Hey all,

Just thinking of things i need to know before i get my R32, okay lets all close our eyes and pretend we have been cruizing around in our Skylines, the turbo is exhausted and is full of hot oil, then stupidly enough you stall it, my question is if you stall your car after high rpm, then quickly start it back up, will the turbo still be safe, or will it be too late?

I also scarred about getting use to not turning it of str8 away after use, although the Turbo timer will help...

did any1 else have this problem when they first bought thiers ?

or should i just throw a sticker on the steering wheel with "THINK" imprinted on it? ... :D

Cheers all.

I did that once to my old car (not a skyline, obviously) but, anyway, after I did it, it tore up real bad and we sold it back to the guy who gave it to us. The engine was coming out in pieces, and I DID IT----HAH!

Anyway, the guy just got a new everything for it and painted it the U.S. Flag, which looks like shit (the paint on the car).

I doubt you'll have any issues about getting used to the car running after you stop! if it has a turbo timer then there will be no hassles as you wont be able to forget cause the timer will always work when you turn the car off!!

SO, in saying that, if you have a turbo timer, then if you do manage to stall it after a high rpm run then the turbo timer will keep it going anyway, therefore no issue!!!

but even if you did stall it without a TT as long as it is restarted then given time to cool down, there "shouldn't" be any issues with the seals in the turbo!!

dont fret man, just buy it and enjoy :D

Yeah, a mates is hooked up through Handbreak, ANY pedal and also gear selection.

Handbreak should be enough for a Turbo Timer setup i think.

But more on topic, your turbo should be fine, it just needs a period after it has been run hard, to flow oil through it and cool it down.

    • Yeah so N1 and any other larger than factory pump are pretty famous for pumping the sump dry...obviously we don't often get to spend 20 or 30 seconds at high rpm/full noise on the road so I'd still be suspicious that is what is happening here.
    • You are also getting pressure dips on gear shifts. They're just not dipping as far, but they're dipping quite below the amount of oil pressure you should be seeing, for how much RPM drops.   It quite little could be the oil pressure relief valve is starting to stick open a little/is slow to close.
    • Can you log battery voltage, and TPS, and put all four of those into a single image (even as split graphs)?   The oil pressure drops aren't following RPM as such. I'm intrigued if you may have a ground loop between different sensors. With the engine not running, log your sensors and for example cycle the throttle pedal. See if any sensor values flutter or move about. This won't be a perfect test either as the ECU won't be cycling all of its actuators like it would be while running. What EMTRON do you have? Do you have a link to the wiring guide for that ECU?
    • What logic functions do you feel are missing from the Haltech that others have? Is there a limit to how much logic you can string together? By limit, I mean it's like only a single level or two levels of Boolean logic. Realistically, AND, OR, and NOT, is really the only logic you need and realistically, you can also do away with another logic gate of the three above . With those three you can build the full functionality of any Boolean logic you want.
    • Well that rules out the relocation theory, however with no load, you're still getting 1.5bar of oil pressure. Can you present that data in a scatter graph over longer period? Would really highly the anomalies. Wish Haltech could do that.
