cars kinda running fucked up?
 

my cars been tuned for a little over a week now and ive been getting on it a decent amount here and there and never had a pproblem. well yesterday i went to work and parked my car and went inside. i went to leave work and backed out of my spot slowly and i heard a loud ass thud that i couldnt figure out what it was but it sounded likes something under my car. well ever since then it sounds like i have an exhuast leak or soemthing? and my turbo doesnt spool for ----. all i have for exhuast is my downpipe and its bolted up solid still and i have a perfect seal between head/manifold and manifold/turbo. i cannot figure out what the ---- is going on .

Re: cars kinda running fucked up?
 

lol just a thought... maybe you had a family of mice or some ---- in there with your turbine >:D
Somehow the family gets lodged in there, causing your shaft to break (thus the "loud thud") and that would explain your "exhaust leak"


Meh I dunno...

Re: cars kinda running fucked up?
 

ya know... i ------ hate it when that happens

Re: cars kinda running fucked up?
 

stupid thought, is the bottom of your dp now crunched blocking flow?

Re: cars kinda running fucked up?
 

hmm, i wouldnt think so but i spose i could check?

Re: cars kinda running fucked up?
 

check for cracks leaks?

start the car lisne to where it might be coming from then feel with your had around for any air pulsations (dont burn your self) and look for carbon build up

Re: cars kinda running fucked up?
 

ill try again but i looked a little bit last night and didnt see any carbon build up or feel anything.

Re: cars kinda running fucked up?
 

definetelly cracked manifold, because if it was an exhaust leak after the turbo you would spool faster. I had the same problem on my cheap SS mani. Check for cracks underneath the runners by the head flange and the turbo flange. After mine cracked bad it would only boost like 1-2 pounds of boost at the redline. How's yours?

Re: cars kinda running fucked up?
 

full throttle ill build a few pounds of boost by redline... ---- im going to be mad if my manifold cracked. that would just be ------- stupid

Re: cars kinda running fucked up?
 

Im very positive it's the manifold. Get under the car with a flashlight and check for visible exhast leak/crack on the manifold. Hope it wasn't an expensive one.

Re: cars kinda running fucked up?
 

not really expensive cuase i got a "good buddy hook-up" but its a one off custom one that is ------- tits.

check over the manifold very closely while the car is running. look over every weld especially head, turbo, and waste gate flanges. that's your problem right there. nice manifold, ---- man wouldn't want something like that to crack.

Re: cars kinda running fucked up?
 

so... manifolds in perfect shape. i couldnt figure out what the hell was going on. well i went and bought a set of spark plugs and decided to fill up on gas. the station i usually get my E85 from was out a few days before i filled up there and when they got more fuel in i even asked them if they changed to a "winter blend" just in case. he siad no but i guess hes ------- clueless. I put a full tank of gas in from a different gas station that i trust and after about 5 miles it started clearing up. once i got home it was running a hell of a lot better, i replaced the plugs and drove around trying to get more new gas through. runs great now.

so ---- inconsistant E85 from minnesota.

Re: cars kinda running fucked up?
 

nice

Re: cars kinda running fucked up?
 

why not say something, "HEYO, BITCH YOUR E85 FUCKED MY CAR UP, I HAD TO DRAIN THAT ----, I WANT MY MONEY BACK, OR IMA GO WHACK!" O0
