Turbo Problem I have (MAYBE)

[nando]

and he probably cracked his head because...

you need EMS to run that properly. at the very least least, a turbo chip from TCD. Nobody who turbos their E30 ever sticks to the stock ECU for very long - it can't measure airflow above atmospheric pressure so the best you can do is fool it.

stock Motronic + turbo = disaster waiting to happen

[Fidhle007]

Couldn't handle the pressure.

Lol.


I crack myself up, now where's my beer gone to?

[Aptyp]

pretty...

[e30this]

yeah like months ago.
Ended up cracking the cylinder head. and it was mixing water and coolant.

Looks like this now..

[Aptyp]

wait what? he took everything off? why?

[e30this]

this setup has been parted out and now he has a stock m20

What about that massive vacuum leak you have on the side of your throttle body? Unless you have that epoxied up or something it may cause a little problem.

I think if he tried to add an aftermarket ECU at this time, when there is already something going wrong, would be disastrous.

You should re-check all the vacuum lines and sensors to make sure they're all hooked up. It sounds like a vacuum problem.

I think there should be a restrictor in the vacuum line to the fmu

Are you running an "ebay turbo" or just the manifold, ic, tubing etc? The set up looks good! I hope you get it up and running properly soon.

ebay turbo,manifold,IC,FMU, everything. i might not have it running for awhile now i will be taking the car off the road. goin to try something else.

[ShowStopper]

did you run this motor N/A before you put it in? Are you sure the AFM is good and that the timing is good?

no i didnt run it before i put the turbo on, the timing is perfect, and the afm i adjusted. she runs a lot better now with the 02 sensors but something is still off.

you need to adjust the AFM to deal with the larger injectors.

It should run totally normal at idle even with the turbo on.

we tried adjusting the AFM and nothing happened.
