New turbos, limp mode PLS HELP
Today I finished up my RB two and rod bearing job, and now when I drive it after about 2-3 minutes of driving it will go into limp mode. Codes are boost pressure control deactivation(3100) and knock sensor 2 (not sure the number). For the few minutes the car isn't in limp mode the car feels faster than it used to, and seems to run fine. I would post log but it was raining today. Seem a few people talk about some sort of dme software update that helped. Any ideas ?

“Feels faster than before” Don’t rod bearings have a break in period?
Either way, 3100 is A result because of the knock. Engine trying to protect itself. I’d be swapping that knock sensor. If that don’t fix it. You might be actually getting knock. |

I looked into a break in period and some people said 250 miles and some people said just drive it, I was not redlining it, just getting into boost. Any way to tell if the sensor is broken forsure ? And I don't see how id be getting knock when the bearings were just done.

If you started having issues right after the new rod bearings and turbos ...... Chances are the issue has something to do with the new rod bearings or turbos.
Are you running a custom tune? If not, what tune are you running? The MHD tunes won't work with aftermarket turbos. More info need s to figure out what's going on. Can you take some logs?? |

Also I'd like to add that I messaged my tuner and he said he doesn't think the 3100 code is related to the other code, being that I could only hit around 8 psi. He thinks I have a boost leak.

Also I don't believe it's knocking at all, there was another post just made by someone who uploaded videos and everyone said it was 100% rod knock. My car sounds nothing like that, it does sound slightly different than it did before. I assumed it was because the engine is breathing more air, but it doesn't sound anything like the way that video does.

I would look at all the vacuum and boosted connections.

Yes I torqued and used assembly lube and the old bearings were okay but I'm glad I did them, the only thing I didn't do was soak the bolts in oil

What I mean by I did it myself is that the engine was not knocking before I put new bearings into it, now it is. I must have messed something up but I'm not sure what it could have been. I'm thinking I caught it early enough to pay someone to just swap the bearings but I don't know..kind of at a loss at this point.

Let's say none of them are lose and one of them spun, what are the chances my engine is toast, car has been driven about 12 miles since I did the install. Also there is a fair amount of metal in my filter, nothing crazy, I'm not sure if this is normal for new bearings tho

Yeah, if you have metal in the filter, you've got some issues. sounds like you might have screwed something up with the bearing install. Did you accidentally use oversized bearings?

This is the perfect example why most people should probably just leave their rod bearings alone, just like you said... The old ones were in good shape.

I am not sure if anyone can say yay or nay without you tearing it down to see exactly how bad it is. What happened between your car feeling faster than it used to, to having a spun rod and metal in your oil filter within 12 miles though??
