Bussey

What spring do you have in it?

The only thing that is controlling boost is the wastegate, I reckon it's your boost controller.

It's 0.65 bar, was new 2 months ago.

Currently it won't boost past 0.5, hence why the screamer isn't opening up

Surely if the wastegate wont open you'd be getting over boost?

You would think so!

obviously the boost is bleeding off somewhere

small crack appearing in diaframe from gate i think ??

Wastegattes been fully rebuilt and checked by Owens mate

we had a external wastegate (that was genuine) that needed piped up in a way that seemed incorrect to allow it to make boost.

was a fella on here with a red glanza V

But it worked fine before mate, then the boost just suddenly crept down, literally no reason behind it either!

Mesh can restrict it or have you removed any form of filter to eliminate that

No filter is currently on the car mate

Check airfilter isnt blocked. I had a problem where turbo wouldnt boost. Tried everything, turned out filter was blocked

It currently hasn't got one on mate, thanks though

Cheers everyone

Car lasted 4 days before another problem had cropped up.

She won't boost over 0.5 bar and the external wastegate won't open up.

So far, waste gate has been rebuilt with genuine new diaphram and seats all checked. All new vaccum lines, turbo removed and checked over, the whole pressure system smoke checked. Boost solenoid checked over and works fine.

So yeah, at the moment it has myself and some very clued up people extremely confused.

In the mean time new exhaust and some pictures of when she was last out about 2 weeks ago.

Centre silencer is now gone. The only silencer in the system is now the one pictured one the left, and that's at the rear.

Love this, sick of seeing huge turbos on starlets like!!

I get that a bigger turbo gives you a higher scope for power but its all about drivability imo.

Bang on mate !

This setup feels like a CT9 with a massive kick up the ass, I love it

Where did you get it done bussey ?

Redline mate

Glad your happy man..

Did always feel the 28 was a tad large..

keep it matey..

See you around soon

Cheers mate, catch you soon

yes i get it i am on a stock ish engine at 1.1/1.2bar its so much more driveable then a tdo4 round town tdhs is faster ha ha

im happy the turbo is suiting you well just perfectly sized

Cheers matey

238 ??? something not right there i would expect more but still 1.4bar under 3500rpm is very good going torque torque

Nope everything's fine from what I'm told, no smoke, no boost leaks,

Probably due to the massively oversized inlet, or the small air filter.

Either way I'm mega happy with it, just what I'm after, so drivable and still quick enough in a straight line.

Not chasing figures

238.8bhp at 1.4 bar.

Full boost at just under 3500 rpm.

.

Is that a motorbike airfilter ? Looks smart

Im not sure mate, I had to look through a lot listings until I found a 54mm filter that had the dimensions to fit in the space I have avalvible

looking good bussey

make sure it slopes down a bit the oil return as its a long section

It does mate, took me a while to get it right last night

haha sometimes you need abit of jinx to make things work

Anything I jinx on this car usually breaks....

Sorted out my oil return last night, before it had a big kink in the middle where it was angled to suit my 28, and obviusly that would have caused the oil not to flow freely back into the sump.

So I sorted that with some stainless tube

Also my sump was annoying me, looked a bit grotty, so I cleaned it up and got the heat resistant metal paint on it.

Yeah bwoi

Forward facing ............ daddy likes

Haha cheers

Just waiting on a new oil line, then it's time to start her up on the TF.

Also had a goodspend up on some detailing stuff at Goodwood. I'll let the pictures do the talking.

Will be running this week

Mint setup

It's not running yet, please don't jinx it haha

happy days what boost you going to map to bussey ??

On the forester forums most seem to think 1.4 bar is the limit mate, so I'm going to stick with that for the moment

TF is on, along with all freshly skimmed flanges on my manifold/wastegate, new gaskets, and the new screamer.

Just need to order a new joiner for the intercooler piping, sort my oil feed, and sort an air filter then she'll be running and off to get mapped.....AGAIN

Love it

Phil

Thanks mate

Screamer all done.

Was zero room on the EWG side thanks to the turbo position/oil filter sandwich plate and senders.

So we had to get creative, all sorted though

He's too busy driving boats around and going gym to worry about the starlet now

You all about that rota lyfe now m9?

Enkei life soon mate, then the ssr's are going to be my bomb proof track wheels
