David-Gutted to read the Bentley thread...horrible luck

As for the sump baffle; from what i'm told its an engine out exercise best left for a rebuild occasion. When I brought that idea up last year the consensus was run my RB with an extra litre or so of oil..I use redline just incase anyway.

.

However dyno figures can give an indication of when the turbos come on boost which is what I'm interested in
I'm not even sure that you can do that. I get full boost (1.1 bar) in my car at around 3800 on the higher 3 gears but don't forget I have a 34 engine and very healthy one as well.

Sory to hear all your misfortunes.. Have you had a full check up on your engine? ( the one the turbo let go ) If not, if I was you I would do a full compression test and a leakdown before doing any mods to it .

These engines have a bad habit of sucking turbo ceramic dust back in them. When it happened to me a few years back no-one believed me but its happened to a few people here and now there are a lot more believers...

This is what could have happened to yours ( but i hope not). This is extreme as you can see the 3 pistons ( rear turbo let go so rear 3) are totally stuffed , the bore was the same and it was embebbed in the cyl head as well. The effected 3 cyls had very low compression( around 50-90) the other 3 had normal comp but were still effected ( very fine marks though).

Thanks for the tip. I hadn't thought that far in advance.

I've had a leakdown test performed. I can't remember the exact results off hand but IIRC there was 5% variance between all 6 cylinders ie 5% difference between highest to lowest figures. I'll post the exact results when I grab the sheet. Ugly photos you have there. That must have hurt (both the car and your wallet).

Thanks to both Mr Keats and wrxhoon for your comments regarding the Bentley.

Edited by writeoff
the grey GTR has a blown turbo (hense the upgrade),

I would be having the motor inspected, if a turbo has let go, then its possible there is some motor damage.

Also, you do know you really dont "need" the sump baffles ye?

The whole hype surrounding the need is pretty much that, hype.

Hardly any GTR's here in Melb run anything other than a stock sump well into the 300rwkw range, all circuit raced/motorkhana etc etc.

Was it a leakdown or compression test? Compression is quoted in either PSI or bar and you want as little variance as possible however a max of about 14 PSI . Leakdown is quoted in % and you want as little as possible ( less than 5% is very good) .

It did hurt because someone else was driving the car so I didnt even get the pleasure of blowing it up myself.

I only got the pain of rebuilding it, I had to change everything .

yeh thats why no longer let others drive my car now,read it couple times now and thought not worth..even tho id have to fix anyways..

I've deleted the sump from my list. Thanks for the advice.

It was a leakdown test. From memory the best figure was 7% and the worst was 12%.

A quick question: Are the Sard 700cc injectors a direct fit (as I believe) or do they need injector collars? http://www.nengun.com/sard/injectors

A quick question: Are the Sard 700cc injectors a direct fit (as I believe) or do they need injector collars?

Yes , direct and the plugs fit, unlike the 800ccs, they can be a little tight in to the fuel rail but a little rubber grease makes them go in nice.

I would use new O rings and new collars but I use the old spacers if they look OK.

A slightly thinner o'ring does the trick nicely...don't forget to give them a light spray with silicone during assembly.

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
