Dissapointed to say the least....

Just spoke to Pip and my car is only producing 311bhp at the flywheel
 
The turbos are the knightsports rf420 twins which i recently bought from Carl at Hayward Rotary from Steve Garbutts car, (which i was told had only done 900 miles) and these won\'t even run at 1 bar of boost?
 
Everything has been upgraded so there are no real reasons why...anyone any ideas?
 
I was led to believe 350+ was easily acheivable?

[Bulla]

Surely Pip or Carl would know why ?

[pete sparrow]

Were you told what power steves car was pushing out with those turbo\'s fitted?

[lee mills]

these turbos are supposed to be good for 1.4 bar. do you know why there saying they wont boost to 1 bar

[peterwolds]

running 360 fly stock turbos

[steve77964]

Surely Pip or Carl would know why ?

Pip was questioning the turbo but Carl and Steve both told me it had not even been run in yet and Steve said it would easily achieve 1.3bar but obviously he was still running it in???
 
What am i supposed to do now? I have messaged Carl to see what he suggests but obviously if it is the turbos then they are not fit for purpose?

[karl_tate]

there must be a reason why they wont reach 1 bar boost weather its turbo/ancillary related.

what did pip suggest??

at what boost level did you make 311??

Just spoken to Carl and he reiterated again that the turbos were in mint condition so really the problem must be external to the turbo...5zigen exhaust is fitted and the cat has been removed, not sure on the downpipe, how much of a difference would that make?
 
He did not mention the boost level for the 311 but just said he can\'t even get 1bar through!

im not sure to be honest i know the injectors have been upgraded but i hardly know any of the parts that have been changed as i have not managed to get over there and Pip is the hardest man to get hold of on the phone!
 
Just spoken to Maureen his secretary and she says that Pip is gonna look into it this week...
 
by next weekend my car will have been there 7 weeks :Snoring

Steve afraid Pip is always hard to get to talk to sometimes better trying very late afternoon,long time without the car

You don\'t run turbo\'s in, they just start wearing out from day 1.
Maybe due to all the shipping about the turbo has had maybe it just need re-balanceing.

Could be a solenoid issue ?? Does it still have the rats nest controlling them in sequential ?

How long since the rats nest was checked. Could be as simple as a leaky vac line or dodgy solenoid.

Pip will find it. He isn\'t the easiest man to get hold of. He\'s always busy and understandably he needs to spend the time in the workshop. Always thought the "WGT helpdesk" on a premium number would be a good commercial venture

Thats not quite on though, if he is working on your car and theres an issue there should be a conversation to explain why in detail.

Sounds like perhaps a boost issue depending on if you are running a boost controller, if its spiking he will keep the boost low to make sure there is no damage ?
