Turbo seems to be bogging out...could be wrong..please help.

[TurboNinja]

I have been noticing me turbo not wanting to kick in as efficiently lately.Seem to have to really mat it to get up to speed.Now mind you this is the first high performance vehicle I have ever owned.I do not have a boost controler as of yet, and my boost is egaging to 5psi.I will be getting this soon but Im far too cheap to do this sooner that later.Also from what I have noted myh oil level has been over filled since my sr20 motor was installed, wondering if this may cause this concern and/or what should I be watching out for.

[SoSideways]

Sounds like an exhaust leak pre-turbo.

[Sileighty_85]

5 psi is not shit thats why your car feels slow when you up up it to 10+ psi you will notice a huge differnce.

[TurboNinja]

Thats what Ive been thing all along, but when I frist brought it up to my shop when it was a hell of allot worse they replaced the maf and sent me on my way.For a while there it ran awesome!

Is it true that these motors can handle 15 psi?

These "Engines" can handle 20+ depnding on how to build it
SR20's can handle up to 500hp on stock bottom end internals
But it requires a metal H/G

3) __________

Now please do your homework and do a little searching on this site and come up with the answers. I guarantee you, you will learn a lot as you look into those things.

Do you have any tips or suggestions as far as the best boost controler to use?

Adjustable ones


This will tell you everything you will need to know

http://zilvia.net/f/search.php



There are countless threads on this site that ppl have asked and reviewed on

I know you posted a thread a few days ago on this same subject and ppl flamed on you for not using the search system.


Zilvia is a great place were more than happy to help you out but you gotta meet us over half way.

This question has been asked so many times, thats why ppl get pissed cuz were tired of answering the same questions everyday.

That is why we have a Sticky'd FAQ so we dont have to repeat ourselves. http://zilvia.net/f/engine-tech/62607-sr20det-faq.html

Study other ppls problem threads and build thread information and you will learn alot about what products are good.

What is with this place....you can ask a question without being shit on.

When you ask a question such as lsd and vlsd you're lucky someone didnt slap you in the face. Here's a few suggestions: 1 learn how to spell and talk properly 2 please use the search function, this site has a very nice and easy to use search engine, it even lists the different types of threads. Lastly stop crying. No one wants to take time to answer the same question 500000000000 times, have a nice day.

Edit: To the OP, t25 are f'ing garbage. Dont boost it more than 12 is what i would recomend. Get a t28 and a nice tune and your car will hump you.

Holy fuck my text box is now full of red squiggly lines from improper English.

Instead of typing a n00b ass question like a lame ass person, why don't you do us all a favor and USE THE FUCKING SEARCH FUNCTION AND ANSWER YOUR OWN DAMN QUESTION?

About a billion n00bs have asked the same n00b ass questions before you, so what makes you think your n00b ass question will have a different answer than the same billion answers to the billions of n00b questions that you just asked?

Honestly, so many of you fucking n00b kids come on here and want people to spoon feed you information instead of doing some leg work and looking for the answers yourselves, sometimes I wonder how you kids get through school if your daddy and mommy don't do your homework for you. Do you sit there and cry to the teacher how they're lame and ask you to do stuff that you don't know anything about, because you don't want to learn it?

ZOMG THAT'S SO GAY LEMME CUT MYSELF TO REMIND MYSELF THAT I CAN STILL FEEL!!!!!1!!!(5-4)!!!one

Holy hell, are you people really running your little T25s at 16 and 18psi? Why?

Stock is 11psi, 7 without the boost solenoid (which most motor swaps don't have). There is 0 reason to put it past 14, and that's pushing it.

This is not our Jobs to give you information, We dont get paid for this shit, so we dont have to answer your questions.

Like said we do this to help ppl out but were not gonna hold y'all hand and build or fix your car for you, you gotta meet us at a MINIMUM of half way.

Not shit like this,

My car runs shitty what should i do? I dont know Jack shit about cars or Turbo'd Engines, I bought this Engine to be cool like everyone else.

Cuz then we respond:

FAIL!! Search n00b!!

Somthing like this:
My car is bogging under boost, I already checked Boost leaks, MAF, CAS, Injectors, TPS. Is there anything else I should check?

We Respond:
Oh ok Well what fuel Pump are you running?

Oh a stock KA F/P KA F/P is Old and Crappy
You need to slap in a Walbro 255 F/P

Then you respond:

Hey I put in the New F/P and everything is perfect
Thanks Zilvia guyz

Then you Give us lots of Rep Points ^_^

Read my original post when I made this thread, you guys are now comparing apples to oranges.The only reason your doing this now is because of my first post on this forum to which yes I was in the wrong, but for god sakes let it go.

[Mikey88]

search ftw!

Back in the day when I had a t25 I actually kept getting good results untill I hit 16 psi (thats on a real dyno not seat of the pants). I also had a pretty effieciant intercooler so that let me get away with that couple extra psi. BUT!!! I am in no way sugguesting anybody with a t25 go past 14 (thats with a front mount)...I've learned my lesson it best to just go to a larger turbo and be safe.

the only possibility that I can think of is that if the motor is over filled with oil, then the oil cant drain enough from the turbo, there's too much oil in the bearing housing, and its causing too much friction on you turboshaft and bearings for it to spool properly. i had this kind of problem on a homemade jet engine i made out of a t2 from a volvo. after awhile of it running like shit, the oil pressure, plus there being too much oil in the turbo, caused the rear seals too blow out and then it was smoke city. hope it helps.

The Oil feed Banjo bolt has an oil restrictor built in to it so its not gonna over pressureize the bearing center section, plus I've never heard of haveing too much lubrication making somthing spin slower. Yes Over pressuring the center section will blow the seals out but not slow it down

Over filling the oil is not that big a deal, its not like there is a point to where the oil pump needs to not pump oil, the main concern is not filling it up to the the oil return point

gotcha. well on my jet, there is no flow restrictor for the oil. and when im starting it up, i have to drop the pressure down to about half just to get it to spool high enough to idle because it seriously wont want to spin fast enough becuase of the oil. once the engine warms up and the oil viscosity drops, i can then bring the oil pressure back to full.

so sorry turbo ninja. guess my idea wont help. hope you get it figured out.

[TurboNinja]

Im really worried about the seals mainly thats why I havent driven it all week.But I think Clowny does make a good point.

[Sileighty_85]

If you are running the OEM Hardlines for the turbo you do not need to worry about over pressureizing the the Center Section becuase there is a n Oil Restrictor installed

Too much Oil will not slow down your turbo spool

[SoSideways]

Hmm... what type of oil are you guys talking about?

Too thick of an oil could cause the turbo to not spin as smoothly I guess, but honestly, I'd rather have the turbo not spin as smoothly than to risk not having enough lubrication on it.

[Black240Ct]

i dont know if u had ur question answered i skipped a bunch of posts. but an exhaust leak could cause the cars response to feel like shit. either the head to ehaust gasket or the turbo mani to turbo gasket. see if there are leaks,

or just your shitty waste gate giving out. get a hks one. well worth the cash and you can adjust boost with it. made a big difference on my car.

[singlecamslam]

you would hear an exhaust leak before you can feel it. And Royal Purple is the best oil for your SR.
