The flap is completely stuck, it wont move at all in either direction. Would this have affected the wastegate flap and made it jam or something?..it's probably wedged against the elbow.djpkins wrote:Slacken off your downpipe at the turbo end.
Do I not need to take the downpipe off all the way then? Its an aftermarket downpipe, i`m assuming its more likely to get stuck against them. the inside where it's snagged...but if it's not, then the wastegate just blew open too much cos the actuator rod wasn't attached...but you should try slackening the easier to get to ones first just incase it gives you enough play...fks sake though man...don't bend the DP flange...it will blow forever.djpkins wrote:If the DP is a new one then I would skim a wee bit off
Managed to get away with just taking off the top bolts in the downpipe. Freed up the wastegate and got the actuator arm back on. But I could NOT get the circlip back on for love nor money. Then managed to drop and lose it!! Grrrr! God knows easy one of those are to pick up. Wonder if Toyota stock them?..you need the circlip or it will come apart...the O2 sensors are a plenty on here but expesivo from Mr T...sucker...lol...shaped a bit like a capital B...has worked fine so far....rev1/2 are closed loop and it only affects tickover...well...it's usable, may be a bit rich.djpkins wrote:wounder.
I snapped my circlip when doing the turbo swap and ended up using a sort of spring/split pin type thing that was in my toolbox.
It will run fine without the O2 sensor.
So if I just bolted it back in it should be ok? Or is it only a temporary thing?..the cars all seem to misfire a bit when on boost but essentially it's not going to damage the engine if it runs a bit rich, It almost seems to be akin to the "offside rule" ... the rev1/2 lambda question...no body seems to reall yknow the answer...lol...do you have enough of the wire to connect the pieces?... if your getting P'ed of with somthing ... go and have a cup of tea and a smoke (if that way) come back and next time you probly wont have pinged of your c clipdjpkins wrote:I've read more than one thread involving broken lambda wires and similar.
I can reconnect it to the wire now, but obviously it will be open to the heat from the downpipe. I suppose I could wrap it up in electrical tape and then some heat resistant tape or something??vinnyninja wrote:moral to the story is
It was trying to put it back in. Fookin nightmare. This time i`ll buy 10 just in case
