i did a really good boost leak test and found a tiny leak on the j pipe where the nipple goes to wastegate... i will be welding it in a lil bit... but could that tiny of leak be the case???
timing is on... logger says its at +2 to 5deg at around 900 rpms. looks good to the eye... and no knock was recorded... highest number was 7...
they are gapped at .03 or around there... the plugs were in it when it ran well, and i checked them and they were all firing... this all happened after i replaced a bad injector... but before that it boosted 16lbs with the bad injector... just gotta wait for the kids' mom to get back so i can get to work on it some more... and there are no damn gaskets on any of this stuff, all gasket maker!!!
I hope you don't try and sell it without telling the potential buyer of the porblem(s) it has.
trust me.......... the test drive reveals itself!!!!!!!! but just sayin..... i probably keep this shit for the summer at least......... just wonderin why i always get myself into this shiat???????? like i say, its a damn addiction!!!!!! DSM!!!!!!!
I guess I don't understand why you just want to give up. Jet offered a suggestion that you try reducing your plug gap to no greater then .028. A couple of us have also mentioned that your turbo may be dead. Take 5 minutes to go out there and reduce your plug gap. If it remains, well then seriouslly it's looking like either a HUGE boost leak or a turbo on it's way out. Pick up another 14b for $100 and hopefully that does it. You're making this seem worse than it is.
yeah ima do a compression test today..... hopefully i dont have to start over too soon..... if the numbers are good??? i will just probably put on another turbo i already have, and my fmic..... and if numbers are bad??? gotta pick up a dd and get this one ready for the spring cruise!!!!! or just put it to sleep and go to my master plan!!!!
alright im done..... it was just another injector but i guess it wasnt bad until it was boosting??? i dont know??? replaced the other 3 injectors and its up and boosting again!!!
yeah i hope i dont do too much to it before the spring cruise!!! try to actually keep one of these as a daily driver and not always trying to make it king of the road!!! but i know i always want more!!!!
