could you explain how to test inlet circuit on cossie to find air leak ?

GARETH T

you need a compressor, and something that you can fit where the airfilter goes with a air fitting on it!

let the compressor pressurise the whole of your inlet system to 1.5 times your boost pressure, then go around all joints with a soap solution in a squirty bottle!
bubbles means leaks

or even easyer, just take it to MSD and they will do it

Here's our adaptor. Just a quickly made item. I know some use proper machined ones, but this should give you an idea of whats needed......

i've got a box full of different sizes i've needed in the past. from 10mm to 100mm


i use a reg.



Some use a tyre valve fitted in the blocker, with inflator to pressureize



on my cossie i do @ 40 psi, but anything above your boost will be fine.

what he said but on mine ive put a gauge and tap on the inlet so i can shut it off when up to pressure. nearly took my mates head off when a plug blew out before i had gauge must of got to over 50 psi

We use a regulator on the Compressor to control what pressure it makes.

where do you plug it ?

stevieturbo

plug either end of whatever you want to test !!!

If you remove the intake cam, you can also check to see if all the intake valves are sealing properly during a test.

As above. The Silicone hose goes onto the Turbo Inlet. Clamp done up nice and tight. Then the 'connector' is attached to the Compressor which will deliver a regulated pressure and any leaks will become immediately obvious.
