Tangles

I think Im out of the running now tbh.... need to check out my engine.

what a two faced liar I havent had a traffic infringment in a decade now, and here is a preaching-polly sitting on his high horse but yet is as guilty as sin. show him the door IMHO.

it isnt the turbo now looks to me like its from the engine bottom end may be going, cant tell, but here's hoping its just the oil pump then. anyone down south have a compression kit available to lend out? I should buy one but cant till this thursday (disabled pension fyi Kralster, feeding 4 ppl and a morgage on 400pf isnt easy dude) around $50 for a basic compression testing kit but put my last 50 yesterday into petrol lol ! so. all in all, I now think its the engine NOT the turbocharger

got to do mine very shortly, everything off around the turbo bar manifold/dump. oil around the compressor housing front/bottom area and underneath this front housing, blown oil seal I think.

cheers ken & andy tis' ok tho, pulled the pipes off everything to the turbo, cleaned afm pod etc, touch of oil as one pipe gets closer to the turbo (pre-intercooler) oil all around the underside of the compressor and around the compressor housing, looks like oil seal to me no shaft play to speak off, comp.wheel and intake look really good nick, so says to me its inside the turbo, oil seal... will take off the dump and drop the turbo from the manifold shortly, slow-drain the fluids. all ic-pipes look and feel ok for leaks; definately turbo / oil related.

ah ok hoping its that then....... will see tomorrow cheers

ah 'k cheers for the replies and ideas will check over in the morning and sort thru it all.

awesome news- hope everything goes great with little mans delivery etc. members, crows. hmmmmmmmmm. cant tho, pass this time, but cheers would have taken it up otherwise.

not a problem, cheers tho. none of the cooler pipes down low look out of place tomorrow will inspect everything.. not enough light now. 100% sure its not IC tho, felt ic-issues before but this seems different..... want to see the shaft(s) of the turbo.

Will do. letting the car cool down right atm, and will spend some time going over everything, put it up on the stands and search, but perhaps I'll start anyway to pull bits off this week. get to the turbo and have a good look. Just takes me time with no knees and lots of pain, so slow going but have to do it. Stag is coming off the road

Welll well well was feeling all fine after recent tuneup, gave her a service myself new plugs etc. driving home last night going up the expressway hill I had heaps of bad surging (1psi) couldnt boost anywhere near asper normal, and black smoke billlllowing out the exhaust (on boost only) felt bad, climbed up off boost in left lane. today driving, same thing. boost is bad (wound down the ebc to .3bar) as soon as it hits 1psi - 3psi it is surging, airflow is all turbulent, and the turbo sounds like its working its head off (not squealing, just 110% load), lots of black gooky smoke and just generally bad bad. So, it seems my turbo oil seals are farked. When the head was being worked, the tomei oil restrictor in the head meant there is more pressure going thru the turbo line, hence boostwerks said they fitted a better flowing oil restrictor to the Sliding Performance 360degree thrust bearing nissan r33 stock highflow turbocharger, steel wheels with ported housings. Seeing this had happened previously (ie a few months ago at the garage) Im guessing that would have had an effect on the journal bearings. And now she's starting to die. An untimely death, but perhaps timely. You see Im doing a project, twin turbo manifold with twin stock nissan ball bearing highflow's. Untimely in the fact i cant afford to do 2 at the moment, nor the manifold. However I have already received the new Garrett Ball bearing for the core $140 and paid $99 for a new comp.wheel/turbine shaft set. thats $239 usd all up, will rebuild and spend some cash on a rebalance at a turbo place like ATS. However Ive got another dead turbo here kindly donated, and will rebore the housings of this one out at my pops place, and eventually order another bb core and turbine/comp.wheel set, rebuild the donated turbo. Its just going to take a while before I'll have the funds to do it all, due to intake fabrication required and exhaust manifold and work to flow two dump pipes into one (same with intake, same with charged air to the cooler, need 3x Y pipes) bad luck that the turbo has started to fail just now (-600 on my visa is all I have got to my name) but good luck that I was already ordering parts. now back to ripping apart the donated turbo to see what else I may need via a rebuild kit. oily black smoke on boost = turbo dieing. 20,000kms old, never went past 1.09 bar, but it was only $600 3.5yrs ago plus a dead turbo. Not too bad, seeing now I can make it Ball bearing. Not sure if the 16G compressor wheel will be ok, nor if the TD05H turbine shaft will fit ok. If not its $100 for a Garrett 60-1 comp.wheel and $170 for the turbine shaft. trying the cheaper way 1st. fingers X'd

hahaha I was watching you while my mate was taking the pics on his new camera, trying out hdr settings etc (like 1st pic) nice work well Im hoping it shouldnt be a problem with the 16g/td05h bb internals seeing the cams make the engine feel like a 3.0ltre off boost hopefully it can be tuned to be a good package remap chip and extra inj. on manifold setup with hks inj. controller

cheers manifold will be like this but the wastegate pipe will be closed, ie balancer pipe. both highflowed rb25 turbos will be using hks actuators, therefore internal gate.

sweet asus xonar d2x, logitech 7.1 + ATB

keep the bmw and buy a 20k sports bike, ie gsxr1000 or r1.

hahha wooooot cant wait going to my pops place to lathe out the housings

got me garrett ball bearing cartridge today the exhaust turbine shaft and compressor wheel wont be far away just got to port the housings of a stocker rb25, then fit 'n balance.

either wrong type spark plugs OR one of the coil packs isnt sitting on top of the sparkplug correctly.

sweet !

cheers mate, grabbing one kindly from james, and will port the front/rear housings at my pops place get us spending an arvo together in his shed fitting a td05h shaft and 16g comp.wheel with garrett ball bearing internals, oil/water gt2871r housing, using ported highflowed nissan front/rear housings then will take off my current highflow, grab another td05h/16g pack and ball bearing centre, and rebuild again using the current highflowed stock housings twin turbo stagea coming up - eventually. no rushing this one

hi-def photo from monday (need to replace that bolt, lol)

cheers, thanks for that !

all goes on the Balance Sheet

wanted: either front or rear compressor housing from (r32, r33, r34, gtr, gts-t or silvia 200sx) or shagged turbo building my own atm for a twin turbo stag have ball bearing internals, turbine & comp wheel, garrett gt2871r housing just need front compressor and rear exhaust housing to get the build going

if names are logged per donated amount, totaled up, then there is no problem 'simply Petty Cash towards the new club if it all falls thru and ppl want donations back, then with the original donated total, less costs of items (sauce, bread, butter, sausages, cans, etc) averaged per person, would be refundable. easy, and a great way to start the ball rolling with donations going to the petty cash tin, receipts kept. it isnt that hard...... just got to start somewhere will see if I can make the bbq date. havent got much $ myself atm tho, sitting out of work and all that does that to the finances, but Im sure enough could be tallied together to get the ball rolling. such as paying for business name, registered club PO address, etc etc etc
