Just had turbo and clutch fitted on my ERST.

Was like 12:30 last night and was too tired to start mucking around again after getting the car back together and started it (drives fine- XR3i style lol) but i have no boost.

Could it be the amal valves pipes are disconnected/connected wrongly or something to do with the actuator itself?

Obviously i will look tonight after work and give it a good check over but any advice would be appreciated, thanks

 

Yes, and if you changed actuator... yes!

Amal valve pipes go:

C=Compressor Housing
W=Wastegate Actuator
R=Return to metering Unit

These letters are marked on the Amal itself but you might need to take it off to see them.

Try winding actuator rod out 2 turns at at time until boost increases.
If you are using the same actuator as before and have not altered the rod length then leave it alone, it's probably something else!!

 

1st thing to check if amal valve electrical plug disconnected as thats above gearbox, looks like a t shape. If thats not plugged in your get like 2psi.

 

Im not getting any boost.

 

Not having much luck with this beast are you fella?

 

No mate

Its just one thing after another, but i love it too much to really get upset and im learning sooooo much!

 

At least learning is good. Every cloud and all that.

 

Well either way i should be still seeing you at 9:00 tomorrow and Im gonna graft on it tonight and early tomorrow to get it ready for you

Oh, and thanks for the fuel pump! Its spot on

 

Lets make it 9:30... I will need a coffeee, got a looong night ahead tonight!
