Hey, Im in need of an rb25det in good condition. Long Motor would be preferred. Pick up Victoria [emoji4]

That's the wastegate, struggle to get it off but I will have it off tommorow

I'll take the wastegate off tonight and have a look. Thanks for the help guys. Turbo kit described "good working order" ?

It's got nothing. I gave it a boot full and still no turbo, I checked the intercooler piping 2wice before starting up Could it be the standard solenoid as I have just unplugged it? Also because the wastegate is set to 19psi? When I give it a good revving and back it off the wastegate isn't doing anything.

I haven't tested the piping on the inter cooler but will tonight, it's a t3/t4 eBay ones. I would be able to feel it/hear it if it was the inter cooler piping???

Car is drivable and blow off valve is working, feels like I'm driving a non turbo car, it's not shuttering or dropping off when accelerating

Hey guys, I've recently installed a top mount turbo kit I purchased off eBay a while ago (2nd hand). Since I've installed the kit I have no boost, it's an oil feed only turbo with a 46mm external wastegate, I've plugged the water lines up and doesn't leak. I've put the manual boost controller between the turbo and side nipple on the wastegate. I have the fitting on the top of the wastegate venting to atmosphere and just plugged up the vacuum port that goes to inlet manifold. I've unplugged the boost solinoid and taken it out (plug just sitting there) I was set to believe the setup was running 19 psi, I have the stock ecu in at the moment till I can get the apexi. Wastegate spring too high? The boost gauge is not boosting past 0 Beside all that I have touched anything else Any help would be good.

Na it hasn't always idled rich, it just dropped off completely when It was driving.

Oh and on the 3rd time of stopping and starting it the starter motor has died. 2nd one this month

Yeah placed my hand up near the exhaust and it had hardly nothing (remains of what was built up) I did have a aftermarket remapped ecu in it.

Well I was just looking threw all my stock parts in the shed and found my old ecu. I decided to plug it in for fun to make sure it wasn't it, bingo it works!

Could someone help with a link to check boost leaks, all the videos I have seen you have to have the car running which I can't do

Yeah I have gone over the whole engine bay, could this be the work of a dropped coilpacks? It's just weird how it was fine at the start then all turned to crap at the drop of a hat.

I sprayed it around some vacuum hoses to see if it would alter the rev, I've had a vacuum leak before when the boost controller bearing fell out and it seems different.

I just had a look under the bonnet and just sprayed a little bit of start ya barsted. It started and stayed running, running very rich though. It sounds like it missing really bad instead of hunting for an idle. Fuel pump is working fine too.
