Hey guys

Just bought a r33 sII turbo, going to put it on this weekend. I was looking at it and noticed that the line from the actuator to the turbo on the stock rb20 turbo is different on the r33 turbo...It doesnt run back to the turbo.

Just wondering what other people have done. If anyone has a pic to show, that would be great!

Cheers, Josh

what i did was got a radiator out of an automatic commodore (they have an oil cooler in them) ripped the oil cooler out and cut the nipple of that the trans oil pipes connect to then drilled a hole in the metlal pipe that goes to the plenum and inserted the nipple in the hole from the inside of the pipe and sealed it with automotive silicone and put the nut (that held the cooler in the radiator) on the outside using a bit more silicone and bob is your uncle wastgate acctuator feed :blink: Oh and dude if you are taking your manifold off to change the turbo go and get new maifold studs and nuts, a new gasket, i know nissan stock them in S.A. and some easy outs coz at least 1 will snap for sure,i did mine and 4 snapped and one had already fallen out!

Thanks guys. appreciate the help.

I have also been told that for a quick to fit a T piece somewhere in the line that runs from the plenum to the standard BOV.

But wasn't sure if that would work...

NO WAY!!!! when you take your foot of the gas it will slam your wate gate shut hard as hell!!! it might even damage the diaphram in the acctuator because of the massive change from positive pressure to vac..

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Lithium · Posted

      Whoa, that's a name I've not see for a long time! Sorry to hear about the engine / turbo damage.  Fwiw with any engine problems it often really a case of just seeing what happens when it's apart, ymmv - I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the damage isn't even from the turbo failure, or possibly from a combination.  The airflow between cylinders isn't dead even, injectors can go off over time as well, with the turbos overboosting if you didn't have upgraded fuel system there could have possibly been a bit of leaning out - stock triggering is often a bit unreliable by this age too.  Basically its an old engine and a few things could have been going on, and you won't know how much work is needed until the engine is apart.

      I'm just shocked there's a euro driver on our roads who is thinking of other road users and not attempting to blind everyone. I wonder if Prank uses his indicator too...

      So whats the deal with the porous block VR30DDTT

      By Duncan · Posted

      Its hard to tell really. The Q50 owner's forum talks about it a lot and has quite a few people directly affected, but no idea what % of cars sold actually had the block replaced. Also, there seem to be 2 distinct issues which both get diagnosed by Infiniti as requiring a block replacement (no wonder they are going broke) 1. "Porous block" where coolant mixes with oil through thin or poorly cast parts of the block 2. Head coolant gallery plugs not sealing. If I was noticing engine coolant loss I'd start with cooling system pressure test (as always) and then I'd pull the cam covers and reseal the coolant gallery plugs on both side before worrying about a potentially porous block.  If neither of those did the trick it would be put in a second hand engine out of japan; I haven't checked pricing but I'm sure there are plenty around by now as they've been in production 10+ years

      To clarify what I posted above, I thought you both had a situation where it cancelled sooner one way than the other.....if it is reasonably even where it cancels in either direction that is probably normal (consider gentle movements like lane changes, you don't want it to need half a turn of lock to turn the indicators off)

      Son, in this country, that is a piece of Gyprock. f**king drywall. FFS! I also like the autocorrect of trailer to tablet. I was reading it and thing, "what the hell drugs is he on?" Then the photo made it clear enough.
