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!!

 

Yeh Karlos, its the same actuator and i havent changed it.

So i don't fancy mucking about with it.

Just need to get it ready for MSD tomorrow

 

if you get stuck luke bob it down and ill give it the once over see if i can see why if needed to

 

Cheers Alain.

 

it cant be nuthing to do with the amal valve pipes as this would only cause over boost symptoms.
it must be the wast gate not fulley closed on the exhaust housing
