Calgary,
I have this little issue with my newly built motor. Ever since I got it back about 8000kms ago my idle goes down a little when I engage the clutch. The clutch I have is an RPS turbo clutch 2500. I am just wondering if my symptums are that of a walking crank.
Here they are:
Idle drops about 350rpm when I put the clutch in (has slowly gotten worse, used to only be 100 rpm)
Clutch sometimes does not fully disengage when I am slowing down. If I hold the clutch to the floor for a couple of seconds it usually does, and also if I pump the clutch it works fine. I can tell when the clutch doesn't disengage cause: one: the rpms don't drop below 1000 and two: there is no pressure at the top of the clutch. ( I have replaced the slave and bled the system about 4000 kms ago and no fluid has been lost since then).
Clutch engages in different possisions about half of the time
I recently (yesterday) have a terrible noise comming from the somewhere around the area of the exhaust manifold but nothing apears to be leaking and boost is still stong. It also vibrates a little more than normal (keeping in mind that I have no balance shaft and solid motor mounts, no mounts are broken iether) It is sortof sounds like a diesel motor on start up, and around 2000 to 2500 rpm under any load. Not so much while I'm in neutral though.
Although this motor is fully built with 9 to 1 cr je forged pistons, rods, head bolts, a b16g turbo and a bunch of other crap, I don't really bag on it. Infact, I would say I drive it easier than before I had it done. Max boost has been 17psi which for this application is low. Never leaned out cause It runs pig rich since I do not yet have it fully tuned. Sorry for the long post but if anyone has any ideas, please let me know.
Thanks.
