Weird boost issue
Have my CRX LS-T t3-t4 internal wastegate, but i have a weird problem with boost.
In 1st i get around 5psi 2nd around 12psi 3rd around 15psi 4th around 13 5th got 10psi again Internal wastegate Changed, with same problem, the wastegate flapper opens freely, no problem. What can cause that? |
Re: Weird boost issue
bumped ttt because i'd like to know why this would happen.
at what rpms are you shifting on each gear? maybe its because the internal wastegate hole is small and needs to be ported. |
Re: Weird boost issue
you should try using an external wastegate. or it might not even be that could be a bad boost controller(if your using one).

Internal gate might have too soft a spring or other issues you cant see. I agree with drupie the boost controller might be having issues as well. Ballandspring boost controllers are subject to this problem when the spring is too weak or the ball isnt seating correctly. Blowoff/bypass valves can also cause this issue, leaking under certain loads (ie. 1st gear-low load) |
Re: Weird boost issue
post your complete setup.
what kind of manifold? what kind of boost controller? manual or ebc? where it it set to? what spring are you using in your wastegate? exhaust? etc ive seen more problems with finicky electronic boost controllers more than the manual ones. im sure quality varies depending on the type of ebc, but more to go wrong with. |

nice car. ditch the ebay special please.

Re: Weird boost issue
The reason you are getting different boost values is because of boost creep. 5psi in first sounds fine to me then the extra pounds in the other gears is because of the creep. Just look at it as free extra power since its gated at 8psi.
That or maybe you have a piece of ---- boost gauge |

That or maybe you have a piece of ---- boost gauge dont look at that as "free" power. try an external gate. |
Re: Weird boost issue
if its creep, why then does it make only 5psi in first?

Re: Weird boost issue
For the boost problem im going to check first with other boost gauge.
Another problem i have, are the car runs like if i have a very small turbo, the car stops to create power at 6k and wonīt rev more than that. I was thinking the problem was maybe the basemap that at 6k have to much fuel or something. As additional information, the turbo starts to create boost at 3k in 1st gear, i donīt know if is normal for that turbo A/R .50 / .63 |
Re: Weird boost issue
Sounds like a tuning issue. Don't try to make that turbo sound like it was built by volvo when in reality it was built by a 4 year old oriental.
If you think you have problems now, just wait... |
Re: Weird boost issue
I think he was saying that it's a volvo wastegate, not the turbo.

Re: Weird boost issue
post up a better shot of the flapper are if you can...looks like it cant open every far since the actual wg housing isnt very thick/deep
