Hey Guys just need some thoughts,

i recently got my car tuned ever since have not had any problems, Was out a couple hours Ago Went for a bit of a Joy ride , Went a bit hard on the car on the motorway But then suddenly the car just wasnt performing as it should , It was reading no boost at all.. If i gave it petrol It would not Hit boost at all so in other words it was reading 0 Boost on the boost gauge.... I checked for any smoke coming out of the exsaust No signs of any unusuall coloured smoke and the engine was not knocking at all or making any weird noises..

Any ideas Guys ???

umm that description isn't good.....most likely you've blown a turbo. On the bright side it sounds like your motor survived, not everyone is that lucky.

If you have a cat, pull it off the front pipe and see if there is a turbo compressor blade in there....

Thanx for the feedback guys.. Duncan im pretty sure it aint the turbos mainly because the car was not blowing blue/White smoke for starters .... Motor is actually brand new just done a rebuild on it too Im hoping its not that... I was under the inpression it was a boost leak or some hose has came off but just wanted to get some other feed back..

thanx guyss

Hey,

In regards to an intercooler pipe popping off, this happened to me the other weekend. The difference between our stories, I heard a POP like Yawn did and then it lost power and had to pull over where it died and would only start and idle for about 5 sec before stalling.

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=183402

So yeah check all your pipes, it may not be a big enough vacuum leak to stop the car like mine did but enough to let out pressurized air, ie no boost.

Cheers!

Yeah, i lost power and i wasn't even getting 1 psi of pressure.

The first time it popped off I had to go back in and forced it back on. The 2nd time it happened it was dislodged way too far off and i didnt have the tools to fit it back on so i had to drive all the way back to my workshop with the hose off. Not the best thing to do but i had no choice besides getting a few hundred dollar bill to get it towed back.

I was having trouble even getting to 80kmh :)

woo hoo 1 point for me.

but -1 for you :P

second hand gtr turbs are cheap but who knows how long before they die too....best to get them highflowed with steel wheels now.

Yeah ended up getting N1s .... Had some money lying around... its amazing though everyone i spoke to said it was intercooler piping or some hose like everyone....

Thanx Dunc.....

well like r31 gagz said, normally with a cooler pipe the car won't run at all (unless it only opens up under boost which is much rarer). Anyway, the 34 n1 turbs are the pick of the crop, you will enjoy the upgrade

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
