the engine is pretty new and the rings have sealed well.. it has a catch can which is still empty after 4 years one actuator was replaced last time.. it had a small leak, and the other inspected and declared ok. good point.. boost reference is off the plenum. i might move that around the other side closer to the turbos.. would make sense. i will strip the turbos down myself this time and see what they look like inside. thanks for the sympathy hehe thats life i guess.. ill work it out eventually

last time it was dynoed was several years ago.. it made about 300rwkw (4wd disabled) and, ive just pulled the intakes off.. looks like both of them are failed. the front is worse than the rear. the bearings are noisy as hell, and the wheel is hitting the housing on the front one

trust split dump/front pipes.. high flow cat, and a greddy PEII exhaust.. no blockages. no other leaks in the intake that im aware of.. it was holding 20psi very nicely before the incident.

good advice.. i will check this closely

ive just had the 2nd rear 2860-7 turbo fail in my gtr in 6 months. both failures have happened at track days. the turbos have been running 20psi with a good tune. the turbo shop said the first failure was due to an overspeed. there were no signs of oil starvation.. just the shaft was bent. this was a 4 year old turbo with about 6000km on it. i havent pulled it apart after this second failure, but i can hear wheels scraping on housings. this turbo had done 600km. both times the engine has escaped unscathed. the only thing i can link between the 2 failures is the boost gauge hose popping off the fitting at the back of the throttles. is it possible that that little fitting could be leaking enough air to overspeed the turbo? this is frustrating Steve.

nice one mate! enjoy it well

alas, i wont be back for the bathurst supersprint.. i might go for a run on the nurburgring that weekend instead to make up for it things are going pretty well. ive got a job am having a good time. summer is approaching.. the days are getting longer and warmer! its quite nice.

ah my gtr has been garaged for 5 months.. thats what i get for moving around the other side of the world

hurrah! sold!
