Hi there.

A week ago I was to a car meeting... Gave it some ass in first, burning rubber, then drove forward, I should park, the engine died, fired it up right away. Died 5 - 10 secs after it was punched, and was started within 2 secs again.

Ran 20 psi boost.

Could my GT3076r turbo, with same size oil restrictor as from ATP, have taken any damage?

Also today, was driving slow, clutched in and engine stalled. released clutch within a second so fired ud again, could any damage have taken place?

I hope not... There isnt any smoke, or missounds or anything.

Hmm.. But could there be any turbo damage??? That is my question, i know my valve have issues... Im experimenting with it... Making different types of pistons inside, different clearances and so on.

The only thing im concerned with is turbo damage because of no oil pressure when engine died, in those two situations as described in my first post..

Know its not ideal... But it need very little oil to get lubricated.. Hole in oil restrictor is only 0.85mm, as per ATP turbo, oil in to my turbo is faily high.

I mean, it has around 8cm different fittings straight up from, oil in, on turbo. Both to clear the housing, and to get from one size thread to the steel braided hose I use.

So in that 8cm pipe, from turbo oil inlet straight up, 90 bend and then my steel braided hose, there will be oil still lubricating the turbo when engine is turned of.. There is about 30 ml oil in the pipe, it cant run back to engine, only way is through turbo... So im trying to calm myself saying there is no damage to turbo, has just replaced the turbo, blew the old one with too much oil pressuere, and is under education, so dont have money. hehe. So basicly I want to be calm'ed.

Good son of rajab, i thought my swedish/english was bad... :nyaanyaa:

What ever your trying to say, i doubt your $2000 GT3076r has taken damage. It would be a "sensory input to your ECU" issue me thinks. Check that nizzle out. You haven't told us bout the basics, so widdle the branch and let us know

Just because your engine was off few a few seconds I don't think the turbo would've suffered any damage. I'd say damage would occur after heavy use (like the skid you pulled) then turning off and leaving the car turned off for extended period. It would be more from when the turbo has stopped spinning and it becomes unevenly heated without the oil to help disperse the heat. It's not going to stop spinning after a couple seconds of engine off though.

there there little buddy, everything is going to be fine *pat on the back* you know when ever i think something its wrong with my car i put on my happy shoes and dance like Napoleon Dynomight. and if that doesnt do it for you, then u might take comfort in the previous posts have all said things like "I don't think the turbo would've suffered any damage" "i doubt your $2000 GT3076r has taken damage" "i doubt the turbo has sustained any real damage" and "wouldn't be a turbo issue"?

do you feel better? *hugs*

AiF

P.S. it feels a little to me like you want someone to say your turbo is shagged.

hehe.

That helped alot. :laugh: Needed to be calmed... I get really nerveus about my car.

Trust me, I dont want to hear its buggered.. Skipped my summer vacation to afford this turbo... So no no no, dont want it to be shagged, buggered, busted, damaged or anything. I'm under education, so dont have alot of money....

Want it to be in super mint condition. :D

.....

I wish for a money tree for christmas.

LMAO at the number of people trying sort out the stalling issue.

ALL he wanted to know was.

Will the car being off for 2 seconds before being turned back on, cause any damage to the turbo since he had just done a lebo wedding move.

he knows the stalling issue is his "experimental" atmo venting bov.

he was asking if the turbo could be damaged by the 2 seconds the car was off immediately after a burnout.

at least some people go that.

    • Even with the piston at TDC there was room for it to drop, but I don't think it can drop fully into the cylinder, the problem you have is that you need something pushing against the valve to hold it up so you have enough room to put the new stem seal on and the spring etc.  I used compressed air only because putting rope in the cylinder seemed a bit risky to me, I know people have done it countless times before like this. Overall it's a pain in the ass job. Honestly you'd probably be better off taking the head off because the risk of dropping something in the engine and the finicky-ness of it all is very stressful. If you are going to attempt it though i 10000% recommend a 36050 valve spring/keeper tool. I had both the traditional lever type and after doing 1 cylinder it was absolute pain to get those valve keepers in place, even with 2 people. That 36050 is amazing, you do have to push hard to get them in place but it works perfectly almost every time. Back to my actual issue I think my engine is just tired and old and the rings have gone bad. The comp numbers (cold, no oil) were: Cyl 1 -129psi Cyl 2 - 133psi Cyl 3 - 138psi Cyl 4 - 137psi Cyl 5 - 157psi Cyl 6 - 142psi   Cylinder 5 and 6 having the most carbon on them.
    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.
