dannyhack Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Just bought a glanza v the other day and everything is perfect apart from, the earth cable on the boost controller kept coming free from the headunit as it was just stuck on with tape.I then earthed it correctly, then took it for a spin and everything was working ok.Now when i do hit the turbo, it creeps up. It was set on 0.85 bar then it crept to 0.91 now its up to 0.98 and i havnt tried to reset it.....I'm new to this so any help would be awesome, but i may not understand what you mean lol. So if you could put it as basic as possible that would be cool It was checked over before i bought it and everything was fine with the turbo etc, so i cant see what would be causing this?Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daz gt turbz Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 it boost creep mate, starlets are buggers for it, use the search tool on here for it, there is endless info on it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dannyhack Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 is it a quick fix do you know mate, i dont have alot of knowledge on the glanza's so im getting a little worried Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daz gt turbz Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 porting the wastegate on the turbo is the most common way i think, luckily ive never had a major isssue with it so not to clued up on the exact ways of how to fix it but if you do the search there is loads of info!

nazzurro19 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 best way is to go externally wastegate so youd need a manifold to suit etc a external wastegate n all that lot i just picked up one for £450 or if ya know it creeps , set ya controller to say 0.7 then it will creep to 0.8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dannyhack Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 will it not keep creeping up though?what is porting of the wastegate aswell? sorry about all the questions first turbo car lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dannyhack Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 Im running a td04 turbo and it doesnt need porting?What could be the problem?Loose connection somewhere? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nazzurro19 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 basically the internal part of the turbo like the flap opens n closes to let pressure though, when it cracks more pressure then u want is let trough so you weld that flap shut n go for an external wastegate - this then controls the boost alot better Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MARC MOSS Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 It's a ct9 problem that's why mate td04's don't have that prob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
churcherj Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 hello lads this was my old starlet! doesnt need to run an external wastegate setup nor does he need to port the td04 wastegate to run 0.9 bar! the internal setup is more than adequate at this boost. all he needs to do is adjust the settings on the boost controller to adjust the gain features to stop it spiking.danny dont panic you dont need to change to an external setup on a TD04 running this low boost!

churcherj Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 It's a ct9 problem that's why mate td04's don't have that probexactly, can people stop giving this lad bad advice! TD04 wastegate doesnt need porting, its size can easily control the flow of exhaust gases and is big enough to control the boost internally, particularly at 0.9 bar, ive seen people run 1.4 bar on internal setups. the issue is with the boost controller for some reason creeping, which i think is down to the gain setting being too high on it, although i never had this issue myself and always held 0.92 bar spot on Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dannyhack Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 sweeeeet ok mate just pm me those settings and i will give it a go Quote Link to post Share on other sites
