I?ve been searching and reading for a good while trying to resolve the issues on my recent +T. Just want to document some of it in a thread and try to get some fresh ideas.
Car is an 89 240 LH2.4 with turbo goodies off of a 940. 13c turbo with 90+ manifold, 3 bar fpr, and 850T orange tops. Pretty solid stage 0 with BRP7ES gapped to .028, new wires, cap and rotor. No cat, unknown o2, runs worse with MAF unplugged. MBC at 10psi is right now steady.
If the engine is dead cold it will hesistate and shake when applying throttle by hand. Once it?s warm it will take fuel no problem. Other issue is that once it?s warm, the car bogs down with anything greater than minimal throttle going into boost. If I don?t let off the throttle, it will backfire. Other times it boosts well and runs pretty nicely. Also seems like the turbo is pretty laggy, especially considering it is a 13c. A strong noticeable transgression into boost. On stock boost I don?t seem to have the bogging issue, however the cold idle problem is still there.
Not really sure where to go with this other than checking the o2 voltage and resistance on the coil. Possibly the power stage as well. I?ve searched through a lot of threads and haven?t found much in the way of consistent fixes. Not really trying to dump much money in the form of parts throwing or a wideband. This is a super budget build and rusty at that. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks TBers!!
