A boost leak test is cheap insurance to keep ALL the boost and make more power for free! I’m showing how I’ve made a simple DIY tool at home for this and then how to use it on my newly Turbo Barra BA/BF Falcon.
This tool can also be used to help look for vacuum leaks that could cause various issues from bad idle and throttle response, poor fuel economy and all sorts of other dramas.
Hope you enjoy, if you did and would like to support our little battler channel grow please consider liking, sharing with a mate and subscribe to keep up to date as videos come out!

good to see you at it again mate. i have factory BA turbo engine with the same intercooler, 1000cc, pump, value springs. tuned. 4 inch dump. im interesting in what your car gets safely tuned at. id assume 280-310kw ?

@BrowneysGarage 2 жыл бұрын

At the crank? We'll be well out of injector before that if at the wheel, sounds more like the power you'd expect out of your own setup?

@@BrowneysGarage are you using stock turbo injectors? I told my tuner I was not chasing numbers I wanted something safe that I could put the boot in any time and not have to worry. Boost comes on later as my head pressure was getting high and he did not want it lifting the head or bending BA rods. My sheets not in the glove box but it's 290 wheels. And the cooler and cross over temps are fine and I live up in NQ where it's always hot. The 4 inch dump makes a huge difference getting the exhaust out of the head and it sounds awesome. If you are using stock turbo injectors and stock dump. I did have it tuned when I first got it on stock parts. It never hit the dyno so I can't give you a figure but I think I was running 6-8 psi. It hit 17psi when my actuator died I was lucky it not to turf the engine the pinging was real...

rarely something that would need to be undertaken. but non the less great DIY!!

You're right, bloody hope not anyway! Worth a look here and there though, at very least it's worked well for finding small vacuum leaks this time 👍. Hope the DIY tuning is going well mate.

Good job mate , however the smoke machines are just ripper at this and at $200 should be in every tool case .

@BrowneysGarage 2 жыл бұрын

For how often I'll have to do this (hopefully!) the smoke machine seems a bit of an unnecessary luxury at the moment - one day maybe though, they do look like good kit. Thanks mate.
