It's actually because he used regular headlight fluid, not the synthetic.

Smartasses.

Hopefully I'll post a vid of the car boosting or something tonight.

It's good that you will have a free hand to hold the camera

Yes, yes it is Brandon.

Seriously... Take me up on that proposal.

1320 in the rain... lets see who can shift faster.

Sounds good, like I said, first one to 5th gear wins

Ian here.

Problem isn't turbo related. A good known 14b was put on and car still produces no boost. Removed oil return line and removed any possible restriction and nothing. Car still has no boost leaks. Tried to see if lower pipe was collapsing during any of this, and it doesnt. Lost for any ideas now.

I'm (Ryan) thinking of going with a solid LICP. Anyone have anything?

Wouldn't be ecu related would it, did you have it running alright with the link in it?

Maybe it is the torqued out spindle binder connected to the sludge pump, hate when that happens..

Hey ryan how are you checking for boost?? your brake boosting it right you know that auto's won't build boost in neutral right.

Give me some credit here man.

If you've read the post, I'm stutterbox'ing, and driving the car.

stock maf?

Yes, everything else is stock.

Well if it was a boost leak problem that big that it only reads 3psi the car would run like absolute crap as soon as you started boosting.

Which it sounds like it doesn't.

You carried the WORKING wastegate with the WORKING turbo over to this car correct?

Do you have some stupid exhaust leak at the head or manifold to turbo?

What about removing the stutter box and trying everything stock relating to boost?

Does your vac read properly? You sure it's not a kink in the gauge hose?

This is probably going to end up being a transmission problem.
You're just not getting enough load!
I mean what the hell else could it be? Everything else is either rudimentary or has been checked.

He did install the ipt kit, is it really possible that it could be causing this?

It's not a kink in the hose, my boost gauge is electronic.

Load factor shouldn't make a difference. Stutterbox with or without antilag nets me the same result.

The wastegate I am using is known working. Either way, it doesn't move.

I'm going to swap ECU's tonight, or check what I've done in link.

Honestly, it feels like a HUGE boost leak, yet my car doesn't go rich.

I may have a log around here somewhere of a quick little spin I did. My car doesn't go rich, indicating the MAF doesn't see that much airflow to start dumping fuel, which leads me to lean away from a boost leak.

I'll do a few things tonight and go from there.

I disagree. Load can have everything to do with it. If when you are driving the motor is somewhat freewheeling through the transmission, it's not gonna make much heat for the turbo.

So it feels like you're not making any power? That's what it can feel like when an auto trans doesn't work right.. It's not pulling and it's not trying to pull. See point A.

I HAVE BOOOOOOOOOSTTTT!!!!!



"Enable Non-95/96 Cam Angle Sensor" was fracking checked!!!!!!!!!!!1



All I did to the tranny was install the shift kit which was installed correctly as well as the end clutch kit (you can't mess this up, as easy as installing spark plugs), so I am confident it had nothing to do with the transmission. The torque converter, when slipping, will allow the revs to go up but the car not move. I'd also see an A/T Temp light come on in a hurry.

I love you all.

Ah PEBCAK, the destroyer of time and space!

Yes yes yes... well, it seems the previous owner of the ECU had it checked, and I must have pulled the battery terminals, and not reset it.

Bahh....

Way to go ya noob.

Congrats on getting it running properly man

Oh, it doesn't run properly by a long shot. I've got a ghetto fab setup for a lower IC pipe, so it should be running best by Tuesday night, just waiting on the pipe from Ziggy.

why is the valve timing off?
have you tried adjusting it?

Valve timing isn't "Off", but it is. No longer an issue though. If it's off, it's been off since I bought the car.

Hey now. It's not "off" by most people's standards, but it's off literally speaking.

I'm closing this damned thread, it's OVAH!!!!!!!!!

Valve timing is "off" by "people's standards".

It's either off, or it's not.

I believe you mentioned it's "off by half a tooth"? Can't be. You were either looking from an odd angle, or cylinder #1 wasn't EXACTLY at TDC.

Off, or off not. There is no try.

It probably wasn't at TDC, I was guestimating by where the crank pulley was on the timing belt cover, and God knows if that thing was on straight. I'm sure it's not off by a tooth, I'm meticulous about my timing belt, and I've done enough to know how to properly set it.

Bahh... what are we getting carried away here for? I fixedededed it!!!

And I couldn't be happier. I missed driving the ol' girl.

Even if you blew it up again the first day you got it on the road??

Sorry Ryan, had to.

Hahaha, eric

I didn't blow it up.... on purpose.

I did feel like Spy Hunter for a bit!
