re-installed turbo = failed read ###

[Alex Bland]

So. After i re-installed everything I took it out for a test drive... ran fine.. then when it got all wormed up and hot. it bogged down. it was spooling the turbo to 7psi and the rps would not go above 2k and then it just died it if droped below 1k rpms. it was just slamming back and forth. someone told me that there might have been that the temp in radiator had a air bubble. and also when the turbo spooled up above 7psi it would sound like a peice of paper was in the way of something.

bad battire i know that dont know if it may have helped the problem.

and the hose that goes from the air filter to the bov then to the block....the one from bov

to block was not connected guess i just missed it

ask questions be nice on grammer and spelling ###

Oh also when i first started it it has been smokeing white (just water) i think thats from sitting there and getting a bunch of water in the engine when the turbo was off not sure tho.

Did you prime the turbo?

 

[Alex Bland]

prime?

 

[Alex Bland]

like we put good oil in the turbo as we were rebuilding it but thats all.

 

[Alex Bland]

we cranked the car 5-7 times befor starting we didnt see if there was oil coming thew the lines or anything

no bumping your posts.

as for the air bubble, take your coolent cap off, and let it get to operating temp, that should get rid of the airbubble.

do a boostleak test, and it that all fails, check your timing.

 

[Alex Bland]

Sorry for bumping post did not know that was a rule. anyway. im chargeing my battire right now and im going to start it like you said let it warm upa nd put the cap on do you think this may have been the problem?

 

[Alex Bland]

is there a thread on how to do a boost leak test?

 

[Alex Bland]

Should i also do a compression test or would that not be part of the problem?
