Blown Turbo?

well recently my car has been running as if it has no power at all. last night i counted how long 0-100km/h takes (getting a g-tech soon but was bored). it was VERY VERY slow

on start up there is more than usual white smoke coming out the exhaust but a few cars do that

when i put my foot down it seems as if the car has nothing. it feels as if the car is struggling. the power doesnt feel smooth it feels like the car is jerking back and forth

i was just wondering is there an easy way to tell if the turbo is gone besides taking it off. i hope its just the turbo and nothing major because i have a gt2530 on the way. also would it be wise when taking it to the workshop to get the intercooler, turbo, injectors and chipped ECU installed to ask them to see what the problem is first? i mean i am willing to spend the estra few hundred $$$ because i dont want to realise that the engine has shat itself after i have spent money installing all the new gear on it

i blew one of my exhaust wheel off, car backfired alot, splutters around etc, and diddn't make any boost :)...

taking off the dump pipe or checking your cat for an impeller would be the only real way, or take off the intake piping and rev it see if you get the whistle of the air when revving, if u dont = probably no turbine...

check to see if it makes any boost would be the first way find out, check intercooler pipes etc and tap your cat with a spanner and see if it has anything in it ;), see if any have blown off...

      49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.

      Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf

      Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.

      Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.

      Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
