Last two years for me
I use my Q4 on a daily basis
You definately need the inlet manifold off to get at it .....................
I have the head off the Q4 at the minute due to a blown gasket and while apart i have noticed the turbo has Airstream stamped on the housing
but has garrett stamped on the turbo manifold is this...
Got them at last then ..................very nice mate
I always look at it to see where the next bend is ................:clap::clap::clap::clap:
Dont worry there`s plenty left ............................
Not sure what trick bits are on mine but it boosts at 1.2-1.4 bar and out runs Astra VXR`s :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:
Same as mine .................imported from Japan and Zender bodykit well i have Zender bumpers :tasty::tasty::tasty:
From memory it was a chocolate brown sud ...............and he had fitted cortina valves i think
i`m gonna have to find it now
Somewhere ..............probably in the attic i have a magazine article on tuning an old Sud
i think the guy was getting around 170bhp from his 1.3 sud
I`ll try and dig it out
Knowing Wombat ALL of them
last 155 i had that was doing similar to yours was a twinny and it was a duff Lambda sensor causing the problem
Used to work on such things many years ago .................but alas all has faded from my memory now
Thats the one
Thought about it but then i`ve decided its a one off from the land of the rising sun so really want to keep it as standard as possible or original if you get my drift
But if you lot have removed...
Does anybody have one or know where to get one from ................i`ve had to "repair" mine as one of the pipes broke off
so after a new one i have contacted Mangoletsi`s but waiting for a reply
I`m having a similar problem trying to find the history on the Q4 i imported from Japan
Added a few more pictures to the garage seen as she`s been out with the HD wax today:clap::clap::clap::clap::clap:
Its in the front pipe after the turbo .................. at the moment its reaching around 600 but thats just on short journeys
The Q4 has an exhaust gas temperature probe in the front pipe and a gauge in the car
Does anybody here know what the temperature should roughly run at ???
I`ve found the grooved discs on the Q4 are noisy
Quick run out in it today and the speed limit remover works :lol-030::lol-030::lol-030::lol-030:
Had it upto 200kmh at one point with very little effort :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
Its all right ..................... just the pedals are the wrong way round and i`m sat on the wrong side :lol-030::lol-030::lol-030::lol-030::lol-030:
Needs a bit more fiddling with but i`m happy
Ah now that i dont know ................... imported the Q4 from Japan so it could be original as i have no details etc
But if 1.2 bar initially then falls to 0.8 is the norm then i`ll be happy
Quick question for you all ...................
Driving the Q4 today and when you floor it the boost gauge whips round to 1.2bar then drops down to .8 and stays there with the throttle still down ...
