Hello everyone,

Well on the weekend i was having some fun in my 33 gtst, after the turbo was glowing white my friend comments to me how he likes my neons under the car. Having no neons i immediatly go and lift the bonnet to find my turbo on fire. The o2 sensor plug had melted and caught fire on the turbo, as the cars still running turbo timer i poured water on it to put it out. After the fire was out and the engine shut off it wouldn't start again, it cranks, just wont start and run.

Im sure the engine will run without an 02 and on the first two atemps at starting it, it did start for a second but then died a few seconds after.

Any help would be greatly apprieciated, What could it be???

Well so far found the turbo is fine. got spark. got air.... don't have fuel. The pump wasn't working. checked fuse's, relay's.. all fine. bypassed everything and powered up the pump, it works.

Iam now going to fix the 02 sensor and if that doesn't work(which i dont expect it to) iam going to borrow my mate's ecu and see if mine if somehow stuffed.

It just seems funny that after an under bonnet fire the fuel supply has been cut...safety feature of the ems??

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

crap man, that sux bad.....

I woulda thought pouring water on it would do more damage because of the sudden temperature change. (like crack or something)

I'm no mechanic, so sorry I can't help, but have a free bump!

Good luck mate

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
