a m8's just called and said his car WONT drive he's just changed the turbo(standard t3) and fitted a (brand new) t34 to his 2 w/d saf car was running fine prior removal but NOW it wont pull away(wants to stall when trying to pull away) ticks over just about, says it's sounds like it's popping and banging out the exhaust will pull away in reverse thou!

### he has rotated the housing for the actuator and thats it all### if thats any help.

one other thing:
HE'S DOING ALL THIS IN A CAR PARK OUTSIDE LAKESIDE RETAIL PARK

 

sounds like its not fuelling correctly possibly, he knows that really you need to change the chip when you swap from a t3 to a t34 does he?

 

Sounds like he's fooked up the flux capacitor

 

He must have done something other than change the turbo to cause that!!

Turbo isn't siezed s it?

 

He has reconnected all the hoses hasn't he?
Sounds like excess air getting in and wrecking the mixture.

 

Im sure the car would still drive if the turbo was siezed, would'nt it?

 

Yes although it would have a serious restriction on induction and exhaust...

 

Ahhhhh you be right grasshoppa (soz im in a silly mood today)

 

is the downpipe on properly?

 

Dac, it's a brand new turbo came out the box spins freely and is boosting up BUT when he goes to pull away it trying to stall all the time and runs very rough,I'm only listening while he's on the phone to me.

He's very inpatience so they tried to do it while their g/friends were spending money @ the Sales

 

Cossies will drive perfectly (with no boost ) with all the boost pipes removed so not that.

There obv somthing obvious hes buggered...

exhaust or inlet almost totally blocked.

or some sensor pipe/wire broke.

even with MAP sensor or FPR pipe off it will still drive "ok", not as bad as mentioned here...

putting on any size turbo wont affect the normal drive on a cossie

 

PMSL @ trying to do a turbo change while their biatches are doing the shopping

 

had a cracked downpipe trhat did exactly what your saying is happening to your mate

 

fair play to him, ten out of ten for effort

 

but NOW he hasn't even got the old turbo(taken away due to px) so maybe calling the AA to recover him home now their girls HAVEN'T come out yet) I'd LIKE TO BE A FLY ON THE WALL

 

She'll probably be like "told you to get rid of this piece of shit"

 

He MUST have done something other than swap the turbo....even if he hasn't realised it.

He has not leant against anything has he?

 

Yes disconnect the actuator, should run OK with no boost. If that doesn't work then its not turbo related....

 

pulled the pipe off the dump valve is a possibility, as is somehow disconnecting the map sensor feed pipe.

Another DIY job well done

 

A long shot......

I know this may NOT have been disturbed but...
This is usually overlooked.

Check the INLET manifold earth is connected TIGHTLY.
(TWO BROWN WIRES)

Had exact same symptons on 3 cars in the past.

 

when my boost hose was off and i was getting no boost it was driving fine ( but then i always drive off boost )


fooking drank petrol though done 20 quid in 30 miles


hes done somink else deffo !!!!


has he done the wiggle test

 

has he done the wiggle test [/quote]

like your style m8 I'aint hear any more at the moment and he's not answering is phone! maybe the girls have dealt with them

 

Has it got petrol in

 

yes m8 got 1/2 tank of gas has had it recovered to his house now, the sarger will have to continue 2morrow.

 

fitting a bigger turbo with out rasing fuel rate its gona do that

 

Rubbish.

 

how exactly do u work that out

 

I dont know sh*t about cossies, but id guess map sensor.....since my own car was playing up this afternoon due to map sensor wiring! (Reading -15psi constantly)

 

Stu u beat me to it

 

TOTAL HORSE SHIT

 

ive been on a saxo forum ( long storey ) and had a "tuner" there telling me that the alphatec narrow band afr gauges are very very good at setting up all types of cars, inluding turbo cars


now i know foook all about anything, i would have to say 2 people are confused

 

Alvyn, you said that he had to rotate the turbo from 4x4 to 2wd did he do that correctly as it easy to bolt on the back housing bent so the it stops the turbo wheel from spining

 

Rs Gus, yea it is total horse shit but with out being ther whos to know. or what was done or pulled it sould off been turbo of turbo on end off i beat thers more to it

 

abdr500,
glad we cleared that up then

 

Rs Gus, what would cause blue smoke under aceleration and when off boost then back on i get a big puff of smoke and when iam off the gas and go back on i get it agine and its blue i just changed the head gasket and now its worse

 

maybee a blocked breather /turbo oil return/fooked seals in turbo but i know one thing! mine dont biult by me

 

turbo oil seals or valve stem oil seals abdr

 

U only need to undo the 6x 13m bolts slightly and rotate the comp housing to where it needs to be so the actuator lines up for the 2w/d u DONT even need to separate the turbo!


ps
the turbo IS spining as I said in the 2nd post

 

vroooom ptssssh, thanks

 

Rs Gus, thanks for your help
