Putting R33 Gtr On A Weight Loss For Superlap

dont want to run the risk of damaging the internal. this engine build was a no expense spared built up its not worthing running chopped out turbos and having the chance a wheel blade breaking off and going threw the engine.

engine and turbos only 2000km old i wouldnt call that driving it around for quite some time. 1500km of that was run in and driving it back to south aus. its only had 500km of hard driving if that.

have you contacted hypergear? he may be able to replace the dusted wheels for a better price, he seems to be that way.

im guessing that metal is either lodged somewhere int he intercooler or injested by the motor.. yet if on a budget if look at removing and cleaning everything and perhaps running with the turbos as is, as im sure you have been already for quite some time.. dont miss out on superlap... but make sure you flush the entire system out before you go any further..

i dont see the harm in using that turbo for now, provided its solid

that does look like welding dag, and coming from the bovs pipe would be the only way it could come from.

high pressure from the bovs blowing it thru that way, otherwise it would have never made it to the AFM

i smell compo

3 seconds is about all you need for it to injest something once started, so in hindsight 2000km was quite a while. yet thats not saying anything about you, its merely a mistake, clearly not on your behalf.

as stated if they seem to be structurally solid and are marked rather than cracked they may last, yet thats your call

it only had 500km on it since the bov returns where custom made up and final tune done. and turbos where fine when the pipeing was off the turbos getting welded for the bov returns, so damage would have been done on the dyno getting its race tune.

not feeling the love for gtr's anymore. anyone want to buy one? lol

just a quick question thats got me stuped.

wouldnt the pressure be greader getting suked into the turbo than the preasure being released by the bov's retune into the turbos intake between afm and turbo? like how is it be posible for slag to try exit the afm before changing direction back in to the turbo?

BB units shouldn't rub against housings unless there is a bearing issue. If you an not feel any shaft play in them it means the wheels are broken from foreign objects. Which means they only require a new comp wheel which is a pretty cheap repair.

If the bearings are worn due to oil issues (which can only be this issue) then this repair will be very costly.

the problem with ball bearing garretts is when you pull them apart the bearings get dammaged. ie, taking them down to bare shaft and wheels.

they are not designed to be pulled apart. the bearing inner race is a very tight fit on the shaft. so to actualy balance them, youneed to factor in a replacement ball bearing cartridge. hence the cost. from a mass produced side of things its cheaper to just buy a new chra unfortonatly.

going to send off to get the new comp wheels in and balance wasnt as pricey as expected $300 a wheel then just balance on each of them.

no need to replace whole turbos there is no play or wear in them just chewed up comp wheels.

yeh didnt hear anything or even notice any power loss got 375awkw on the dyno only noticed because i removed the inlet to get the air con off. luck i noticed now rather than when a blade goes threw the engine or screwed the turbos completly.

i destroyed a comp wheel on an HKS 2835 with some blow by oil (no catch can setup)... the broken blades were found embedded in the rubber intake pipe! because I was on a skidpan at the time and on/off the throttle tuner reckons it spat them back towards the AFM as I came off the gas

pretty sure we only had to replace the comp wheel but I can't remember 100%

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
