turbo 2 Confused help nj
i have a turbo 2 . it came wit a fcd on it already for what i don’t know stock exhaust no air pump so i put a acv block off plate and egr block off plate its a 87 and i wasn’t getting any boost so i replaced the vacuum hoses wit silicone ones still no boost my tid is messed put its little it has a little plastic pipe for it . but would that cause no boost at all and the stock cats are still on it . would they be clogged for sure wit no air pump and cause no boost at all . i have and after market boost gauge but it needs to be put on which is goin on this weekand . i know there’s no boost u can feel when a turbo car boosts . i just don’t know what to do anymore any ideas thanks a lot . i don’t want to just keep spending money needlessly . i also checked the intercooler hoses and made sure thats all tight .

The FCD (fuel cut defencer) is used to prevent the stock ECU from cutting fuel to the engine when you reach a preset boost level. Its like putting a salary cap on a football team. It prevents you from making any more power. The sudden fuel cut under boost can also cause detonation. As for not boosting, check the waste gate. I think the stock one is vaccuum operated. IIRC, it should be closed while you are idling, and it will open when the engine is under load allowing the exhaust to flow through the turbo and spool up the compressor.

I'd say get those cat's off and see if they are clogged. How long have u been running no air pump with the stock cats??? That would definately cause low boost situations....

Loose the cats!
So now I'm lurking the turbo threads.
The dark side beckons.
I'm talking to the unmotivated owner of a spider web anchored 90 turbo with 4 flat tires.

i think he is saying that the car just feels alot faster. think of it like this. a rice boy who had a civic then jumped in a t2 with no cats. a t2 always feels faster once u mod it or take off a restriction.
and how much are those rims for 1sxyrxy?
