View Full Version : Finally my 5s on road
Finally got it on road the weekend everything seems fine no leaks or anything, just one small thing when i give it abit in 3 i get to 4000rpm and it like splutters like it dont wanna go? I think its just down to not being setup yet?
As iv got 285 cam, t25 turbo running 12psi and a standard setup recon carb all i can think is it aint fueling enough? Or am i wrong?
could be blocked fuel filter or pickup in the tank. or even the pump itself. you wanna check the fuel pressure really. should be 4psi above boost pressure. make sure the reference pipe to the pressure reg isnt blocked or split either
Got an uprated pump and brand new filter i put on the weekend, il have a check of the regulator though:agree: it drives fine if im
Just slowly puttin my foot down just when i plant it down its judders and dont wanna go..

Can't help on the issue but congrats on getting it back on the road m8!
awesome to hear its on the road man..
Get it setup before giving it some stick mate, might be stupidly lean??
Thats what im thinking might just wait til i get it setup and see how it goes il check my afr after work see what its saying
And cheers guys! Loving the 5! :smokin:Apart from the speed bumps as my estate is full of them:crap:

10.9 is pretty rich mate. so at least you can rule it running lean out.
nice one fella glad your happy with the turbo
So too much fuel then.. Get it now.. So just rekon it needs setting up properly? Nothing to worry about?
What boost are you running... Have you done anything to the carb???
could be a faulty aei unit, plug gaps too big but there's plenty of fuel for more boost, best to check how the carbs set up first tho
T25 turbo setup to 12psi at the min til i have it setup.. Carbs completly standard freh recon one off gtt spares im gonna get new plugs the weekend
Whip your carb off and see what jets are in there. 10.9 is well rich. What's the afr like whilst cruising??
Il have a look, as far as i know its all standard setup carb so watever that is? and il let you know tomorrow what it reads, wont cause any problems will it? Just drink the fuel..
Iv got a adjustable tdc sensor on set to 3 degrees advance would that have anything to do with it?
Well it depends on how much you drive it, if it's mega rich in cruise too then you run a risk of bore washing your engine. That is bad news...
Dont drive it alot really well not far just stay local to where i live like iv done about 30miles since last week il see how it goes
