19J turbo

jamescronin · Dec 10, 2009

So finaly got around to fitting the boost guage as i seemed to not be getting the turbo in turbocharging!

Lo and behold after taking it for a good run and pushing the engine hard its only getting upto 0.5bar above atmosphere.

So obviously the waste gate is opening too early as i have checked all intake seals and everything seems to be airtight.

I think i now have to adjust the threaded adjuster attached to the diaphram (without ripping it off the rubber!) but does anybody know how may turns approx i should put on to make this happen? I presume im looking for around 1.8bar?

It should ONLY be running 9 psi MAX ---- any more and yo risk blowing your motor the 19j is a **** slow engine at the best of times and you wont really feel the turbo coming in .
sure crank up the pressure if your going to change the motor for some fun but every day use leave it at 9 psi .

I presume im looking for around 1.8bar?

26 psi LOL it would go some then --- if the turbo would get up that high LOL
