There's ignition, there's fuel.... Blowing black smoke indicates a gross inlet leak.

I ignored the 3psi fact after I read ----

power steering failed and my brakes wouldn't work
"Fuel pump or fuel lines. No fuel = no go!!!

Warning lights on, brakes and power steering is only from the engine not running. They all need motor running to work properly."

What he said!!!

it also is blowing out black smoke...

black smoke = plenty of fuel.

when my cooler pipe came off i was still able to drive for another few hundred meters until i could find a place to pull over.

but the symptoms are there for a cooler pipe. "it started by then it would just turn off.... and it keep doing it.... it also is blowing out black smoke..."

When it happened in mine after I put my front mount on the car puffed out a big cloud of black smoke and struggled to idle. It gave me a scare as it had never happened to me before. Popped the bonnet and found the hot pipe had come off.

and then when the pipe is put back on, just hope that the plugs aren't fouled!

that's what happened when i blew off a cooler pipe.. had to change the plugs to get it to run again... (they were due for a change anyway and i had them there to change that week)

I've had mine let go.. I think its let go on every one who works on their car some time or another.

I was in a rush to take the car for a spin with the new turbo on it. :P

Completely forgot to do up the ic pipe to cross over hose clamp. Started to accelerate lightly, it may have hit 5-7psi or so and BANG!!! nothing, no acceleration. I dipped the clutch the car lumped over for a sec and died.

Tried to start the car; it would start then stall, wouldn't even idle.

Popped the bonnet and saw the ic pipe sitting half in the rubber half out.

    • You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."
    • Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.
    • Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>
    • There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day.
