Hey guys,

I've recently installed a top mount turbo kit I purchased off eBay a while ago (2nd hand).

Since I've installed the kit I have no boost, it's an oil feed only turbo with a 46mm external wastegate, I've plugged the water lines up and doesn't leak.

I've put the manual boost controller between the turbo and side nipple on the wastegate.

I have the fitting on the top of the wastegate venting to atmosphere and just plugged up the vacuum port that goes to inlet manifold.

I've unplugged the boost solinoid and taken it out (plug just sitting there)

I was set to believe the setup was running 19 psi, I have the stock ecu in at the moment till I can get the apexi. Wastegate spring too high?

The boost gauge is not boosting past 0

Beside all that I have touched anything else :/

Any help would be good.

It's got nothing. I gave it a boot full and still no turbo, I checked the intercooler piping 2wice before starting up :/

Could it be the standard solenoid as I have just unplugged it?

Also because the wastegate is set to 19psi?

When I give it a good revving and back it off the wastegate isn't doing anything.

Well, it would have to be opened a fair way to not allow any boost so I don't think it's your problem. Is it vented to atmosphere? If it is it is (!) heaps obvious if it is open a little or a lot. (Most if it and is in sentence!)

In this order are my guesses.

Dead or dud turbo

Boost leak.

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
