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.

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • 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.
