On boost but not moving ...
Turbo Mini Forums

Another wierd one ; if I am cruising ; in say 3rd; then floor it; i can get the car at a stage where it is showing say 5 psi boost but not accelarating like it should be !!; only when it get to say 7 will it start to go

this behaivour is not apparent if I race through the gears ie 1,2,3,4 !!!

Does this sound like it could be caused by mixture ? of Fuekl Pressure ...

or hopefully - just becasue it is not in power rev range ??

At what sort of revs does this happen?

Alex if i was not sitting at my desk I would go and give it a try;
but I am a sado computer programmer ; who wishes I was home trying my mini !!

You are right I should have noted the revs but I didnt !!!!

I am just stressing about it

Again I will try it and make a note of the revs !!

Without the revs I cant read your power graph and see if its you or the car :p

I was not too impresses with my power I made;
it is a quik mini make no mistake there !!

but I wa hoping for more ;

I think the fact my actuator opens at 1PSI is holding it back a lot even though I am bleeding like a made thing to get the boost up dont you ???

TurboLessTosser

yup...

If it will only hold 1psi then the acatuator spring is weak and you will be leaking lots of exh gas away from the trubine! It will go much better with a working boost control mechanism!

How much preload did you put on the actator spring ?
