boost leak question
Well to make a long story short yesterday my wife and I installed some parts on the FD with some help from some friends (I am sorry I didnt get your message till almost 9pm jack). We installed her A-pillar gauges with the all important boost gauge. On the "spirited" ride home I noticed that the car was not making more than 5-6psi, vacume was holding steady at ~15in at idle and dropping to ~20in on deceleration. I have read a few FAQ's and i knew what to look for while i was in there installing the main parts (downpipe and aluminum AST). I am assuming there is a boost leak as i am never seeing 8psi therefor the waste gate is not opening allowing the secondary turbo to spool. Any thoughts on where to look post Y pipe? I have not brought the revs up on a stading car, but i would assume that i will not see much more then 0 psi.
My main question to you fine people is...... where can i find a boost leak tester. I have one for my 300zx and it is a life saver, i have yet to find one for the RX-7's. I guess Iam asking this as i would rather just buy a boost leak tester then make one. If there is not a boost leak tester on the market does anyone have a quick write up on how to make one, or does anyone have any hints for me aside from soap and water or toilet paper. |
Along with the troubleshooting steps listed here - http://www.autosportracetech.com/RX-7/rx7stuff.htm, we just had this thread yesterday - https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generation-specific-1993-2002-16/look-boost-leaks-arrrrgh-newb-rant-548220/. There are also countless boost leak threads to go through.
