Good evening Ladies and Gentleman.

I was just coming back from a little drive when I gave it a bit of a poke, maybe 75% throttle, probably making 13psi when all power was lost and a great plume of black smoke ensured.

I pulled over to the side and the car stalls at idle, I managed to limp it the 1km back home, whilst limping it would not allow me to rev it past 1500rpm without it coughing and spluttering.

Engine is a NEO6 with a newly (<500kms) rebuilt high flow turbo.

You can free rev the engine a bit, bit will stall straight on idle, thinking it maybe the AFM? it does read .05v on the SW check and does change voltage with a light rev though.

Hoping it's not the turbo as it's freshly rebuilt, AND I am supposed to be leaving for QLD tomorrow morning, grrr.

If anyone could shed some light it would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like you've blown a cooler pipe off

That's what I thought too, I checked for that...

But I didn't see the one that was blown off! oops

Thanks for that mate, seem like a bit of a goose now, but a now happy goose, I'll put that sucker back on and hopefully we'll be laughing.

I am moving to Queensland, leaving tomorrow actually, I've heard good things about ERD, I'll give you a call when I need work done, thanks mate :)

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      R12 has not been not available for....decades now. Propane is not a great replacement. (I mean, it's a great replacement, but it is a bit too flammable). R134a being the only way to go forward with an R12 system. The design pressures etc, are close enough to R12's to work. The ability to move heat around is close enough to R12's to work.

      Out of curiosity, what's the reason for converting? I think @R3N3 might have the Frenchy's kit in the R33? I somehow think of you as the ambassador for realistic and clean street-driven setups nowadays

      V35 Overheat + Coolant Boil & Overflow + Engine not Starting

      By V35_Paul · Posted

      careful when running the car after a boil over. Ive heard you can lose enough coolant that it won't show the right temps because of too much air in the system (or something like that). Make sure the levels are good before trying again.  Maybe a mobile mechanic can come have a look with their scan tool ?

      OK, just for some extra clarity - there is more than one option at Frenchy's. 1. You can buy the whole kit - with or without the actual compressor. The whole kit includes mounts, hoses, condensor, etc. That's either ~$2200 or ~$2800. No surgery required with this option. 2. You can buy just the bracket (~$600), or the bracket with the compressor (~$1200). Either of this or the above option "without the compressor" is if you already have an Echo comp or you are able to source one locally. Whatever the case, in this option, you will need surgery done on your hoses to adapt to the new compressor. When I said "the Frenchy's kit", I meant the whole kit in option 1. It is obviously somewhat more $$ than a $1500 OEM compressor. But if I had to spend $1500 on an OEM compressor, I would certainly consider spending double that to renew and significantly update everything forward of the firewall. Another option is to rebuild your original compressor. My R34 comp is currently dead and I will be most likely doing that to it if the spare one in the shed is also leaky.
