Turbo Lag

[leonbee]

I will turn off the Active stability Control for a week and see if it makes any difference.

Update: Couple of weeks with ASC turned off and no death pedal. Will now leave it on and see if it happens again.

Article quote. In extreme cases stability control can also cut the throttle, despite the accelerator being floored.

The Triton cuts the throttle when it feels like it.... Usually with oncoming traffic

Dead/Death pedal is back on cornering and round-abouts. I can rule out bad fuel as I have had different tanks. I must assume its the faut of the traction control. Ill have the dealer look at it nest service for possible calibration.

Thanx for your help Stoneman.

I was just thinking about this today as I done a left turn and as the road joined the next it was raised if that makes sense? So the truck sort of changed angle at the same time as turning
And I didn't have any issues putting my foot into it as I do
Got me thinking about over sized tyres as my Pajero has and if the pressure isn't around 38-40 psi I get quite a bit of side movement and I reckon if that's what's going on it could just tip it over the parameters and trigger the traction control or what ever it is
My triton has stock tyres, will be changed tomorrow

I reckon the normal tyre pressure is not the normal any more

Just some food for thought, but first of all I would be making sure it's all set right first as you maybe chasing your tail a little

Probably better to replace the crap stock sway bars.

I've wanted to do the same thing with cameras when I have a problem

I don't really know as I don't have the issues but it just maybe worth considering

I run a 3 inch exhaust with a high flow and never seen any problems

Snapped my dump pipe one day drove all the way to site with no problems and no loss of power??.

I'Ve had a few tonight but my thinking is the car is the car and 9 out of 10 times the problems are the way it was built or the last person working on it

The way it was built. Look at this contraption available for the new best ever Triton model. Spend $40 gran on a truck and u have to buy one of these stupid looking things for $300.
Its like one of those trolley supports for an old geriatric person for a truck. Crutchers for a truck

Might have to get one of these retarded looking add on's to stop the stability control light coming on when I turn a corner or before I get sandwiched on a round-a-bout.

Sounds like u need a laugh..Check it out ......

I didn't really see it doing much except for looking extremely white

[Stoneman]

Beware of imitations but

[RHKTriton]

Tying the strut towers - but they're mounted on a big steel chassis - not a pressed body section!

The nice long flappy brackets to connect the ends of the rear stabiliser bar will probably break off with fatique soon enough.

Cracks me up when these rice burner fanatics try to take their ideas from an Ego or equiv and tack em onto a 4x4.

Will also have huge effect on turbo lag?

[Hopeithurt]

How do u calibrate it ?

With a mut

I will give it a stab with the g scan and see if it can do it.

Just an update on Death pedal problem. i.e when accelerating off the mark, loose power like a flat spot in a petrol. Not the slight turbo lag. Complete lose of power for a few seconds then suddenly cuts in.

ANyway the death pedal problem has gone. Got fixed last service. I Never mentioned it to the dealer. Have no idea what they did or what caused it. No probs for about a month or so after 30k service.. Feeling allot safer crossing traffic .

[Overbank]

Has anyone had any experience with these chips? I've got a 2013 MN 2.5d 4spd auto and I want to fix the lag at low revs: http://www.sw-diesel.com.au

[coughy]

for that money i can sell you mine and it works

Hey leon,

Do you know exactly what tyour mechanic did to fix the turbo lag? I got the same problem crossing traffic, roundabouts and every bloody time i put my foot down, i just don't move very fast for a few seconds then nearly slide off the road :/

"SW Diesel Pro + Boost unit not only increases Fuel pressure, It also adjusts the boost pressure.
This combination means that we can give you the massive power increases whilst keeping exhaust gas temperatures as standard."

And each smoke box comes with a free Unicorn

Only when it's not laying golden eggs.

[Overbank]

Ha! Yes I've since given the chip idea well and truly away. Ecutek tune for Christmas!

[Headley]

Lol i'll take that as a no then

Hi guys,

Had to pull in to the servo to change a headlight globe, this guy came up to me and asked if i needed a hand, i said i was ok with it. We got talking for a bit and he seemed to know quite a lot about my Triton series (MN). I asked him a real "stab in the dark" question:

How can i fix the turbo lag?

He said to fit a catch can to the turbo, empty any oil that may be in the air intake plumbing and to blank off the ERG? Anyone know about this?

[L200Shogun]

Maybe he didn't really know that much about MN Tritons.

Yes fitting a catch can can be a good idea but for other reasons

[MN Driver]

I have a mn 2011. I have added a catch can, but that is to catch oily mist that would end up in the intercooler, but its good to have. Cleaning out the intake manafold (if dirty) will make a big difference. I personally went for the remap, which has given me a lot more power, torque etc. With that done I didn't have to block off the EGR or use a cable to help stop fault codes pop up. (correct me if I wrong).
With the remap there is virtually no oil in the catch can. I was one of the best things I did. cost me $1250 from opposite lock.

Do you still have the standard exhaust system?
