Hi all

all time i have some problem i know where to decide it, am asking all time here so for that moment i have huge problem with my car, i have installed Greddy front plenum on the car, all pipes and connectors are installed propertly, didnot change bov just blocked retun pipe to turbo and return in bov, car is starting properly and woter level is ok and system is ok but HERE I HAVE PROBLEM FOR TWO DAYS I HAVE BROKE TWO STOCK TURBO but dont know why, intake rotors are ok but broken is exaust rotors and thay just simply flew out from muffler, can someone kow what could be hepened, because i didnot boost it up and all time checking for apexi for any failures but it was just showing ok.... coud someone help me or better is to remove this plenum and install stock one?

does anyone know what will be consequence if on hight boost this wire will be blocked suddenly??? can it give some detonation ore can damage turbo???

please HELP:(

thanks in advance

there was no overboosting because i had no boost controller just stock solenoid and thats all, boost gauge doesnot show overboosting... just what i realize the pipce from engine to plenum was blocked but could it be reason for destruction of turbo??

Depends what pipe was blocked, if it s the boost source for the wastegates, that explains it perfectly.

didnot change bov just blocked retun pipe to turbo and return in bov

Are you sure you didn't remove the wastegate acuators pressure line?

If your not using the stock plenum/piping there there are no BOV hole to block

they may not be getting enough water. where did you run the turbo water feed from? was the pipe right at the back of the stock plenum near the rocker cover

Shouldnt be caused by a water problem, plenty of water cooled turbos running around without the water being hooked up. I just find it interesting that both turbos have gone, it must have happened at the exact same time.

he said that it wasnt overboosting according to the gauge so i would assume that would throw all the overboosting causes via boost controller set to high or no lines hooked up to the actuator.

Its not the forward facing plenum, has really nothing to do with it, just a coincidence you spat out two exhaust wheels just after installing. What boost is it running though? And how many kms on the turbo?

If its got a turbo back exhaust which would give higher than stock boost, and high amount of kms, it could just be the end of the turbo but it is weird that they both failed at the same time

I just find it interesting that both turbos have gone, it must have happened at the exact same time.

Well considering its a 25T i would say hes bolted on another turbo and it blew the wheel off that one too...unless it has a twin turbo conversion....

I suggest you have someone who knows what theyre looking at to have a look for you. That seems the easiest way.

Hi

first of all i have R33 GTST with single turbo:)

but i done twice for three days:)

so all cannectors was good i mean wotter and oil to the turbo, only mistake or fdefect i think it was not good pipe from head of engine to the pplenum and not correct connection stock BOV, tomorrow i will make pictures for all conectors and how i install it if you can help me it would be good if not i dont wanna risk for new turbo and will install stock plenum agin... and pay attention for thet dammage turbo happened not at time of acceleration (boost) it happened both time when from hight boost i took my leg from acceleration pedal while moving i mean so i think there was some problem with air and both side of turbo rotors moved to different direction because it just break in middle and exaust rotor flew out

He its me again with my problem:) so i made pics and if someone can find any mistace please post here..

this pipe goes to the stock solenoid and from there to the westgate

post-34904-1194026137_thumb.jpg

here is picture of conection

post-34904-1194028479_thumb.jpg

i think its stock boost gauge pipe and i conect it to the intake plenum

post-34904-1194026347_thumb.jpg

conected to the top of plenum

post-34904-1194027192_thumb.jpg

One side to plenum one to the Fuel pressure rergulator and third to the BOVs vacuum

post-34904-1194028136_thumb.jpg

pipe from this big arrow goes to the top of engine:)

post-34904-1194026382_thumb.jpg

i block at all bovs return pipe

post-34904-1194028418_thumb.jpg

Stock bov was installed and not connected anywhere

post-34904-1194028544_thumb.jpg

so this is all conection please if someone see any mistake please post here because i lost two turbo for two days and dont wanna do it on new one

Edited by guricha

you should block off the bov from the inside. i dont beleive they operate well when open to atmosphere. i tried it a few times and it was causing all sorts of problems.

take it off, and trace out the base onto a sheet of metal. cut it out and drill the two bolt holes, and install it with gasket between the bov and the intake pipe. a car should run fine without a bov.

where does the hose that the yellow hose for the fuel reg connect to the plenum?

also if your running stock boost control, why is there one hose blocked off over there?

should be a tee piece on the boost control side. otehrewise how can you tell if it was stock boost or not when the turbo went.

you do have an air filter in the guard dont you?

also, where did you source the second turbo gone, maybe it was not in good condition too.

first of all thanks for replys

so i check all connections and wires and thay are good, only mistake is left its bov i still have used stock one and it was working like atmo bov and because made failure waht you thin?? so there is problem like i see after boosting of turbo bov isnot opening and and all air from trottile goes back to the tubo and rotors ar begining move to different sides and smal turbo cant handle it could be happened problem like that???

and please help where to find post for instalation of aftermarket bov???

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny
