hey guys, finnaly after over a month got my r31 with the rb20det conversion done, got fmic ready but not on the car yet so its just piped direct from turbo to engine. i know it not good to run it this way but its temporary till i get my next day off. its been running fine, crept it home and to work hitting at most 1-3 psi most of the time spent in vaccum. then just as i got home, noticed it stopped producing boost, boosts up to 0 psi???? andy suggestions?? could i have fryed my turbo or should it be ok with no intercoooler driven gently???

Check all the pipes, maybe you've popped a pipe off somewhere...

THEY ALL LOOK GOOD, COULD THE TURBO BE STUFFED FROM OVERHEATING?? IF IT WOULD OVERHEAT DRIVEN SO GENTLY??

correction!!!!!! THE CAR IS PRODUCING BOOST OK, JUST TOOK IT FOR A RUN, BUT IF IM IN NUETRAL WHEN I REV IT IT WONT BOOST, AND I AM REVVING IT TO LIK 4 GRAND, FOOT DOWN 3/4 OF THE WAY BUT WONT GO PAST 0 PSI???, ONLY WHEN IM DRIVING???

Yeah dude you won't really get a reading on the boost gauge if there is not much load on the engine. The most you will get is about 1psi or so but even then you will still have to rev it to redline to even get that. If you have a atmospheric venting BOV you will still hear it vent though because there will be pressure built up in the intake.

    • I used the radium thing, makes the whole parallel assembly a lot more compact compared to any other way of doing it 
    • Racetronix also sells those ethanol content sensor bypass blocks. Adapter, Flex-Fuel E85 Sensor High-Flow Bypass, In-line No Sensor (ADF-FLEX-NS): Adapters - Flex Fuel | Racetronix Ethanol content sensor are originally designed to be on the feed line. These bypass blocks are meant to be ran in the feed line and not return. The continental ethanol content sensors have a 3/8" ID and not 5/16". This is why they are ran on the return line directly in conjunction with a low threshold sampling value VS in the feed with one of these blocks.    Haha we think alike, I used both original feed/return for 8AN feed, and one of the Hicas lines as a 6AN return. I also capped off and left the other Hicas line as a spare. 
    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
