What is a decent air compressor on a budget.
@ryanhunt881 Жыл бұрын
@Brandon Weiss I have the craftsman 150psi 6gal pancake compressor and it works pretty good. I got mine for about $100 + another 20 or 30 for hoses etc. It works great for this kind of thing or airing up tires using an air blower and more light to medium duty stuff, just don’t expect to run a impact or anything large like that on it. Most grinders and cut off wheels are recommended to use on a larger compressor because of air capacity and run time but I have a cheap harbor freight angle grinder that works pretty decent on mine.

Anyone attempting to upgrade there truck past the simple cold air intake should own one of these testers. I ripped apart my ERG/ intake to be cleaned. Once put back together, my turbo whistled. This helped me track down a torn hot side boot and metal gaskets on the intake/ egr that I needed to replace/clean. Thank you

Good idea, but when are the exhaust valves could be open leaking out the air, sometimes you can't get enough pressure in the system to really see the leaks, best to put a plug right before the throttle body then test again

@@jcbenson01 they're not equal in this regard. The terms boost leak and vacuum leak mean the same thing. Either the engine is in vacuum or pressurized under boost.

Doesn’t the air just go out the exhaust valves that are open if you try and pressurize the whole piping and intake manifold itself? I’d you start at the turbo inlet or turbo outlet? Where is your air source?
@juiceofsapho Жыл бұрын
From the video it is obvious he connected the adapter to the intake of the turbo (which normaly connects to the air filter hose), the turbo output is usually placed bellow the intake. It shouldn't make any difference I guess, beyond that it is probably easier to connect it to the intake of the turbo rather to the output hose of the turbo. The inlet engine valves "should" be all closed when the engine is shut down, since the last compression stroke that finally stops the engine should prevent that piston from reaching it's TDC, making all other pistons somewhere "in between" their TDC and BDC positions. Based on this, there should be no place for air to go from the point of connection to the turbo, except for the leaks of course ;) I am not 100% sure about this second part though, perhaps somebody here could verify it?

Thanks for the replies! So I talked to a company that manufactures a similar but more fancy version of these, and they said the valves shouldn't both be open (may depend on vehicle). They said start by removing the oil cap and going up to 5 psi, see if there are big leaks, and if so, try putting the cap on and seeing (carefully) if pressure builds up (indicating a bad pcv valve). If all is good, keep going up to 10, then 15. Nice looking units they sell at turboboostleaktesters
