Fourtrak Turbo

When the turbo kicks in is it noticeable in these vehicles?
It always has been in other, faster cars I have owned, but I never feel anything in the Fourtrak.
Cheers.

Yes deffinatly in the one I had. Pull away flat as.. until about 1500 - 2000 rpm when a giant hand tried to shove you into the back seat. Good fun for making the back end step out on round abouts. Biggrin

Thanks Nev.
At Daihatsu tomorrow for them to check.
They said they have never replaced one which I find hard to believe.

Been to Daihatsu who say Turbo is fine.
They say the pump probably needs adjusting as it is a bit sluggish and light coloured smoke comes out of the exhaust when pulling away with foot flat down.
I shall see on wednesday.

TURBO BOOST

Yes and no, it depends on the engine, early engines used to give the shove in the back feeling, later ones did not.

Early turbo engines used technology of the day, it gave that feeling as well as problems with vehicles breaking traction when off roading, this led to wheelspin, which could be dangerous in certain circumstances. Later models were subtly modified to prevent this phenominan from occuring by altering the progressiveness of the turbo's power delivery, they simply dampened the initial power delivery of the turbo unit, and altered the way the fuel was delivered. This led to a much smoother and more progressive power delivery, made the initial feeling of power less noticable, and ensured smoother and safer off roading with a minimal risk of breaking traction from sudden power delivery.
