S13 Stock Rb26dett


Recommended Posts

Got a mates s13 which has a stock rb26dett and ECU. It idles fine and free revs fine. When driving flat foot it seems fine but is slow. When driving at constant speed and boost is around 0-5psi it starts to surge bad. Like when you back off the throttle with no BOV how the air rushes back into the turbos but it happens continuously while on the throttle. Cam timing is correct but for 20 degrees ignition timing the CAS seems to advanced. It back fires a poop load.

Any thoughts. Its a real pain in the arse to drive.

Its all good but isnt good. turbos where on their way out. There is now no rear wheels on either turbo, haha. Wierd though cause it didnt see over 10psi.

To asnwer questions though. Custom piping and single blitz atmo BOV

Well i pulled both turbos off today. Front is fine but the rear has lost its wheel completely. Did a compression test before i drove it home with a blown turbo and all come up at 160 -170 but #6 was 112 :D Will do another one later in the week.

Car ran like absolute shit, haha. My guess is O2 sensor sensors are buggery too. Had been running rich for a while before the turbo went. Mate has no cat in it either :/

So im thinking my mate should. Get a set of decent 2nd hand n1 turbos, new o2 sensors, new plugs and a cat.

You think it should be fine with having only #6 cylinder that low on compression??

Does the ECU need the sensor that taps in the exhaust around the middle of the car?

by the time you find and buy the used n1 turbos you might as well have just saved time and ordered some new garret bolt in replacements.

So 10% difference between them hey. Might try and make the rest 112, haha jokes.

My mates a bit tight he'll probably sell the thing before a rebuild is considered. Was thinking might get away with a hone and new rings.?...

    • I have a radium fuel rail on my Greddy manifold and used the supplied radium fuel injector to manifold adapters (The round green things pictured). I did always wonder if you could just go ahead and use the second lower hole like you're doing... Wouldn't thicker o-rings solve your issue?    
    • From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"
    • Hi all,  I have a older model of the Greddy Front facing intake on an RB25DET NEO Head. I've bought aeroflows fuel rail and injector kit (1000cc Bosche injectors) and I'm unsure if the fitment is correct. The injector o-rings fit in the intake hole but it's not snug. I can very easily rotate the injectors even when the fuel rail is mounted. The kit also came with multiple adaptors, they dont make it any more snug and using them raises the injectors up and i cant mount the fuel rail. I hope this makes sense I've asses a few photos.    Thanks so much guys. 
    • So, to run the 4g aerials to the booster, I had to get access to the rear bulkhead....bit of a mission. Hot tip, don't offer to help change the rear shocks for a mate with a v37.... Remove seat base, 2 clips that slide forward to release it the it lifts straight out Fold down rear seat (pull in from boot) The side bolster of the rear seat is not connected to the middle parts that fold. To remove unbolt at the bottom bolt then push it up off the top hook Then there is a plastic surround behind the seat back, 2 pop out clips, 2 bastard clips, some swearing at it is out Pop the rear seat latch surround off Remove door surround lower trim then side trim  Remove c pillar trim - 4 clips, pull inwards not forwards Remove metal brace - 5 bolts 1 nut Then you have got to the rear strut top...what a pain!
