i think we have all had this problem m8

the other thing that will do it as well if your actuator arm comes off the waste gate you wont get any boost at all :-)

i think its a big inspection job going through all you IC piping as mentioned before, and undoing then redoing the connections so you know they are done correctly

takes a while but it could save you forking out for a turbo you dont need :-) worse case is ur turbo, if there is no smoke it just means u have not burst ur oil seals in ur turbo :-) so might get away with a cheap refurb of ur turbo

You know u can take off the intake pipe to the turbo and look for broken fins, bulk oil, or loads of shaft play back and forth, up and down. Its not hard to inspect. But do that after u have checked the intercooler piping silicone hose joiners

could try take off the piping to the compressor side of your turbo and manually spin it. if it spins then start the engine (on idle)and see if the compressor wheel is spinning with the motor running. no spin= no exhaust wheel.

if spinning then could be intercooler piping.

well, turns out it was a bearing issue in the turbo... i pulled it out this morning and took it to a few workshops... shaft is a little bent but even still, not much play, but the bearing has gone for sure... so its time for a new turbo... cuz i have all the money in the world to spend!!

Anyways, i think the thing that has pissed me off the most about this issue, is no matter who i asked, NOBODY could tell me why it is so damn expensive to rebuild a turbo.... NOBODY!!

Other than that, thanks alot for your help guys, if anyone has a 33 series 2 turbo or a neo 6 turbo.. please let me know...

Oh and ryhs... id still beat you!! lol

Thats some real bad luck, keep your eyes peeled for a second hand turbo.. im sure something will pop up.. go searching the for-sale section. I've heard of good condition R33 turbos going for $350. Anything you buy though claiming to be good condition, make it condition of sale that it passes an inspection by a turbo-savvy mechanic, that is unless you're confident enough to check it out for yourself prior to purchasing.

Good luck!

got a s1 turbo going for 250bux if stuck, but i think there is plenty out there at the moment. when i got my hi flow rebuilt it cost 300 bux just for the compressor wheel, without fitting it. parts cost lots of money when the have to do eleven billionty rpm

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
