E9 lost boost

Recommended Posts

Been running my EM9 kinda hard last few weeks. On my way down outa Maine last week I stopped for fuel, at an Irving which is all I pretty much use. Since then immedeitly after we lost @ 4-5 lbs of boost and the pryo doesn't heat up as much. Stop by the house to change fuel filters. Nothing changes. Truck runs fine but doesn't pull quite as good. What would cause the lose of boost? Still smokes the same. The weather up here is horrible with hot humid day & night. Any suggestions?

Remember if it's got a hood it's no good!

Exhaust or charge air leaks?

Charge air leaks could get you some high egt but only with plenty of fuel, exhaust leaks before the turbo will drop your boost and keep the egt down.

Hmm. I do have manifold leaks. Thanks for your input. This wintah were going to do some mayor rebuilding. Install my 18918B some 3.65 or 3.87 rears the Antrim turbo with the big spark plugs I bought. Guess I better do manifold work as well. I have a broken exhaust stud but its not leaking near it.

Whew, I've only had mine to about 35lb and it was screaming.

Oh and for the E9 crowd......possible tubular exhaust manifold update soon. I have flanges being made and tubing ordered.
