SO i need some f**king help, heres how it iz:

bought car after sitting 2 years and forged motor with 20k km on it, blown turbo rear housing (turbo removed & gone), seller lost interest and boought an f6.


came with an f6bb turbo i fitted and made lines n dump etc. I finally started it fine and then found it to be very smokey when revved. I pulled turbo intake off and BAM oil everywhere, took dump off and BAM oil everywhere.
runtime 5 min with 1mm restrictor. I figured well seals are f**ked for oil to get into front and back.
Prev owner said turbo only had 10k km on it and was very surprised & gonna look into it.

So i buy a r33 turbo just to get this car moving & regod and.............BAM same thing again oil in front and rear housing after few min startup and no restrictor and now im furious.....well at the time i was, but the guy gave me his word hed give me money back if it was blown as he didnt use that turbo.

NOW im thinkin do i have that bad a luck where i make 2 turbo setups work and there both f**ked ?? f**k this i should just buy a newby.

WHAT i did notice is with the r33 turbo the car was missfiring and i did notice oil was in cyl 5 from the looks of the head and manifold, so i checked the manifold from the f6 setup and there too was a bit of oil in cyl 5 there too, But surely that cant get into the front turbo housing.

SO WHAT DO YOU THINK ?

a combination of 2 f**ked turbos and oil in cyl 5 like the head gasket is f**ked or what.



SO i got a r34 op6 and made sure it was not f**ked, guy showed pics of upgraded turbo he put on and stocky was taken off in running order with 140k km on it so today i hope to fit it and see what up !!! wish me luck f**kers

Peace

Was the oil in the exhaust manifold?

A bit on cyl 5 mate & im thinkin that cyl was the one not firing, i got plugz n stuff but need to swap plug tool tomoz for superchep.

    • They usually get made by hand as part of any such swap.
    • Was planning on getting an R35 MAF and the adapter, should this be okay? Also any idea where I could get my hands on an intake pipe?
    • I mean yes, if you're starting from scratch on an unknown engine yes you don't need to be doing all kinds of math in the background but if you're doing relatively minor changes like AFM + injectors + boost up with some aftermarket turbos it takes quite a bit of math if you want to do something like maintain OEM fuel + timing tables but compressed and then a bit more load scale up top. I think I've spent too much time working on big engineering nightmares though so I'm a big fan of trying to constrain the scope of whatever work I'm doing as much as possible and trying to get it right before moving on. For example, a local owner just did the usual E85 + single turbo conversion to his R32 GTR and nearly burned his car to the ground doing some spirited driving up the local mountains. Turbine is unshielded and too close to the hood insulation. It's tough to balance "just get the project done" and "seemingly small details can cause massive setbacks I'm not willing to deal with".
    • No idea about Neil's steering wheel, but I have the same behaviour in the Stagea. I doubt it has ever been messed with so might be normal. Indicating to turn right at a roundabout and correcting even a little bit to the left to go around will cancel the indicator. Never considered it an issue other than it being a bit odd.
    • Does anyone know if this is off centered? Looks like it, when I indicate to go right, but turn my steering wheel slightly left it cancels (was always like that even before I started messing around with it) was wondering if anyone else has the same issue?
