Car Not Boosting In Neutral?

[MANWHORE]

i reckon it's the clutch. IF it's slipping, it won't take load.

once you try and hit boost the clutch will just slip in a big firey stinky mess and you won't move anywhere.

a gt30 would kill an already worn stock clutch fairly quickly

to get any noise in neutral, you need to rev the shit out of it, hard and fast! you need to make a larger mass of moving air on the intake side so that not only does your boost register, but it also squeezes through the factory bov...

but none the less, the problem your having is normal, i have a feeling that when you had the new turbo fitted, it actually fixed the problem you had with the car before without you even knowing you had a problem...

which was most likely a flow problem...

also, fix your clutch before it gets too bad...

yea i really doubt its the turbo since ive had it fitted alogn with assisting mods ive driven it about 4 time in nearly 2 months, reken upgrading the clutch should do the trick ? and ty for more helpfull comments im still young and dont know a whole lot so maybe i wrote the rong thing in the thread title..

i gota gt30 internaly gated fitted, say a week ago before wat happened i could rev it in neutral and it was fine even when normal driving i cant hit boost at all and struggles to get to like 3-4 thousand revs. im trying to think if its the clutch or maybe i have a bigger problem ..

Lack of RPM has nothing to do with the clutch.

Take it back to the workshop that fitted the turbo and get them to fix what they stuffed up.

cheers

thats what i thought but didnt want to say it.. cause it could cost me more

[MANWHORE]

Actually, oops, I didn't write what I said above clearly. I agree with SK. if the clutch was slipping, the revs would rise like crazy bu the car won't move.

so if it's not allowing it to rev, it's something else

that something else is wats frustrating me

what size rear housing is it?

"even when normal driving i cant hit boost at all and struggles to get to like 3-4 thousand revs."

sounds like it might have too large an A/r

on the gt30

or there a restriction in the intake or exhaust or cat

how was the car driving before the gt30 was fitted

[Gazee]

GT30? hmm do you have the standard bov? or aftermarket?

[Sammie]

as i said before and will say it again this problem has only occured after driving it a week ago on my way to a igntion cruise here in perth i gave it a bit in 2nd hit about 5 thousand rpm then dropped rappidly after that is when i cant hit boost at all in any gear neutral driving nothing,

Check your wastegate maybe.. cos its internally gated could have popped the little thingomabob off the flapper from the actuator causing the flapper to be constantly open..?

just a suggestion

leaking exhaust manifold. The bolts tend to go at the 100K mark

hey hey... thats true aswell... could be that... could it be a vac line aswell? or nah?

Dear god is it school holidays or something?

Like Sydney Kid said, take your car to the mechanic that did the work.

Something is wrong. If it was the clutch slipping, the engine would be revving whilst not accellerating.

If your car is unable to rev normally and is not making boost, something is seriously wrong. Take it to your mechanic.

r33hvn that seems likea possibility

[Gazee]

r33hvn that seems likea possibility

which one? the wastegate part or the vac line part?

either way maybe you should take it to the mechanic and ask him to tell you whats wrong b4 he starts working on it... that way you can see if its going to cost you mega$$ or not.. possibly not... if the wastegate rod has fallen off the flapper its cos they didn't put that freaking little circlip on it...

if its vac line its a $20 fix maybe even less... either of the 2 its easy fiX bud!

anything else is beyond me...

boost no work in neutral

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AHAHHAHAHAHAAHAH

boostie no workie in nuetral buddy... Although I'm sure if this was asked on Nissansilva.com he'd get an answer more harsher than this now. So take it easy on him and lets not reduce ourselved to ns.com levels. lol.

[Pauly33GTS-t]

Sammie I had the same problem. It turns out my turbo blew. It is either the wastegate staying OPEN or there is no external wheel left on the turbo lol. check for white smoke please.

EDIT: I had the same problem but my wastegate was shut the whole time. ~boost.

Yes your ceramic turbo lost its wheels...

Not his GT30 that he fitted 4 weeks ago... and he said before that theres no smoke... so i assume it can't be that severe.. well he hopes not anyways

[Sammie]

ok guys ur gona think im stupid as most of u do already but i had a good look and i found one of my intercooler pipes has come off.. and that would explain what happened when i drove it that night as i was goin up in revs the nall off a sudden felt like a big release of pressure and turns out my piping has come off lol ...
