Engine/Car: R32 GTR 93
Type of failure: Rear turbo wheel exploded under boost. Ceramic fragments are causing knocking sound and very low compression (90psi) in cylinders 4,5,6. Not yet fixed!
Factors influencing the failure: Just picked up car from docks with Apexi AVCR boost controller. Unsure of boost level, was running fine until it was pushed past 5000rpm. Then BANG!
State of tune of the engine: Trust intercooler, Mines ECU, HKS pod filters, full 3" exhaust, Apexi electronic boost controller, Blitz BOV's..
Suspension and tyres: Bilstein suspension. 18x9" Work wheels.
Oil used and service interval: Unsure, but engine oil and coolant were clean.
General comments: Very unfortunate, turbo blew before the chance to dyno tune. Car in very good condition (85,000kms) full Jap service history. I'm guessing boost controller was to blame for high boost (although it only displayed 0.65 bar)..
ANY SUGGESTIONS ON A BUDGET REBUILD OR REPLACEMENT? (CONSIDERING STANDARD NISSAN PARTS WITH UPGRADED TURBOS ONLY...)
HAS ANYONE EXPERIENCED THIS?
ANYONE KNOW WHAT INTERNALS WOULD BE AFFECTED AND WOULD NEED REPLACING/REPAIRING?
