I Think My Cars @#$@#ed

[[[d a n n y]]]

I cant believe this has happened the next day i put my new rims on..

getting on the M2 i accelerated put the foot down.. car looses power whilst gearing down.

no power at all

i can hear the turbo spooling but it's making a wierd noise instead of the familiar high pitch noise...

the noise sounds like a electrical fan thats on it's way out everytime the turbo kicks in...

So far i 've checked the codes on the car and it seems the Air Mass Senesor is faulity and also have another code on the Manifold Absolute pressure.

ive ordered a new AFM but people whom had turbo trouble in the past please shed some light to me..

Do u guys think it's new turbo time??

[Jetwreck]

hmmmm without seeing I think it may be

[iamhe77]

+1.

Does it just make a high pitched sound or is it a sort of "Lllllolololololololololololo" type sound when under "boost"?

Not only that, but we had another M35 turbo go last week, exhaust wheel sheared itself from the shaft... Rumour has it, that is rather common... Never heard of it happening myself

(Let me know how you go Jase. Hope the info helped.)

Current definite state of origin score;

VIC - 2

NSW - 2 *Danny's is not a definite.... ....yet*

With stat's like that, it's confirmed the C34 is more reliable than the M35 and a much better car.

Thats why i stuck to an RB stagea... coulda gone the volvo looking new one, but f**k that.

[iamhe77]

Whilst I don't want to take this thread off on a M35 v C34 tangent... I am wondering how long an RB's OE turbo would last at 12-15psi... 100,000km's? Doubt it. Not to mention the timing belt... Don't you wish you had a chain instead?

LOL

I suppose that is why you are selling it.

Must be real happy with your C34, ay?

rofl fighting and such..

i've been doing some crazy research atm

seems like GCG turbos do the highflow job

anywhere else in NSW?

[Tangles]

Bill at ATS, Marion SA, had done the M35 garrett high flow with good results

[iamhe77]

umm, AXT Turbo in VIC high flow the M24N AND keep the turbo as was (no shortening)

[MyStag260]

Could be just on totally the wrong track here, but i have found with a manual car anyway, when you put power down get a whole lota noise and such but no power its clutch, not too sure how this works with an auto but could it be something there?

Hi Danny

I don't know if this any help to you but I have a spare turbo that I am renting (for lack of a better word), so you could get this rebuilt and then just do a straight swap on the turbo.

The change over cost will be $50, provided I am given a turbo with in tact housing on return.

Let me know if you are interested. Send me a PM.

Cheers

Andy

Danny - check your intake piping, you'll be pissed if you start pulling everything apart expecting a turbo fault & discover a loose hose clamp, or split pipe...

WRT to the RB OE turbo at 15psi - not very bloody long. But it's not designed to, whereas the M35's is (theoretically...)

Yes, I wish I had a chain I was brought up on the L/FJ series, and the double-row chains are a 'good thing'!

(don't get me started on the SR timing gear - the Nissan engineers were having an off-day when they designed that one)

This is rather common in the 'frog eye' WRX Subarus with the TD04, I know 3-4 WRX drivers who've had this happen, havn't heard of a NISSAN with the same issue though.

Simple, buy an NA M35 ALMOST as much go without the hair drier

And did you know it comes in manual, I have heard a few M35 drivers mention they wished there cars had a manual option

[zei20l]

danny you ordered new parts??

mate i dont use my car mid-week mostly, if you need any bits to borrow i dont mind lending them to test your car. the turbo might be a little hard but AFM, MAP sensors etc

lemme know

Danny,

i've always got my stuff done at turbo logic in the gong.. never had a problem in the years i've been using him

[iamhe77]

Hahaha!

Touché Josh.

My s2 turbo died at less kms than my M35 has now. The M35 turbo is likely very similar to the one used in the s2 stageas. Either way they are both ceramic and suffer the same limitations. The M35 only runs ~11 psi out of the factory so to my mind the only danger occurs when increasing the boost by either a boost guage or altering pressure somewhere in the system (ie. free-er flowing exhaust).

Of course there are some that are just unlucky, but that happens to the s2's as well (happened to mine at stock boost).

We could always run 7-8psi boost on the M35, but then we'd have to put up with s2 performance (just teasing - i used to own one).

Other than this I've yet to see or hear of evidence of any model of stagea having any "weak points" reliability-wise.

*cough* power windows *cough*

I really need to get this swine flu looked at

I never heard of this being a common fault with M35's...is it?

After a quick search I found 1 thread regarding this - the button still worked but just not the AUTO part.

Sorry Danny, offtopic...

Hope you get it sorted...
