Ginge !

now my cossie is still holding 25psi and its peak is 1.83 bar ( i cant tell ya what psi that is as i had me eyes closed at the time , my blitz tells me anyway )


but it dont feel as quick as it did in 3rd, 4th and 4th ,

still takes off in 1st and 2nd



now ive got a hisssssss when i first touch the throttle comming from the inlet side of the engine bay



its wierd and also when im plant me foot in second at 2500rpm the car slows then gets faster, but when i half throttle and then full throttle it moves ok



whats the problem with that fookign car of mine



whats causing it, ,its still holding 25psi even though it dont feel as fast


am i just worrying about nothing about nothing



i dont usually boot me car, this was one of them overtaking ideas i had and it just didnt feel fast


im sure theres a problem but would if the car felt slower would i have less boost

its just 3rd, 4th and 5th remember

Sounds like a boost leak Ginge Specially since you said it "hissed"

My works van came back from the body shop recently and when driving home I noticed it felt more lathargic, and made a hissing noise under acceleration. Traced it to the fact the boost hose from turbo to intercooler was not tight (jubilee clip left off, muppets)

And, 1.8 bar is about 26-28psi according to my calculations (somewhere between 14 and 15psi to 1 bar)

Ginge !

its not a hose based boost leak as its just a quick hiss when ya tap the throttle, it does go though and ive checked all boost pipes too , its from the throttle to the engine part that its comming from


oh abd its not the air filter as thats on the other side

PhilM

Break it and give me the wheels...sort the cabbie instead

Ginge !

phil i want both cars, im a greedy fooker


come opn peeps help me out

PhilM

Sounds like a boost leak mate....check the hoses, inlet manifold gasket etc!.

Ginge !

eyah but wont i lose presure though ????


its deffo holding 25psi still


just seems slow in the bigger gears , its still a very fast car, just i fel its got slower

frog

Inlet manifold gasket ?

Ginge !

i might try that

St3V3_C

Is it the vacuum hose to the fuel reg by any chance?

Ginge, most of the time no you won't lose prssure, as the inlet always demands the same pressure to be seen at inlet. What it means is that the turbo is working harder to give the inlet that pressure.

Lets say you have your car set to make 20psi (at inlet) The turbo is probably making 22-23psi and your loosing 2-3psi through the cooler which is normal.

Now if you have a leak somewhere, the inlet still wants that 20psi, so it makes the turbo work harder to compensate, which means the turbo spins faster and harder and might make say, 30psi you loose 2-3 normally, but also 7-8 in your air leak. But the inlet still see's the required 20psi.

This can be damaging to the turbo, depending on the air leak size. At the worst end of the spectrum, you could be over spinning the turbo, and making it make more boost than it is safely capable of.

See what I mean?

Ginge !

yeah but then it would come on boost later ,


ill check the fuel preasure reg and see what that does, its deffo form the throttle and after that as i can hear it when "santas little helper" was hitting the throttle for me to listen


fookign cars

Not nesasarily, no.....

You might wanna check the bit where the throttle bodie bolts to the inlet, as my mate (with the blue EFi S2 - you met him before) had a similar problem with where his TB bolted to the inlet manifold, and was hissing, most notably in the higher 3 gears.

Carburettor cleaner at idle never fails Oh, and I might have one spare in the garage too...

That is induction hiss you weapon!

Ginge, I don't know why you have a powerful car. You,d be better off with a Honda Jizz!!

LOL

brad

use a bit of garden hose to trace the hissing noise . although if you have a leak on the inlet fanymold the car would usually run rough

Ginge !

daz in get the induction hiss on the other side though


it does happen at the same time though

but why does it not feel as quick though



fooking car

i hate cossies, ya buy em and all ya do when ya drive em is look for faults with em, on all my other cars i just drive em till they broke down and then bodged em and had another 6 months motoring aswell



and they never cost 40 quid a week in petrol


that fooking car and them fooking christmas songs too


ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

RSCAT

dont you just miss the trouble free and cheap to run good ol cvh`s

MadMac

Ging just sell it to someone who knows how to drive it and look after it

RSCAT

is that all, i put that in mine everytime i go out in it.

Ginge !

yes but only cause i have to buy new tyres for the fooker


its nice to have a car that the first bill of repair is tyres ( theres only so many ways ya can swop em over and turn the tyres on the wheel before there totally bald


now i need all fooking 4

Ginge !

stu i do know how to drive it, just cause i own a cossie dont mean i have to rag the shite out of it on every side road and get as fast as i can in any conditon



its about driving abillty and knowing ya limits



i dont have any near misses caused by me ragging me car like a fooker


and as for looking after it, washing a car is not part of a mot



i drove all the way to blackpool to have me car checked over, that to me is looking after it, same as this post and dazc is right, its the fooking induction his caused by the sucking in the aor on the air filter, the air has got to go some where

as for it being slow im confused though , might be me again just worring

vroooom ptssssh

wtf is that tune

david

Ive only ever had 2 cvh's that aint gave me hassle

Ginge I dont have a clue what it is up but hope you get it sorted mate

A Christmas song to cheer Bal up.

Gotta love Cossie paranoia Bal...... par for the course.

Ginge !

send me ya address and ill post ya the cd as a pressie


shes turned it off now


now i got her taste in music now


cvh engines are no hassle, my cabrio has done 13000 miles since i bought it and i still aint checked the oil, i never even checked it when io bought it, when its using more petrol its time to top it up



wish i could do that with the cossie , i cant afford the tools to rebuild a cossie forget the parts nedded




i wanna get some gauges but ill prob just look at em and think there not reading proper and my instinct is correct

Billabong

Bal, has it got a dump valve on it and if so where is it located?

Ginge !

no dump valve fitted to it

Billabong

Dunno then, maybe check all those little small bore hard plastic pipes that come off the inlet manifold etc., although leaking inlet gasket (plenum) sounds possible - but the carb cleaner sprayed around that area would quieten that up (for diagnosis purposes) as mentioned.

If ya get really P'd off with it, stick it in a pond and see where the bubbles come from (just tying to cheer you up)

Ginge !

cool guess im gonna be demonstrating carb cleaner to part timer at work tommorow



i need to teach one of em how to make a front number plate again now as i fooking cracked my front one again
