Boost Limitation Switch:
how exactly does this work.. cause i think this might be the problem with my car
|
???? There is no such thing....you just have a boost leak or failed cat or other failure.
|
limp mode?
|

You could unplug the wg/pc solenoids, or maybe pop the hose off the double throttle.

i have blitz turbo timer.. and its measures boost to be at .48 kpa.. which is like 6.5 or 7 ish.. ifigure i should be running alot more than that.. but i guy told me that it was 6 per turbo.. which would give my 12 psi when im pretty much stock... cant be right.. but the biggest problem is... it seems like somtimes it have trouble switching to the second stage.. i though it could have been that limitation switch thing.. i shearched the stickys and the page wouldnt come up.. i have like 2 and a half months of warranty left on the car.. i just want to know excatly whats going on with the car... so they do try and get over on me or anything..

What part of "there is no such thing" didn't you understand? You have a boost leak, unplugged solenoid, open wastegate or clogged cat. Period.

The boost reading is at the manifold, not at the turbo. So, 6 PSI is at the manifold. You don't just add another 6 PSI to make it 12 PSI because of a second turbo. ;) If you are only at ~7 PSI, you have a problem with your turbo control system. Have you had any work done on the car, like a vacuum hose job? |
no.. i just got it about to weeks ago... its kinda hard to belive that my car should be faster than what it is.. so a vacuum job might do the trick???

Check or get someone else to check your turbo related vacuum lines, thats probably where the problem lies. I bought my Rx-7 with a massive leak at the Y pipe coupler (running 4psi), I thought the car was damn fast already, but when I found out about the leak and fixed it......wow. |

Oh, and it doesn't sound like you should be talking to this guy anymore for help with your FD. but the biggest problem is... it seems like somtimes it have trouble switching to the second stage.. i though it could have been that limitation switch thing.. i shearched the stickys and the page wouldnt come up.. There is no 'limitation switch' in the turbo system except for the double-throttle. It's used to keep the driver from producing much boost until the car gets at least a little bit war. However, IMHO you should be waiting longer than that (a solid 5min of easy driving) before boosting much, or you'll shorten the life of your engine. i have like 2 and a half months of warranty left on the car.. i just want to know excatly whats going on with the car... so they do try and get over on me or anything.. I agree, if you have a warranty you'd be foolish to not have stuff worked out before it runs out. Dave |
