K reg)...
lol thanks JeffD. i need to get the car on a ramp and sort these noises out. The exhaust which weighs like 10 tons (HKS turbo) is loose to which may be catching into something.
Anyway thanks mate
thanks guys for the useful info. I will check the car when i got some time. Honestly this cars got issues. I fix one thing and another problem comes out of no where :shock: . At times while driving normally i get this "odd" noise from the exhaust part of a car. Pretty boomy (seems like a m...
LOL Junk meaning the type of thing in the catalytic convertor. Ive got the HKS turbo exhaust , which i quiet so might have this stuff inside it to reduce noise. Yes ive done all error codes about 10 times and reset the ecu and also disconected the batt for 10 mins. Nothing works. Thanks guys :thumle...
Hi guys, This boost nightmare still is not over and has been bugging me since the past 2 months now. I removed all the parts from my car exhaust,decat, and even after replacing the turbo the problem still existed. Now WOT the cars boost speedo gauge jumps up fast half way and at higher revs struggle...
After a long day in Harprnden where i left my car fron 7:30 to 4p.m. at Pan Auto there diagnostic result was: " Seems like air leak from the intercooler" The guy there said there could be a small hole in the intercooler which is causing boost to build up only after 4k rpm. What would be yo...
Hmmm Well today I completely removed the avcr. I returned the stock pipe going from the turbo to the actuator and removed the pressure pipe from the avcr sensor. So now the solenoid is completely out of the car. Only the unit was in but would that effect anything as only the wires are left connected...
Sounds to me like you're just running off stock boost control, esp if disconnecing the ebc wire made no difference. The extra length in your new hoses to the ebc would explain the extra lag compared to a completely stock setup. Has either garage tried to set up your ebc again properly? When you cha...
Hang on a minute! You say the turbo was fine before the event, so how can you have suddenly developed a wastegate clearance issue? After the event you say the turbo was boosting fine after 4.5k revs, so why on earth would you need to replace the turbo? If I've understood correctly, I hope an affili...
UPDATE: Since my previous post the following has been done. A new turbo has been put in. Which means the decat and pipes were all taken off. The bov was replaced with another one. The BC was disconnected and just to make sure we also replaced the induction kit temporarily. However after putting in t...
