Hey lads.

A friend of mine in the rs club here in Ireland is having a problem with his car, he replaced his turbo over the last few days and now when he gives the car some on boost the car seems to die and splutter. It happens in any gear. He seems to this it may be a problem with his amal valve, I drive a 2wd saph and my valve is different so I can't compare, if it even is that.. the car is stage 3, the turbo is a t35, he was running the standard turbo for a short while, everything else is stage 3... We put a new actuator on it at the same time, but the problem comes at a fairly low boost and in and around 3500 to 4500 revs ?

Any of you lads have any suggestions what it could be...

 

Could be plug leads (is it like the car 'hits a brick wall' ?) can he gently accelerate past those rev's? Had same problem once before at the same sort of rev's.

Or possibly a sensor gone down.

EsCos runs a 'lektron' valve and you're right, it's different to an amal valve - PJ's do them, as would probably Amber, Woodford etc..

it does exactly the same thing though.

im currectly building a non expensive mechanical boost controller - will show the results when i fit it in a few weeks.
