djhasin Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 hi everyone, I just recently changed the head and gaskets on my glanza and got a new turbo kit fitted with an external wastegate, I have noticed when I put my foot down and the turbo kicks in and when I change gear from second to third I get no pressure at all and a really loud sound (maybe from the screamer pipe) which sounds like I have a huge hole in the exhaust and the boost does not kick in at all, also if I put my hand over the screamer pipe exit my hand gets really moist with water and I have noticed that the water from the rad is a little down, any ideas anyone?

yaristurbo Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Is it a water cooled gate? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
djhasin Posted November 14, 2013 Author Share Posted November 14, 2013 I have not connected any water lines to it, I have just looped the water lines Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yaristurbo Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Was it from cold? Condensation mine used to after being stood? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Mine does it some times on cold start up and when its been stood. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
djhasin Posted November 14, 2013 Author Share Posted November 14, 2013 does it even from cold, I removed the wastegate from the manifold and had water around the ring aswell, maybe the wastegate is shit? its a cheap ebay one and maybe that's why I get a really loud noise from the screamer and no boost?

yaristurbo Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Yeah that's probably the waste gate sticking and the water maybe just condensation, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
djhasin Posted November 14, 2013 Author Share Posted November 14, 2013 any idea on how to make it stop sticking? and yeh ill check the screamer pipe when the car is nice and warmed up but I still don't know why the level of water form my radiator keeps going slightly down??

yaristurbo Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Water leak elsewhere? Did the head get skimmed?Take gate of and operate it with a vacuum gauge and see if it sticks anywhere? What are you controlling the wastegate with? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris_GlanzaV98 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 if its a water cooled wastegate i would guess you have put the vaccums/lines on the wrong way round, hope this helps bud Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What are you controlling the wastegate with?I bought the head second hand and the mechanic said it was fine and didn't need skimming, and I have had a glance around the head but doesn't seem to have any water around it but I will investigate properly tomorrow but I don't have a vaccum gauge, the wastegate just had a vaccum line from the side port of wastegate straight to turbo. the wastegate only seems to stick when I change gear after ive boosted for some reason.

yaristurbo Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Be when it's closing, with out looking at how the gates controlled I'm stuck usually there's a solenoid controlling it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TurboTobz Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 so your mechanic looked at the head and made an assumption based on fuck all that the head didn't need a skim? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

djhasin Posted November 16, 2013 Author Share Posted November 16, 2013 Cant seem to find any leaks around the head hmm... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daveEP Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Am goin to go out on a limb here but i would check your water and vac pipes are on the ryt way round on the inlet as i my self have put them on the wrong way and water was comin through the exahust ports!!! would defo check that as it was the only way i noticed something was wrong. never drove the car but seen the water straight away. this also might be the cause of your rad loosing water. check your oil too because if the same things happened your oil will be creamy like mines done in a matter of seconds.
