td42 low power and flutter

[PSI 08]

GQ td42 denco turbo kit, 1/2 a turn on the fuel pump...

I was trying to get up s steep hill holding about 3000rpm then when i gave

it a bit more trottle it just died with like a small flutter and a small amount of smoke..

never does this on the street. i had 3/4 of a tank of fuel.



my bro tried the same hill and had the exact problem in his partol (almost the

same setup)...

could this be a fuel pump issue or more of a hill issue??

try adding an inline pump to help give the injector pump more fuel

Do you run a pyro or boost gauge? If so, what sort of readings were you getting when the problem arose?

[PSI 08]

pyro does not get hot at all due to the 15 sec of throttle and boost drops off due to the flutter/miss

[coxy321]

What are the readings though (boost and EGT)?

Have you checked all of your piping on the pressure side of the turbo, incase there's a dodgy fitting leaking boost pressure?

[BadMav]

Check your intake hoses aren't collapsing. A coil of wire up the guts of them will fix it if they are.
