Hey all i just went an got new turbo gaskets put in, an i believe something has gone terribly wrong!! The car on idle when it does makes a constant suckin noise coming from either the pods or turbos every 2-3 seconds.

When you get up it it could honeslty be beatin bye a scooter... (maybe) whilst doind 110km ever couple off seconds the car makes the same suckin noise an looses alot of power, also i was watchin the boost gauge an it constanlly moving even whilst the accelarator isn't being pushed, it honestl has got me f!@$ed.

Does any1 at all know wat going on.. the car makes 470hp atw but is a joke rite now... also when coming to a stop at lights it just shuts down an doesnt wanna idle.. could it be fuel/air or vaccum hoses been put on wrong?? i dont know

PLEASE HELP!

do you still run the air flow meters? if so the pods will have nothing to do with it i dont think. i think one of the hoses between the AFM and the turbo is loose or not on properly etc that would cause the jumpy boost etc as the afm would be telling the computer the wrong info. also it is possible a vacuum line is on wrong. maybe even to the wastegate if the boost is all over the place. check it all properly and if u cant find the leak take it to a mech. it wont be serious just a loose hose i reckon.

    • Yes, but it's not as easy as pulling a fuse on anything other than an R32. There's a routine you have to do, involving disconnecting a loom plug and bleeding down the preload.
    • A question for tuning awd, is it possible to disable the AWD? The stagea is an EA/T AWD, Toshi had said on a GTR, he was able to disable it and make it 2wd. Just wanted to double check if this was possible
    • 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...
    • 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
