Rb26 Compression Test Not Looking Good

Hi all,

Recently I blew the stock turbo on my BNR34, it dumped all the oil out of the exhaust and intercooler. I drove the car home (around a 10min drive). Turbos were changed to -9s and when checking the engine it had barely any oil.

Took it for a Dyno tune and had a compression test done, 1 and 3 didn't have the same compression as the others and was farting out of the exhaust. My tuner reckons the turbo blew some of the wheel into the engine. Just wanted a second opinion/has this happened to anyone?

Cheers

Harry

Time for a new engine or a rebuild unfortunatly.

It's common problem if the ceramic turbo's disintergrate. Ceramic can end up in your block/oil and eventually destroy your rings and other things.

Workshop definitely got things arse about.

Blown turbo = compression test BEFORE fitting new turbos.

This is hardly a new occurrence for an Rb26, workshop worth its salt would know this and prepare customer for the good or bad news.

Farkin oath!

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
