Thank You I have been looking everywhere to figure it out. Im still debating if I want to go the route of this turbo because it was given to me with most if not all supporting mods.
I got a turbo from a friend and it's HUGE the name plate is missing but everytime I look up the numbers on it it comes up with a t25 or t28 but this is maybe 4 times as big as a t25 so I'm not sure the numbers on the coldside are garret a/r .80 m-24 turbo
1844-17R
I could be just dumb but I'm...
The rebuild kits are decently cheap for the 420a and the engine can be rebuilt in a short amount of time. I would first pull the motor out and asses the damages. If it looks to be in good condition look into a machine shop to maybe hone/bore out the cylinder walls.
Depending on the money you...
Your oil cap could be leaking or not tight. But most likely it is your PCV valve. I had a similar problem earlier this month and found it to be a faulty pcv valve. You can remove it and check it by blowing air into it. They tend not to seal well even if new.
Another less likely thing could be...
What was your boost gauge reading? This could mean faulty boost controller or boost leak at higher boost. Bust most likely a boost leak.
I noticed from your last picture that there was a filter on your intake. Where is your GM maf sensor located and are you venting your BOV to the atmosphere...
I saw you were in beloit. When I was at LKQ in Rockford last week there was an eclipse there that had most of the transmission still attached looked to be in decent condition. Might be able to find it there. If you're looking for a quick or temp junk yard fix.
Try pressurizing it at 20-30psi to account for boost spike. I know a rule of thumb is double what you intend to do for stock boost I'm unsure though though on more boost. But it sounds like you're hitting boost leak or of fuel cut. When it gets to higher rpms can you pass to redline if you gas...
Also is the tune completely gone because you need to compensate for injectors. Your settings should be global -47% dead time 330 for fuel injector clinic injectors should get you somewhere close to what you need though. Double check the end tuning website for more info...
Do you have a check engine light?
What PSI did you do a boost leak test at? And did you pressurize the system or did you just do the soapy water while running?
Also do you have v2 but using the V3 program?
If you must do it with the head on find a way to block debree falling into the firing chamber. In the past I've used a blue shop town to catch most of the shavings but it is far from a perfect method. Best of luck though to you eaither way.
You will just need to replace the insert and the sparkplugs. I take it you mean the cylinder head threads are the damaged ones? If you have the resources remove the head so nothing gets into the engine. If in a pinch you could try and block off the cylinder with a cloth or a napkin though I...
Not sure if this is any help but I had a problem when I was messing with a friends car to get some logs his ecu was locked. Try downloading the unlcocker and see if it can help you out. The old site is down but this is a mirror link i used. http://evoecu.logic.net/mirror/svn/tools/MitsuLogger/...
I have helped a friend do this once. Did you make sure to cut the wire from the TCU and ground the other end? I can not remember what it is off hand but ill look for it and see if i can find it. That was the problem we had for the reverse lights.
