turbofoxlx
Well-known member
Hello let me introduce myself, my name is mario and I've been a member of this forum since dec and this is my first post. I am fairly new to the dsm crowd, my dad had a gvr4 when I was a kid and when I was 15 I baught 89 laser turbo that I did not have for long but that is the extent of expierience with dsm's. I later became a die hard ford mustang fan and have owned many since but I purchased a '92 gvr4 as a LITTLE project for me and my dad from a member here back in dec and it has been put on the back burner till now. I got the car as is and trying to make it work with what I got.the car has a maft with a 3" gm maf, an ebay evo III 16g, 3" downpipe, and 2.5" catback. Here is my problem I can't get the dam thing to build any boost.first I inspected all the ic pipeing but all seems good. Then I suspected the cheap korean turbo made by a hungry under paid asian child so I removed it along with manifold for a closer look only to find that everything seemed ok so I put it all back together with new gaskets and all but as I installed the j pipe I noticed it woul hit the valve cover and not allow the flange to lay flat on the turbo (didn't notice prior to removal). I thaught I had found my no boost issue so picked up my torch and bent the j pipe away from the vc to allow it to sit flat on the turbo, I also resurfaced the flange to insure a proper seal. I put it all together and ah ha still NO Boost. Now I can here the bov dump alittle but not building any boost! Please help this thing has me stumped! Thanks, mario -sorry for such a long story /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
