Re: having issues

ok.. got the valves re adjusted, there was a couple that didnt seem right.. hopefully thats it.. got it back together and did a compression check

took o pic of the rockers

compression number, not the 150-160 you guys were sayin but they are pretty consistant..

1- 130 2- 135
3- 145 4- 135
5- 140 6- 130

also found out what that sqeaking noise was that you could hear in the video.. oil filter relocation lines were rubbing on the pully. my fault.. :tdown:

Re: having issues

Talk to your engine guy. Explain you're having trouble. See if he would be willing to come by and take a look. Help you adjust the valves, double-check the firing order, etc. I think you're overlooking something really simple, or 'elementary'. Solicit an outside opinion, that can actually get there and look at it. None of us on here can.

yea i got it done.. i didnt mean in that post above you that i didnt know about the lifters as in adjusting them.. i was meaning that if they are the OE ones or aftermarket.. i havent tried starting the truck yet after we did compression cuz i wanted to see what you guys said about the numbers and what not..

Congratulations!

I will say, the worst I've ever seen a bad valve last run, I have learned from your thread

Re: having issues

Re: having issues

got a couple more questions.. like i said i got it running great, but i noticed the damper/crank pulley had a little wobble to it.. the damper didnt slip but had a slight wobble.. so i put the new one on reassembled it started it up.. no wobble.. took it for a testdrive today.. got back and the wobble was back.. double cheked the bolts.. everything is still tight what would cause this? it cant be right.. also the car runs and idles good.. but soon as you get on the gas it chokes and will eventually get up and go but it takes a minute.. fuel pressure?

Re: having issues

Throw a fuel pressure gage on it . Rev it up a few times. Pressure should increase with the added demand for fuel.If it drops or fluctuates its probally the regulator. Glad u got it running.

U might pull the dampner and check it with a straight edge. A little variation will be grossly noticable with the engine running

Re: having issues

yea i checked it for flatness.. like i said when i first put it on it rotated perfectly smooth.. but after running for little while and a test drive its got a slight movement to it.. aint really a wobble i guess.. you cant feel it or anything just see it slightly.. ill get that pressure checked too.. gota find another fitting for the gauge, the one that was on there cracked and was leaking fuel so i took it off..

Re: having issues

how much oil pressure should i be seeing at idle?

 

[xcluzivetyphoon]

Aight guys. Still need to know wat oil pressure should be but im having big problems beside that.. Ive had it running for a few days right.. Been takin it on test drives fixin lil things.. Leaks, brakes etc... Decided to test it out by driving it home.. Its maybe a 15 mile drive.. Never took the truck over 40mph.. I noticed i was losing power about half way home.. I was watching gauges.. Engine temp was good.. Oil psi was about middle of gauge so 40psi..

I get in the driveway after barely making it up the hill on my street.. I pop the hood cuz i seen it smoking.. I figured it was the high temp paint burning off the exhaust manifolds still.. Now its dark here right now, so when i pop the hood i notice immedietly the exhaust manifolds are glowing and it almost caught the heat blanket on my steering box on fire... I mean they were bright orange..

Engine temps were normal.. But exhaust temps had to be thru the roof .. I dont jnderstand because like i said i never even got the truck over 40..

Why would my egt's get this high??? Am i running lean??
Lol man i thought everything was good but its a nightmare trying to fix so ethin that someone else screwed up.. Definetly make me think twice about buying a non running modded turbo vehicle again!

Re: having issues

holy shit

I'm honestly not sure you could run that rich....or too...anything to casually make that much heat...Does your turbo...spin? like, this is a shot in the dark, but when it cools off can you grab the impellor and move the turbine?

your oil pressure sounds fine, but that gauge in the dash isn't known for being to accuate, if your in the middle, your doing fine.

Re: having issues

If you still have a Cat on it. It might be plugged up or broken up and blocking off the exhaust. Or you are running really lean. What is your fuel pressure set at ?

Re: having issues

I've had that issue once on an old 350, It was caused by timing being way off, I think retarded too much??? can't remember.

Yep, advancing the timing puts more heat into the heads. Retarding it puts more heat into the exhaust.

The Cat is worth taking a look at. Mine came apart on me and I wasn't able to get much over 13 psi when it did.

Re: having issues

yea turbo spins fine.. definetly nothin wrong with that.. and i have straight 3" back to the axle with a straight thru resonator..

yea i talked to one of my friends last night hes real good with tuning and building motors.. he said the same thing about timing being off if its retarded it had to have slipped maybe i didnt get the dist tightened good enough or somethin.. becasue when i set timing it was definetly advanced a few degrees..ill have to wait till tomorrow when i can get it towed back to my shop from my house to go back and check timing again..you can start the it up and it will run great, wont hesitate when you hit the gas or anything but i guess it will until it starts heating up..

its just difficult coming in behind someone else's work.. when i bought it i was told it had a aftermarket turbo and that was it.. since then ive found out it had internals, has shift kit in the trans, the ecu is chipped just dot know whit what or how its tuned.. ill just be glad whn this is over with.. ima be bald by that time though.. :rant:

Re: having issues

Have you got any DM logs of this?

Well done for persevering through all this - I know how you feel.

lol nah i dont have anything.. im not a tuner type of guy.. i just wana drive it.. lol and i cant find any info of the tune it has if one, or the chip it has, or if been reprogrammed.. like i said i was told only thing not stock on it when i bought it motor wise wise turbo and exhaust.. theres shops around here that tune and have dynos etc.. but nobody wants to touch a typhoon..i duno why, i guess cuz most of them havent heard of one i duno..

but yea i remember reading thru some of your stuff and the headaches you had too.. i know im not alone on this when it comes to that.. seems like these trucks are easy to have problems with.. but i love em still.. :tup:

Re: having issues

How do you know it has a shift kit in it? Did you drop the trans pan?

I would recommend get a scan tool and make sure your truck is running properly. It doesn't mean you have to be a tuner and start modifying the chips. I also would NOT bring a SyTy to a local speed shop for a tune.
