i agree honestly i don't think its a mechanical problem, ill let you guys know once its fixed

Haven't removed turbo but they checked the waste gate and the boost solenoid its all working properly. AFR went to 16+/- when it misses also when under boost

Yeah i did it a couple weeks ago and they also changed the tune today

So guys they've checked timing, checked wiring, moved injectors, checked fuel pressure, checked burn time, checked the waveforms and that fancy stuff with a zeus snap on scanner everything is good. I have a question he told me that this morning when he started it there was no misfire and he was...

any update on this?

Im going to keep it im ready to pay for whatever it is to get it fixed. My mechanics are certified and have their own shop im not asking some friends to look at it, but im confident they'll figure it out soon. Anyways thanks for the feedback, your right there's only so much you guys can do...

Wouldn't that affect leak down? if they run out of things to check im sure they'll do that It can build boost if i force it just chokes and misfire before i can get to boost

guys I need help, So my mechanic has my car he's been working on it with another mechanic that knows a lot about DI turbo cars all day friday and today. They've looked at everything, they swapped injectors, checked wiring, checked burn time with a scope, etc etc checked leak down again and 1-8%...

idk what was going on but he said wed have to drive the car for 20km after and since it doesn't miss at idle it would be hard to see, definitely could of swapped them around but ik and they know that non oem coils are crap, the last shop put a non oem coil

So I went to see my mechanic today, he called over someone that seemed to no a lot about speeds and DI turbo engines. He scanned is with some insane snap on scanner and he and my mechanic both agreed that the first step is could because the cylinder with low compression isn't misfiring only 2...

Money and Time are both important but the more time I can't drive my car the more money I lose, so Ill ask my guy to build me an OE engine with rebuilt block and head. Then ill see where funds are he can install it for 1400 in a weekend or I take 2 weeks and figure it out

Sorry for assuming, hope things start picking up for you As for finding a donor engine, I looked at most of them are 3k+, and I can get a fresh rebuild for 3600, so I'll go that route

I know most of you guys are adults with full time jobs making money, im in school and im 18 as much as id love to 'turn up' unfortunately I can't. i can't do more then oem rebuild and I'd have to install it myself. I know I know, i should sell my car and buy a civic or some economy car but I'll...

How long did it take you?

What would be the modifications to the turbo? just the drain line? I also read about regapping rings?

I think i could of worded that better, I mean I could have my engine rebuilt for me for 3600$, it would be oem spec. He built a spare engine, head included then gives it to me and when im done I give him my old one. I have read about the 2.5 swap but how long will that last?

Alright thats motivating at least, I just want my car back to hitting boost and being what a speeds supposed to be

I was testing at 100 psi but my compressor was set to 120 I read it was supposed to be more then 100 at the compressor, and yes I was at TDC Anyways this is shitty, would this be the reason my plugs look like they're running cold? Also how hard is it to install a new engine myself? I can have...

Why would leak down be so shitty with decent compression? So I redid the test and made sure I was at tdc of the compression stroke and my god cylinder 4 i don’t even know how it’s possible but 72% leak down and it was all coming out of the oil cap Cylinder 1-8%, cylinder 2 55%, cylinder 3 18%...

So disconnected my muffler and it didn’t change anything, I didn’t even need to drive it I can tell just by revving it, here’s a video and these revs I’m putting my foot to the floor and it only goes up less then a thousand rpm going to reconnect go for a drive to warm it up then do leak down
