turbo lag / black smoke / no power

[dirtygu]

hey guys well i finnaly got my patrol its a 2001 3.0ltr the guy upgraded the turbo but the car was running rough. So i got it at a good price but have since fitted a boost gauge and have found out that its not boosting past 10psi and its blowing black smoke under acceleration no idea why i have looked at heaps of threads on here and tryed a few things but cant seam to put my finger on it though maybe injector pump ???

I'd be first up getting a good tune up..
Possible over fueling I'd say. Maybe previous owner did a DIY tune..

Is that upgraded the Turbo, or replaced the Turbo with a new one?

[macca86]

there is no upgrade of the turbo on a zd30 you either replace the old one or you change the turbo froma vnt to a standard turbo if it's a standard spool up type it'll need tuned if it's a vnt turbo you have a bad boost leak prob a split hose or leaky intercooler.

Sounds like a leak in the intercooler or the IC hoses have come off. Check where the hose comes out of the turbo. It is a common place to leak and is hard to get at.

Yep as stated above definatley sounds like a leaking intercooler or blown hose ect

sounds as if thats it and clean the maf with m.a.f cleaner from repco or supercheap

I'd clean the MAF, pull the intercooler & all inlet hoses.
Check for splits etc & clean the. all inside etc.
If you're tight like me u can pull the OEM intercooler apart & use gasket adhesive to re-seal it. Works a treat.
Check ya air cleaner, fuel filter etc
A good engine service would be a good idea.

Really need to NADS your 4x4 asap
fit boost and EGT guages, block EGR.
fit manual boost controller and needle valve.
remove clean and check IC for leaks
As suggested clean MAF check all vacuum and turbo hoses
replace any split or perished ones

Do you know if Chip is fitted????
