Fellow Skyliners,

Just wondering if any one has ever spun the rear wheel off their standard Turbo i've heard of this happening with the R33 series 2 turbos and R34GTT due to the ceramic rear wheel i've been running bout 12 psi for ages and just fitted a front mount in the last couple of weeks took her for a cruise tonight and noticed it was playin up a lil when i hit boost comin home it made a noisy pop noise and since that its runnin like a dog and not boostin at all pretty sure i've spun the rear wheel off but just wondering if any of you have done the same thing ive heard this is pretty common for a standard turbo runnig exesive boost but if any one has had the same syptoms/fate can you share your experiances with me

I will pull the turbo off on the week end to confirm what i think but whats your experiances with blown ceramic wheeled turbos guys???????

What part of the exhaust does the impeller end up getting court in? I do have a dump pipe, high flow cat and full 3'' exhaust any help appriciated.

Have you checked all the hoses???

Intercooler piping???

Sounds like an intercooler pipe or a hose has come off

Good luck :yes:

Had a quick check n have had a loose hose before you can still hear the turbo boostin but now boost is not present at all this time thats why im leaning towords the rear wheel spun off

Doesn't really sound like blown turbo, if you did blow it, it should just drive fine, but have no boost.

If the rear wheel was gone, you would not hear the turbo doing anything, because it wouldn't be doing anything.

Check AFM plug, close check over cooler hoses etc.

Do you know this for sure has this happened to you or a mate before just lookin for a heads up before i pull her down on the weekend??

It doesn't sound (from your description) that the turbo has fully blown or else there would be no instance of flutter... I think it's something else... checked your hoses, wastegate connection and intercooler piping... would it be an engine problem perhaps?

oh yes... yes it has happened to him.... only a few days ago :yes:

ever had this happen to any one you know man? Im freakin that it could be something more serouis?????????

Surely its happened to someone else B4

G day mate how are ya

gott no flutter or boost what so ever only got a car runnin rough as

How ga go with your wing?

Well my turbo shit it over the weekend, but it didn't shoot the wheel off, it completely seized. My car still runs perfectly, it is just very gutless.

If your turbo was missing the rear wheel, it would still run nicely, should be better than mine too as it doesn't have a wheel in the exhaust that isn't moving.

Either way, think about it, if there is no rear wheel, what is left to drive the compressor? If you can hear it spool, or you get any positive boost at all, your rear wheel is still there.

Man ive got nothin no boost no positive pressure at all thats why i reckon its got something to do with the turbo, that makes sense hey??

it does run, but like crap the motor that is but cant hear the turbo at all and boost gauge shows no positive boost what so ever

(- Boost , There's No Boost, No boost here)

how about you list your mods here and we can make some assumptions.

Running 12PSI (bleed valve)

Trust Pod Filter

Front mount cooler

Dump pipe

Hi Flow Cat

Full 3'' Exhust (with cannon)

Extream HD Clutch

every thing else in the way of the motor is standard series Two items i.e. standard ecu, pistons, rings etc

Oh my mistake, misread a few times and thought you said you could hear it spool and that it still boosted a little somehow? :yes:

Still, sounds a little odd that it would make it run like crap, unless R33s are different, mine still runs perfectly normally, it just chokes up at around 4000rpm, which yours shouldn't do as there would be nothing in the exhaust.

If you did lose the rear wheel, it will be stuck in the cat, so rip the dump off first and see if there's a wheel/bits of wheel in there.

Salad thanks im really hopin thats all it is i was hoping to hear from someone that had the same thing happen to them to see how thier 33S2 ran after spittin the wheel off just for peice of mind .

G day mate how are ya

gott no flutter or boost what so ever only got a car runnin rough as

How ga go with your wing?

hey mate - if you get no fluttering sounds that means the turbo is not functioning at all - my mate's S15 had similiar situation - I think either your Turbo's disengaged itself (connection-wise) or it's blown. sorry to hear that mate, it sucks I know.

Yeah good thanks - after I got my old R33 GT-R wing damaged, I wanted something different and have stuck with the R34 Nismo Wing (without sides) on my R33 it looks tough as... so yeah, very happy with it.

let me know how you go mate...

ifs its running crappy, it could be running rich as well...does it make a rough sounds after 4500rpm?? lower the boost down to 7-8psi and go for a spin if its smoother , ur just running real rich.

also look at teh stock boost gauge, when u plant it , if it only sits on the vaccum side and not boost thats an indication that ur turbos gone

Well Lads n Lasses got a chance to pull the dump pipe off last night n guess what the rear impeller is goneskis it has shatted into little pieces n came to rest in the front of the cataletic converter so thanks heaps for your advice guys im glad its nothin major so high flow n steel wheels look out here i come.

^^^ :P

SXY-33R: Bad luck with the turbo, have a look into the Sliding Performance highflows, heaps of people seem to be having good luck with them and pulling some pretty respectable numbers. And at under $1000, it's definitely worth a think about :mrt:

    • Jap premium will be 100 RON. You should use 98.
    • The exhaust gases are at their highest temperature as they leave the exhaust port and enter the manifold. They cool as they flow through the manifold because they transfer heat to the manifold and the manifold loses heat to the surrounding environment. Thus, inevitably, the exhaust gases are cooler as they enter the turbo compared to when they entered the exhaust manifold. So, yes, the exhaust manifold can easily get as hot as the turbine housing. Having said that, you will generally see the highest temperatures where the exhaust gases have to slow down or they are concentrated into one area - which is usually the collector on the manifold and in the turbine housing, because the gases slam into the metal at those places, increasing the convective heat transfer coefficient and transferring even more heat to the metal than they might just flowing past elsewhere. Exhaust manifold heat shields are a good idea - certainly for the stock manifold they are there from the factory. People seldom have anything like that on a tubular manifold because they are hard to achieve. Some might wrap a tube manifold with fibreglass tape - but this has a reputation of leading to cracked welds. The best case is generally to put ceramic coating onto the manifold to prevent it getting as hot (internal coating) and radiating/convecting heat into the bay (external coating). All the real heat from a turbo comes from the exhaust side. The gases entering are at ~800-900°C and the steel/iron gets nearly that hot. The compressor side is only going to heat the charge air up to <<200°C (typically not much more than 100°C). So that's nothing, by comparison. The compressor is not a significant source of engine bay heat.
    • Late to the party, specifically joined this forum as I just bought one of these and this thread has been a gold mine of info. If the OP is still around, mind if I ask what gas you been putting in yours? Mine has a Japanese sticker in the cap saying premium but it seems to get way worse mileage on premium (95) than 91. I always thought it was meant to be the other way round🤷 I do think Nissans claimed "6l/100km" is a bit fantastical 😂
    • Does exhaust manifold get hot as turno exhuast side? I have a turbo cover to managr heat in the engine bay but  nothing is covering the exhaust manifold before turbo   i know as turbo does compress air, the temp does go up however does that mean exhaust manifold would be as hot?
    • It's excellent but I'm still breaking it in so I'm not 100% sure where it'll end up. I would say it's about 15% heavier than stock and the smoothness of the slip zone is quite progressive but you need to be a little patient compared to stock or it'll bite hard and stall. Stock I got away with absolutely horrid clutch control. Like I said before I couldn't even tell where the clutch would grab when it was stock so releasing way too quickly without enough revs it would just slip and the revs would drop lower than ideal but that would be the end of it. Currently there's a bit of a nasty clutch judder if I don't apply enough revs + find the exact wrong point of the slip point in the clutch pedal but it feels like it's slowly resolving as I drive it more. I would not recommend the competition clutch unless you really need the extra clamp force. I think this clutch combined with the Nismo operating cylinder is going to be exactly what I want. Enough bite that you need to remember the release point to avoid stalling or rough shifts, but progressive enough that it's not hard to drive by any means and not heavy at all. I tried a "super single" clutch on my friend's 997.2 Turbo 6MT and that was absolutely horrid. It runs an electrohydraulic power steering pump for the clutch power boost so there's zero feedback in the clutch pedal and there was a horrific clutch shudder well after break-in due to the lack of marcel springs or hub springs in the friction disk. It felt like the slip zone was the thickness of a single toe twitch as well so it was almost impossible to avoid stalling it unless you gave it a ton of revs and just dumped the clutch instead of trying to be smooth with it. I was terrified of pulling out in front of traffic. I have also tried some kind of "super single" on an EK9 and that makes this twin plate Coppermix look like a stock clutch. Releasing the clutch pedal even slightly too quickly feels like you're getting rear-ended. The pedal is extremely heavy as well and there's no vacuum assist like the GTR.
