dsm problems....
 
i have a problem...i swapped out the 13g on my talon to a 14b...now when i drive it it idles fine....no problems, no cel's just doesnt boost at all....ive checked all the i/c pipes and everything is fine...its like something is holding it back, i got the turbo from the guy that i bought the car from, no shaft play and the wheel would spin freely by hand? any ideas what it could be?

check the wastegate flapper

Re:dsm problems....
 
even if the flapper was open it still should boost something right...may gauge, which btw is the stock useless gauge on the dash(for now) goes to 0psi a little above...where as with the 13g it would jump to 14+?

if the flapper is closed it will generate 0 boost... no matter how hard u try. not even barely 1... close the flapper arm and check the wastegate to make sure its holding it closed...

mmm...that doesnt make sense....if the gate was closed then wouldnt it creep like hell?

yea, i had to read it twice....but the gate is as shut as can be....same problem.,...i changed the o2 sensor as well, but that really has nothign to do with it not boosting

Re:dsm problems....
 
ummm, it runs fine other than that?..not missing or anything? is it leaking exhaust right b4 the turbo?

hybrdcivic95 10-21-2004 06:42 PM

Re:dsm problems....

check to see if the gasket betweeb the compressor housing and the center section is good or is there at all. you'll have to remove the compressor housing.

hah.. oops... i meant if its open... dude i think ur wg is crapped out... its like so ------ weak it opens to easily even if the flapper is closed. either shorten the rod or get a new wg

Re:dsm problems....
 
i checked the wastegate...it has tension on it when i pull on it, so i dont think thats it

i was gonna say the same thing... mr hybrid... take off the vacume line to the wg and see if it creates any boost... jus dont over boost. if it does create some boost then ur wg is ----... i still think its ur wg cuz ur turbo has zero shaft play... jus cuz it has tention doesn't mean it aint gonna open early with vacume source... cmon man try it and work with us... were tryin to help =x

Can you guys explain this whole Carb Spring idea?

turboDA6 11-02-2004 05:11 AM

Re:dsm problems....
 
the spring acts as a wastegate for you... holds it closed so boost can be created but opens depending on the tention when under boost... more tention = less opening = more boost, less tention = opens sooner = less boost...


get it?

Re:dsm problems....
 
Sounds like a bad actuator.The factory gauge actually isnt far off from the true boost level(about 1 lb off)Change the actuator or do the carb spring trick and see what happens.
