Blown Turbo

[Joelys33]

hey guys, driving along this afternoon given my 33 a bit of stick hit the limiter in 1st gear changed to 2nd, then wierd noise from blow off valve, then very wierd whining noise coming from turbo, kept reving it in carpark and noise never stopped, boost also dropped to?? had to get towed home dnt wana risk eny more damage, pretty sure turbo f*ked, but the wierd thing is i havent touched boost or enything and engine hasent even seen 100,000 kays yet?? its ok if it is screwed cause upgrading enyways, but wuld still like ur opinions b4 i take it apart. cheers

u = limiter king thats why

wish i was there when it happend, guess the gtrs is on its way soon then

p.s i will fight u for ur power fc

[Joelys33]

oh yer bro cnt wait for GT-RS, just gotta get funds!!! um yer mate bring it!! ive got a special hiding place for it lol, im neva letting go of that one

Increased boost isn't the only thing to factor into the equation when it comes to blown turbos.

It's possible that it wasn't being cooled/lubricated appropriately.

And the rev limiter is there as a fail safe, not a goal.

[Joelys33]

yer that was my other speculation to do with the lubrication/cooling side of things, cheers mate

plus hgow legit the 100,000 ks is PLUS was it boosted before you bought it? Judging by your nick you have a 33 so more than likely you may have a ceramic wheel which from record doesnt last to long anyone, a good option before you get a GTRS is to perhaps hiflow?

My car is comfortably making 340rwhp on only 15psi, could probably go for 18psi and crack a nice 360rwhp with very minimal lag.

Per4manz in welshpool will do a nice stage 3 rebuild for around 1300- 1400 depending on extent of damage

[Joelys33]

yer that is tru, my car in very good condition n i think kays are pretty legit but u just never no, but im guna park her up pull the turbo off an wack the gtrs on, i was guna go hiflow but ive had a hiflow b4 and wasnt very responsive, so yer my pride n joy will be out off action for a while. nope car completely stock, all ive done is put a front mount so yer. joel

No turbo timer? Do you thrash the f**k outta it and then turn it off while still hot?

Might be worth doing some reading up on how to look after a turbo car while you get the rebuild to save you from breaking your new setup (or more)

[Daniel R32]

Was gonna say that you might have just blown off a sillicone hose. . . but being stock probably not . . unless a clamp wasnt done up tight . . i know when i blew off my hose the turbo has a real high pitch whistle and no boost so i thought i did my turbo too. just have a close look at your piping . . there might be a spilt in the hose or just come off, its worth checking

[Mr. Keets]

lol ^ limiter king...100K hehehe....price of doin business. Guess'n your lucky you got that many out of it.

[Joelys33]

hahaha f*kin oath it doesnt!! i think it just decided to let go, oh well its just goin to make the modification process go quicker i need it bak on the road, HKS GT-RS on its way!

[rev210]

The ceramic turbine wheel is the likely culprit, boost the motor to over 10psi and you increase the risk of kissing it good bye.

The only other issue that may occur at the same time is getting a small amount f ceramic dust back into the motor, happens less on the Rb20/25's than the GTR's.

Ok if it's screwed? Maybe, or you might find a rebuild not far away.

[turboedsloth]

did it want to stall when you took your foot off the accelerator pedal after the noise started?

[Nick033]

i was under the impression that heat is one of the main things that can kill the ceramic exhaust wheel in the stocker, and that being close to or on the limiter wud create more heat then usual and shorten the life of it over time????

please correct me if im wrong im still a newb
