Guys i'm at a wits end here, refer to 'supra fuel consumption'
I've always had the idea that Turbo Cars are quite fuel 'efficient' and my Cress 1G conversion was justified for wanting more power and havin more fun.. But this thing with the fuel economy is driving me to the cleaners man...i'd like some help with trying to indentify the problem.
Engine - 1G-TT 3rd Gen,BOV,Pod filter,1.5kg lighter flywheel,
standard boost.
Chassis - Cressida GX60 standard M/T
Now the G/box from the original engine (1G-GE) is a W57 and the TT comes with a W58. The power on acceleration is not very 'good' or up to spec i'd think, cause the 'higher' end torque and response is very good the initial lower end is bad. I've had smaller cars with 1000cc engine getting the better of me at stop lights.
However that's not my main concern. The fuel is 'far' too much and i thinks there's a problem with the Turbos' or air leaks or actuator/wastegate.
The main symptom is a 'squeak' as i accelerate and a sudden drag, but for just a second,feels like it's gonna fly then..there's that squeak,tug then that heavy feeling than..i know the engine is using too much fuel to give that push..which seems very sluggish...at times...
Anyone here who can be of assistance please help !!.This weekend i will check for air leaks, and most probably remove the turbos and manifold to get to the wastegate/actuatuors etc.
Nark and the others who have the 1G, please give me some feedback on the possibilities.
Thank you all so much
cheers
p.s. 'Split pulse' does this mean anything ?? should i be looking for something at the manifolds ??
