kingy_06 Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Just wondering, im looking at buying a 32 and ive test driven a few. The one that i test drove today had a 25 turbo on it. However, whenever i gave it some, the turbo would wind up and then around 4 grand, about 5 psi on boost gauge, the car would stop accelerating though the turbo would go crazy and fully wind up. What is this, how do u stop it? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/117944-32-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellie Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Easy, don't buy it! Seriously, If they're trying to sell it like that, something smells sus and would probably be well worth steering clear of! And you'd have to ask yourself how long this has been allowed to occur and what damage it has done?

kingy_06 Posted May 15, 2006 Author Share Posted May 15, 2006 yeah wasnt planning on buying something running like that! Was just curious cause ive heard that when you upgrade to the 25 turbo u have to upgrade your fuel pump, not sure Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/117944-32-help/#findComment-2170010 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WazR32GTSt Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 its hard to work out exactly what you mean i interpret it as at 5grand the turbo heeps spinning but runs out of power? if so, this sounds like the stock turbo, not an rb25 turbo... also, is it 5psi or 5 on the stiock gauge? the stock gauge reads in mmHg and 5mmHg is equivalent to about 9.5psi either way, if you are not happy with the car, don't buy it cheers, Warren Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/117944-32-help/#findComment-2170043 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingy_06 Posted May 15, 2006 Author Share Posted May 15, 2006 yeah, like u said, at about 4 - 5 grand (rpm) the car looses speed, however the turbo keeps spooling up and then when i back off the bov goes off! On the stock gauge, it is about half way between the half way mark and the 7. not sure if that makes sense Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/117944-32-help/#findComment-2170061 Share on other sites More sharing options...
