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

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
