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.

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.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
