Offroad-Express

[quote="sldwys"]Hey all - I have searched and searched again and everything i have found I have tried ... but nothing seems to fix my problem.
The problem I am having is... Lack of power after 2/3 gear.
Manual 5 speed btw.
Turbo boosts at 9psi with 3" exhaust, Snorkel, wastegate washer mod.
Green light on for turbo, Never goes red.
Have checked all the air lines and all seems fine, Fuel filter been replaced.
Red VSV valve has a broken air nipple off it, And theres a steel pipe by the turbo thats open to atmo.
After some reading I found the Boost compensator is supposed to be hooked up to the same air feed as the Turbo pressure switch by the airbox. So I done this at it seems to of gotten... better but not great yet. although upon doing this the truck is smoking alot more than it was before so maybe over fuelling now ? 4 and 5 gear are still... underfuelled from the feeling.
Alot of the airlines in the enging bay are not where they should be from standard... But even from looking at the airline diagrams I cant figure out what is supposed to go where and how can i bypass the broken VSV valve ?
Please help... I am almost at the end of my tether!

thanks.

pull ya cambelt covers off and check your cambelt , cam and injector pump timing?

Easy fix


Sorry had to say it lol

check /might as well remove egr whilst checking operation
check / remove any shut down butterflies
check IP getting boost sensor setting - even thou gauge is reading boost if IP pump isnt getting signal wont add fuel
if all else fails park it outside in chchc an insurance will get ya a nice new one!
use links to aus surf forums, terry syd/ nev love answerting the same questiosn over an over so might as well hit them up with a thread!

didnt know they went that fast

probably cause you didn't get the lasers out an measure the suspension geometry first, then redesign in solid works, just over a quiet years worth of weekends at home............

what size rubber is on it? and diff ratios? maybe that poor wee 2L just CANT go any faster??

Do a comp and leak down test

what size tyres are you running and what sort of load have you got in the wagon?? my 2lt is ok acceleration and that with no load and 235's but soon as i put the 31' mudders and fill up to go away on a trip the poor old girl does the same
