i would say, park it till you figure it out.

ps, get in touch with someone in your area they should be able to help you get it sorted out when you get back.

Ok, i will tell him.

BTW, we're not being assholes about this Mturbo.
Untill you get a lot of ---- sorted out in that engine bay, it really shouldn't be driven. |

thanks for the help. I'm not one to get down or worry about people being mean, as long as the info is helpful let them be as mean as they like haha. In the long run they are still helpful therefor being nice.

MT tends to try to scare you into fixing your ---- before it really craps on your day.

My advice is the same as over there. I'll add a bit to it though.
If you are willing to put fourth the effort to do the research, put in the wrench time, and get dirty this car has a chance. BUT as it stands right now, there is really no way of knowing how f'ed the car is. The list of things that are definitely wrong are long, and the list of possible things wrong is... well... not good. I don't know your background with cars, but I'm guessing you have only done minor things in the past. Never too late to learn, but before you start digging in you either need to find someone that does have experience, or read up on how turbos work, what the various components are, and have a good understanding of what you are looking at. I think at this time, installing a Megasquirt will just make the problems worse. You would just be adding more factors in to things that are possibly wrong. There was a good list posted on MT.net about what should be your first steps. The issues listed may fix your issue. For the love of god keep the boost limited to 6psi though. |
where are you located, may be able to point you in the direction of someone to help out.

the car is in fort Bennings GA. my little bro is an Army medic. hes a not too bad with cars. I'm a little better but have never been down there to see the car so i didnt get a chance to work on it. As far as motor building goes i know the basics. I've rebuilt a bmw I6 twin cam, (that was a nightmare) and a 66' big block 428 ford but both were naturally aspirated, new to the boost game. Really I do thank you guys for all the help for me and my brother. I'm getting him to sign up on both forums as i will be out of the country until roughly September. Feel free to razz on him as much as you like.
edit: hes on both forums as remlap08 |
