Hey Guys,

What a sad sad day it is today. Blown Turbo, pinched nerve in my neck  :O

Ok, so basically on a budget of $2000 what is my best and easiest option to get it back on the road again?

Cheers,

Chris

GCG ball bearing hi flow, very similar response to standard, up to 265 rwkw, more power EVERYWHERE on all 3 RB's I have fitted them to. Bolts back up exactly as it came off, no making stuff, buying extra bits, things that don't line up etc etc.

:) cheers :)

Yep new turbs is the best bet, youll prob need a bit over 2k to cover it with labour costs unless you are gonna put it in yourself. Check Nengun.com and get a direct bolt on kit like an HKS GT RS or you could buy another standard turbo for around $500 of these forums but thats no fun.

How did you blow you turbo? Too much boost??

what a mofo, eh AMS? Man that sucks big time. Bad luck to you, you've only just got it! That must really shite you off, but dont let it get you down.

$2k go the GCG hiflow. With the R34 GTT 'cooler you've got, some boost control & save up & do a SITC or similar and you'd end up with a top ride, with good power at a safe tune.

Running 10psi, but it was spiking to 12psi. Now they said that there is a boost cut at 12psi which when it hits that, it cuts the turbo, the constant spooling every 500rpm caused it to overheat. So there we go. Fun for all

Cheers Brendan. Does shit me off. But my neck is killing me. Something about a ciatic nerve? Anywho, just rang CGC then. They are going to give me a call back and we are going to discuss a sponsorship of some sort. Fingers crossed. Should be damn quick when I get it done though

Is that 10psi with standard intercooler?

bugger, a spate of blown turbo's is upon us. i've just done 160,000km, i wonder when mine is going to go. i've been running 10psi since i bought it (15mnth ago) but have an fmic, hope it doens't go soon, i'm saving for the manual, don't want to have to get a new turbo.

but AMS, good reason to get a better one, one less upgrade needed later

When i got my FMIC and my vac lines were all screwed around, i was running 12psi with 14psi spikes.... damn the car pulled hard ...i loved lifting off boost :P

Anyway, its back to stock 7-8psi now, but to let everyone know, i picked up a screwed R33 GTST turbo for $150 delivered.... soon to be highflowed (after brakes and manual though :D)

Damn so you didnt have any R&R Problems? :)

Yeah my car did go bloody hard though!

Ok, so im pretty sure I'm going ahead with the CGC Highflow. So when I get it on etc etc and the car is up and running. What boost levels should I have then? Just leave it at 10psi? Or go for more? (Will have Jaycar gear by then too :))

Well, heres the deal

On 7psi the car is "fast". Then i have a 10psi map without a tune and the car is not as "fast". Then i had that 12psi/14psi map and the car was faster then "fast" without a tune. So maybe the total ammount of air was just overriding the R&R?

So these days, for daily i have it on 7. For drags on 7 and... yeh, 7 seems fastest.

Meh, I cant wait to upgrade the turbo and put the s**t back up there, with the pfc/manaul too - Alex=one happy chappy

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
