Since I got my VR4 back together and driving again, Straight away, Got a high pitch noise on boost, Was louder on high boost with boost hitting 14/16psi plus,
So was thinking must be a leak somewhere, Replace some of the pipes I make to replace the sort pipe back to old ones and no better, So was still driving it, Waiting for the weekend so I could pull everything apart again, that I had touch but going home on Tuesday, The car started to have no power at all, Like it was cutting out, Done it mostly when I wanted to put my foot down abit and once while sitting at 90kms, Was thinking a air leak, Now thinking could it be starving for fuel?
I got home and didn't drive it again, Had move it around few times, When I had the car running the other night, Notices their was black smoke coming out of the exhaust, The car was running really rich, It was running normally as good as she was had, So turn it off and left it to the weekend.
Saturday morning comes around and I had pull everything off I had touch or replace looking for this air leak, Everything was put on right and done up tight, Was going to start the car up and take down the road to see what she would do.
Come to started the car, She started after taking a while to firing up, when it finally did, It was running like crap, Give it few revs, Started to idle normally then it die right away, Would firing up but shutting off straight away, Now it will only firing up and won't idle.
I'm thinking it something to do with the fuel pump, Someone else think it the turbo/turbos,
Try the spare MAF I have and try both plug and unplug and still the same.
Reason why we had off the road cause it was blowing radiator hoses cause by the thermostat jam shut cause by block in the heater hoses(making the water go blown), When it blew second hose after being driving for few hours, Radiator was stone cold when we pull over but engine was hot(like normal) but temp gauge in the car never show any overheating, Didn't move from where it normally sits. So could be some other damage done that we haven't found?
