Pffft. And There Goes My Turbo

[Tangles]

how the hell did you manage to crack that banjo fitting?

lol I have no idea - was tight tight so maybe a pothole?

was all fine until trying to reach boost up expressway hill friday night, couldnt hold 0 psi without the car surging, turbo working on load and black oily smoke

so its split, oil is blowing thru the split onto the outside of the turbo (the leak i found) and forcing some excessive oil thru the exhaust turbine

so it ends up that the slide turbo is ok, but Ive ordered a new line set and a gt30

went over the intercooler pipes and they are 100% perfect, good tight seals and wont leak on 1bar

gt3071r or a gt3076r

6-bolt nissan Rb exhaust housing

$2150 plus lines

getting that sort of deal thru ATS, gave them the $300 worth of gear Id paid for (ceramic ball bearing pack, turbine shaft td05h & 16g.comp.wheel, 2x dead cores and jamesrb25's front/rear housing)

they've take that as the bb-pack and wheels were bnib, credited, and building the GT30r for me with oil line & waterline adapter

2k

[Tangles]

so, the turbo is ok to sell. best offer gets it

found another source - bongo, fmic pipe, original nissan ribbed black rubber pipe that sat in the chassis hole (in/out engine bay) was splitting

replacing and making good now

waiting on new oil line and GT30

then reinstalling

[dangerman4]

when will your new turbs be ready?

and are you saying that the stock black pipe had a leak in it?

[Tangles]

yeah had a stock rubber black pipe with a split. my bad

got the turbo yesterday, she's beautiful.

awaiting the lovely missus to come back with an 18mm C spanner to finish off the braided lines

then finish hooking her up. no rush just a little steady pace.

garrett core:

ready to go!

MASSIVE THANK YOU goes out to Adam (chef stagea) and Chris (kidafa) for offering to come over and help finish up.

Id arranged an mobile auto bloke to come out tomorrow for an hour or so, but Adam rang me and said he'd help out !

so I knuckled back down and got the turbo oil line on, did the manifold bolts up, got the block oil lead on tight and had a 15' C-spanner cut ready to access the turbo oil feed to tighten it up when the lads arrived.

quick iced coffee / woodstock & a chat and they got into it, wasnt much to be done and an hour later most was all good

dead battery and time constraints for the lads meant we couldnt start her up.

will tick the engine over in an hours time. check for oil/water and thats that

tune time, unless it needs some tightening or reworking, etc

so, cheers for Adam and Chris for their help. greatly appreciated. No knees means my hips and back take the load, and they're rooted atm.

big thankyou guys

[Madaz]

WD guys

you will see some fun so good buddy

don't forget to prime the turbo and needs a few cranks

[dangerman4]

where they driving 2 stag's the same colour? a rs4 and a 260?

if so i over took them on the express way this arvo, they were doing 80 in the hundred zone.

did you have a pic of the split cooler pipe?

how big was the split?

Yeah that would have been us in LAZY mode

No worries with helping out Brendan. How did it end up? Shoot me a pm with your number so I can save it.

[Tangles]

nice

yeah darren the hole in the engine bay airbox area had cut a slice thru the black original silicone joiner, after 12yrs

cheers chris, will do. yeah the battery was dead, was charging till 9 last night then went around the block, dumped oil, didnt do up a bolt that holds the stock water line (i took off earlier) onto the block.

heading out right now to grab some more oil, just a small bottle.

then will test again

booked for 2 weeks time for a tune, on the little drive around the block it belt completely different to the other turbo. wow. anyways got2go.

[Tangles]

bah !

now there is a split on the oil-return pipe underneath, from the turbo back to the block

dble damn!

[kidafa]

ehhhh does that mean everything needs to come off?

need more hands?

[Tangles]

ehhhh does that mean everything needs to come off?

need more hands?

cheers ! nah its all good. will get to it soon and take my time

will need to just take off the intake pipes (2+ turbo air pod feed pipes) and then will be at the bottom of the turbo to take off and replace the split oil return feed rubber line

no biggie, just a fair bit of oil pooling in my garage LOL

got my sons birthday bbq tomorrow, so will undo tonight and hoefully have replaced tomorrow night / sunday.

sigh*

[Tangles]

had it all finished yesterday arvo

GT30R + poncams is niiiiice

tune in 11 days time, so Im simply babying her atm.

[kidafa]

Good to here Brendan.

Did the intake pipe mod yesterday arvo. Think it made the induction noise less which is weird thought it would be louder with a metal pipe in the intake but its good less attention

[JMW]

Great to hear things are going well on the turbo front mate. Be sweet once its all tuned

[Tangles]

the turbo is pretty insane

2500rpm and its wanting to get into positive boost, 3000rpm and 10psi is up

3500rpm and 16psi is up

wow

set up the ebc for 13psi and 16psi

just want to be safe with the safc/sitc/remap and so far so good.

running really well and pulls significantly harder than what Id imagined it would.

[kidafa]

so when are you taking me for a ride? Or dont I want to as the end result will have a large impact on my bank account?

[Tangles]

yeah anytime !!

will be best to wait for next Thurs 21st, dyno tune day

but yeah you know where I live c'mon over

my guess is 220kilobums atm, so surely she'll crack 240kw on the dyno, 250kw perhaps if i bolt on the extra injectors/controller

damn tho, she's fine. time for a drive..... again....

[dangerman4]

ive got the 555 nismo's sitting here if you can find some cash before the tune.
