That line on the top is supposed to be for the oil return on the bottom of the turbo. The top is for oil feed and the bottom is for oil return. In other words, someone has turned the compressor housing and exhaust housing and has made all of the oil and water lines upside down. Pretty odd how they have done it because it would have been a fair effort to get that banjo bolt into the oil return aswell.

Turbo will have to be pulled off and all of the nuts around the back of the compressor housing and exhaust housing need to be loosened off and you need to spin the housings around the right way.

BTW i would stop driving the car the way it is.

Thanks, Mike

Holy shit are you serious?

Ok I'll install the stock boost controller back.

Yea the panelbeaters mechanic installed it for me.

Was worried if they knew what they were doing.

I'll post that pic up tomorrow once I get a chance to jack it up

Thanks for all the comments

Going by the picture, could it be anything to do with the turbo?

Hopefully the thing is installed. Actuators maybe?

Can anyone tell me if this is right? I have circled it on the picture below.

Cheers

The cartridge is the right way up.

These are the way that the Garrett cartridges are made.

The oil feedback and the intake will not line up if you were to try to spin it as on the other side there is no thread and it is pure drain back using the stock return pipe.

I would just take it to a knowledgable mechanic to save time with guessing.

There could be many things happening for a guage to read 0

Give me a call and ill help you out. :)

As above :(

i was just curious as to how having the oil lines upside down would have an affect? unless there is a 1 way valve wouldn't the oil flow through it anyway? since it is being pumped.

but if they tapped a thread into it to suit the banjo fitting then where does all the swarf go?

have any of your turbos got a 2 hole flange top and bottom.

ie to suit the oil drain top and bottom?

ive never seen one..

Hi guys,

Just got this checked out by a specialist.

http://www.hitman.hm/

He told me that the turbo seems to be installed fine.

The bad news he told me is that the turbo isn't even spooling.

Getting it removed in 2 weeks since he's pretty busy next week.

He wants to have a look at whats wrong with the turbo and why its not spooling at all.

I'll get back to you guys on how this goes

Cheers,

Bernard

Ive never seen a garret catridge that has looked like that.

My guess is that when installed the guys i spoke to that had no idea about installing it did not do the oil line modifications as instructed.

Send it back to me with the bolts and oil line mate and ill check it out :P

The only reason the shaft would have seized is if they were not done and the bearings were starved of oil or something has gone through it.

They really did have a seriously hard time understanding what i were talking about and i had a feeling it would come to this even when they had the instructions in front of them.

Edit: Just read your PM mate and replied :)

EDIT: Conclusioin.. was found to be the installers pressed the split dump pipe into the turbine and stopped it from spinning.

    • This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.
    • Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
    • But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...
    • I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference
