Ollieh17 Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 (edited) Not sure if its just me or actually a problem. As soon as i get to 5krpm the car feels like its run out of puff and slows down, up to that point its quick and builds boost fast. I have a glanza with:>CT9 turbo running 0.7bar HKS adjustable actuator>Standard mani>decat >jpreformance 2.5 stainless catback system>ARC topmount>Dumpvalve blanking plate Should also mention after fitting the decat there was a slight leak from the lambda. The problem seems to have started since fitting the decat. Edited October 18, 2013 by Ollieh17 Quote
Zeldoz Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 If you have time, whip the old cat back on and see if the issue goes? Quote
Ollieh17 Posted October 18, 2013 Author Posted October 18, 2013 i'm not 100% sure it did start after the decat though, can't really remember. And the cat swap was a ballache the first time haha Quote
Ollieh17 Posted October 18, 2013 Author Posted October 18, 2013 i'm leaning towards the turbo being on its last legs, and is more obvious now the whole system is free flowing. Do sometimes get a slight wiff of what smells like oil when boosting high. Quote
Jamie-GlanzaV Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 They do run out of puff at about 5k! Get yourself a plug and play Quote
ryan lang Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 check for boost leaks. on my old hybrid, the seal on the cold side housing had gone and i was loosing pressure through it. the day after i decided to start getting the parts to rebuild it, i blew up the engine haha Quote
Ollieh17 Posted January 7, 2014 Author Posted January 7, 2014 still have an issue with this I think. Not sure if its just going as fast as it can or there's something restrictive/slightly wrong. The car feels perfectly healthy. Had a play with with my mate in his 217bhp golf estate and had the edge to start then power seemed to drop off? He said the exhaust note didn't 'match' the revs, speed and the building boost in the turbo. This made me think it could be the restrictive standard manifold? Also know I have a slight boost leak that is apparent at 0.7bar boost from the noise, but still holds boost fine Quote
Socks Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 Manifold will be fine at that boost! Does it hold that boost all the way to limiter? ct9s do run out of puff at the top end... Quote
Ollieh17 Posted January 7, 2014 Author Posted January 7, 2014 Yeh holds the boost fine, recently ported the wastegate. Have also had a few problems with the ignition system, but now have new plugs, ht leads and a brand new ignition coil to fit Quote
Ollieh17 Posted January 7, 2014 Author Posted January 7, 2014 I'll try get some in the car and outside the car videos! Quote
