i know this is the wrong forum but my friend is in the process of turboing his y7, after we hooked up the blue box we started the car and the green led on the box started flashing constantly. does anyone know what this means? also when we start the car it stumbles. we have double and triple checked the wiring using the helms and still no luck.

blinking means its normal...
check turbocivic.net for wiring reference

 

the problem we are seeing now is that there is no boost, we are using a turbo XS manual boost controller. we turned it 7 times and we arent even hitting 0 we are still in vacuum what could be wrong? boost leak? if it is we are in the process of disconnecting the IC to see if it has any leaks and get it pressure tested but it doesnt make sense why we are still in vacuum at WOT.

 

That's a serious boost leak.

 

how many turns should produce 6 lbs of boost? any possibilities as to why or where the boost leak might be? could it be the seal on the turbo itself?

 

we think its the turbo itself, the seal may be faulty. how hard is it to reseal a turbo?

 

also turns out that the wastegate is not actuating, how do you fix that?

 

Turbo on a honda !

 

thanks for the help dickhead. if you're not gonna help dont reply.

 

If you want some help go to greddy and print the directions from their website or call them. If you want advice screw the turbo on a honda and build a real block first before you even think of putting turbo on a front wheel drive car that is going to do nothing except cause you troubles, break axles, and spin tires thru 3 gears. I've taken my time with this engine build and I'll bet money I put down more than a turbocharged teg all motor with a naturally aspirated h22a4!
