okay just dropped a new motor in my 89fc tII got the turbo fully rebuilt and installed a avcr along with my s-afc that i had on it before , everything checks out on the avcr but still no more boost , i want about 9-10 lbs but somethin is tellin me to go kick rocks , can someone help please this is pissin me off.

 

Do you have a boost controller and after market boost gauge? Leaks will cause MAJOR boost drop.

 

i had that problem, but when i got a downtube it jumped up to 12, so then i got a MBC and ported the wastegate!and now im pushing 8!

 

^^
Are you talking about when you got a 3in downpipe? How big did you port your wastegate?

 

i have a aftermarket guage , and aftermarket controller , its all sealed up pretty tight , i even raised it to 1 bar and still 4 1/2 -5 lbs

 

did you use rags to keep stuff from falling in to your intercooler pipes while it was apart?

 

yes

 

what would that do if i didnt ? i know i did but how would that change things ?

 

Have you done a pressurized leak test?

 

yes it was a 3" downtube, and i ported my WG to HUGE, no about 2 times as stock

 

Stock exhaust and intake? And did you bypass the stock boost control solenoid?

 

if you used rags, then you may have left one in your pipes... happens all the time to forum members

 

its a full 80mm exhaust and aftermarket intake , does the boost control solenoid get removed when you do emissions removal? im not to sure where the solenoid is , and we double checked for rags lol

 

detach the wastgate hose and leave it closed. Be careful not to overboost.

 

Will that detect if there is a bad wastegate?

 

Check the FSM to confirm whether your solenoid is present...

 

k ill check it out where would it be located ?

 

and i dont have a factory service manual

 

Look at the FAQ section of this forum. It has links to them free online that you can download. I also chose to print them.

 

Did you change anything in your fuel system?
Did you change the ECU or add something that can control fuel?

Stock injectors , fd fuel pump, safc, avcr, full 80m exhaust, huge front mount, fcd, emissions removed, i think thats pretty much all thats dont to the car , i have 680 cc injectors sitting there but i want to make sure im gonna run more than 5 lbs before i throw them in

 

but everything is rulling nice and the way it was before when i was pushing 10lbs

 

What are the S-AFC settings?

id have to look but i know everything is **** , cause its still on the settings when i was pushing 10lbs on the old motor so i dunno , i think it might be something with the engine wiring , do you think that could be a possibility ? i can get a new harness and starter harness for 100 shipped , sound like something i should do ?

 

n/m guys i fixed it , thanks for all your help
