21:24 does the actuator move with IGNITON on an off or engine on/off? If its ignition -> how does it operate if the engine isnt creating pressure/vacuum to move the diaphragm? 🤷♂ Or is it rest of pressure/vakuum in the chambers?
@rx7bruh2 ай бұрын
It’s operated by the remaining vacuum in the vacuum tank. Hence why it only works a few times before the vacuum runs out.

Hey bro. Thanks for the helpful explanations. I’m hoping this video will help me figure my issue. I’m having symptoms similar to LIMP mode. But I don’t have any error codes except air pump relay. I have stock ecu with emissions delete. I can rev to around 5k before it falls flat. If I hold throttle in flat spot, it cuts and on cuts and on continuous. Like limp Ive triple checked solenoids, vacs and electrical. Omp etc.

@@rx7bruh initially I thought ecu was the cause, cos it also wasn’t sending ground signal to fuel pump relay. When I bought the car, it had a jumper in diagnostic to ground the pump relay. Anyway, the new ecu fixed that issue, but not the weird limp kinda symptoms. Wondering if I have a vac reversed down at the actuators. The vac routing I followed the online pics. It maybe the lower ones connected to actuators are backward. They seem to logically only go or reach to one location really tho
@SinfidelityMusic10 ай бұрын
What could possibly cause Limp Mode, but not throw a code? This thing driving me nuts. Definitely won’t make Boost, as soon as it tries to go above zero, it cuts.
@seran231611 ай бұрын
can we substitute some of these solenoids to modern 3-port MAC solenoids? especially for the exhaust control valve, instead of having 2 solenoids for vacuum and pressure, have a 3 port solenoid plumbed similar to a 2-port external wastegate

How can i check my wastegate actuators by teeing into them? What numbers should i expect to see? Also, where can i tee into to find the absolute raw pressure of the primary turbo, i.e before it gets to any sort of piping where there could be leaks, etc?
@rx7bruh Жыл бұрын
Hi please review the information at the time stamp 10:05 To test it you apply vacuum to one side while blocking off the other side (the side with the pill in it) There is technically no place to check primary turbo pressure without potential for leaks. The closest place would be on the y pipe

Im having a similar problem to the other guy here in the comments. I have a series 8 FD and my problem is as follows. Rev in nuetral: Cant get to +4psi Boost pattern 7-0-0 KOKO Test: CCV rod moves in like normal 6+ times KOKO Test: TCA doesnt necesarily stay in on the Key-on position. Kinda pulses in if you get what I mean. But it reverts back to its normal position though. Is the rod supposed to stay in on the key on position or is it just supposed to pulse? I can get a video up of it if you'd like. It moves in when revving in nuetral though. Check valves are all upgraded to the Viton ones that Dale Clark mentioned. Pressure tank holds pressure Vacuum tank holds vacuum (hissing sound on both) All lines good. All couplers good No signs of smoke on smoke test. All solenoids have been tested and function like they should. (I managed to get the "black box" apart and put in new check valves and test the solenoids lol) CRV and ABV both pop open when tested under a vacuum guage. No hoses are collapsing as i took off the turbo inlet hose temporarily to test for that. My only suspect is the Wastegate and Precontrol Actuators as i havent looked at these yet. The TCA would be the other suspect as something seems off about it as i mentioned earlier. Unless my explanation of it seems normal to you, in that case, i can rule it out. What do you suggest? Would the wastegate and Precontrol actuators cause these issues?
@rx7bruh Жыл бұрын
You don’t build much boost revving in neutral, you need load. Sounds like you have a massive boost leak if you have 0 psi after transition. But I know you said couplers and such are good. The TCA doesn’t move at all until 4500 rpm which is when it pulls in and opens the flap to send exhaust to the secondary turbo. Possibly wastegate and/or precontrol issue, stuck open likely.
@johndoe-yi6pn Жыл бұрын
Okay, ill take a look again. Perhaps i crossed a vacuum line or left unhooked when putting the uim back together. Thanks. And yes im aware the car doesnt build boost while not under load, however, it should build upto 4psi in nuetral past 5000ish but that doesnt even happen.

They look good. It always feels like cosmetic items are secondary to mechanical when it comes to FD budgets :), but I have been toying with the TEs on my Montego as well, maybe in a bronze or charcoal color. Are you running the same size all around or are they staggered (I heard you mention the fitment on the rears)? Looked like Potenzas on there....am interested in your take on the tire over your previous configuration. Look forward to see it with the height adjustment.
