Snapped the little adapter on my front turbo yesterday trying to bolt on a new twin turbo pipe. Ive glued it back together using epoxy but not sure if itll hold given the temps the compressor outlet might reach.

Anyone have a spare they want to offload or know where I can get a replacement (fleabay doesnt have), or anyone think the epoxy would hold? Im booked in for a retune next week but dont want any issues on the day :S

that's a whole lot of wrong going on up there....

The part would be available new or secondhand... new, try Kudos Motorsport... 2nd hand, try any import wrecker.

... funnily enough, gaskets are available too.

STOP USING FKN GASKET MAKER GOOP AND POXY FKN GLUE!!!

or sell your GTR cheap to someone who will appreciate it.

Cheers

the pics above only show the goo, I was however using it with the gasket (the stuff smudged everywhere when I was pulling off the pipe).

dont think silicone is heat resistant enough to withstand the temps the turbo outlet would experience

I hope that the silicone you used was oxygen sensor safe stuff.

The other thing is......a gasket on those surfaces would not likely need ANY sealant, and if I was to use sealant I wouldn't use silicone. There are many proper gasket selants out there, all of them 100x better than silicone.

Exactly, I hate using silicone sealant with gaskets so I use some different products that are much better and safe for oxygen sensors.

There is silicone products that is heat resistant up to almost 300 degrees which is plenty but in my opinion there are better sealants out there with much less mess.

    • Ha ha ha, this stuff they had was installing Toshiba PLCs that were made some time in the 1990s, and they were replacing GEM80 PLCs. To let those two talk (staged upgrade along a ~1.2km long building that was split into 4 sections), was a bunch of WinXP machines running Java gateways... There was no way to put something like ProfiSafe in... Most of the HMI machines were WinXP, with Java program, with a custom button board emulating a keyboard... About the only buttons in the operator stations that went direct to the PLCs was the eStop. There was some interesting design stuff in that place...
    • Stock bypass valves are good for plenty of boost.
    • Check for fuel flow out of the outlet end of the rail. Check for spark. Try to start with aerostart (or pressure can brake cleaner or similar solvent in a car) prayed in through TB. If you have fuel and you have spark and it will fire on substitute fuel, then seriously suspect that E85 sitting for ages in your fuel system has destroyed something and put it in your injectors.
    • Nissan stock oil pressure is typically about 1 bar at 1000 rpm plus about 1 bar per thousand revs on top.
    • Luckily for safety applications, with dedicated links not being used for any other traffic, you simply run ProfiSafe (or an equivalent safety comms protocol from other vendors) over the top of ProfiNet (if that's what you're using, or Ethernet IP if you're stuck in the world of American PLCs and not verking vis ze Chermans) and the redundancy is more about being able to know that you need to cause a system diagnostic lockout because you've lost one of your comms channels, rather than not knowing that you've lost your only comms channel. Granted, heartbeats and all that are possible and useable and all that, but some safety applications are are so time critical that you might not be able to afford a few milliseconds until the next check.
