Hey Guys,

What a sad sad day it is today. Blown Turbo, pinched nerve in my neck  :O

Ok, so basically on a budget of $2000 what is my best and easiest option to get it back on the road again?

Cheers,

Chris

GCG ball bearing hi flow, very similar response to standard, up to 265 rwkw, more power EVERYWHERE on all 3 RB's I have fitted them to. Bolts back up exactly as it came off, no making stuff, buying extra bits, things that don't line up etc etc.

:) cheers :)

Yep new turbs is the best bet, youll prob need a bit over 2k to cover it with labour costs unless you are gonna put it in yourself. Check Nengun.com and get a direct bolt on kit like an HKS GT RS or you could buy another standard turbo for around $500 of these forums but thats no fun.

How did you blow you turbo? Too much boost??

what a mofo, eh AMS? Man that sucks big time. Bad luck to you, you've only just got it! That must really shite you off, but dont let it get you down.

$2k go the GCG hiflow. With the R34 GTT 'cooler you've got, some boost control & save up & do a SITC or similar and you'd end up with a top ride, with good power at a safe tune.

Running 10psi, but it was spiking to 12psi. Now they said that there is a boost cut at 12psi which when it hits that, it cuts the turbo, the constant spooling every 500rpm caused it to overheat. So there we go. Fun for all

Cheers Brendan. Does shit me off. But my neck is killing me. Something about a ciatic nerve? Anywho, just rang CGC then. They are going to give me a call back and we are going to discuss a sponsorship of some sort. Fingers crossed. Should be damn quick when I get it done though

Is that 10psi with standard intercooler?

bugger, a spate of blown turbo's is upon us. i've just done 160,000km, i wonder when mine is going to go. i've been running 10psi since i bought it (15mnth ago) but have an fmic, hope it doens't go soon, i'm saving for the manual, don't want to have to get a new turbo.

but AMS, good reason to get a better one, one less upgrade needed later

When i got my FMIC and my vac lines were all screwed around, i was running 12psi with 14psi spikes.... damn the car pulled hard ...i loved lifting off boost :P

Anyway, its back to stock 7-8psi now, but to let everyone know, i picked up a screwed R33 GTST turbo for $150 delivered.... soon to be highflowed (after brakes and manual though :D)

Damn so you didnt have any R&R Problems? :)

Yeah my car did go bloody hard though!

Ok, so im pretty sure I'm going ahead with the CGC Highflow. So when I get it on etc etc and the car is up and running. What boost levels should I have then? Just leave it at 10psi? Or go for more? (Will have Jaycar gear by then too :))

Well, heres the deal

On 7psi the car is "fast". Then i have a 10psi map without a tune and the car is not as "fast". Then i had that 12psi/14psi map and the car was faster then "fast" without a tune. So maybe the total ammount of air was just overriding the R&R?

So these days, for daily i have it on 7. For drags on 7 and... yeh, 7 seems fastest.

Meh, I cant wait to upgrade the turbo and put the s**t back up there, with the pfc/manaul too - Alex=one happy chappy

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
