Cooler Pipe Blown Off

Hi guys,

i went for a bit of a drive today, while going along a short straight i gave it full boost and POP, off came one of the cooler pipes. i know its best to leave the car idleing roughly as it does, but i could not for the life of me keep the car running no matter how hard i tried :banana:

the turbo is a highflowed journal bearing t3/t4 with a vg30 exhaust housing, it would have only got less than a minutes worth of idle before it stalled completely. my question is could i have damaged the turbo by all this happening??

it took me a minute or 2 before i reconnected the pipe and started it running again, the car runs fine but i havent given it any boost yet because i need a new clamp.

thanks

Sam.

Not too sure why you'd want to keep the car running with a popped off cooler pipe. A quick shut down time is going to do less damage than trying to keep the car running with unmetered air entering the engine.

Shouldn't have done any damage though, everyone has it happen to them at some stage and I haven't heard of busted engine or turbo from it.

so the oil keeps flowing through the turbo, so it cools off a bit. my tuner instructed me to keep the car running for at least a minute or two if the cooler pipe pops off.

the engines all good, i was just a bit worried about the turbo

That was a rhetorical question. I know a hot shut down is not good for a turbo but trying to make your car idle without an afm is worse.

yeah no probs mate :thumbsup:

i know what u are saying though, i smoked out everything with unburn fuel while i was trying to keep it running!

im pretty sure everything is ok, ill clamp it all up good tomorrow and see how it goes.

yep thats exactly what happened to me this morning on the way to work, it was nice and cool in the morning so i had it on full boost.

Pop, and i was reving but was not going anywhere. Had to pull over on the freeway. It had me worry because it never happened to me before. Its all fix now so all good. :(

should be fine mate. the reason the car stalled was the afm,s when you blow a pipe of you loose pressure to the engine and the afm,s so it should stall unless you run map sensors, as for the turbo, true standing still after a hot burst is not good but it only does harm when you dont start the car up again for hours,hen the oil has time to harden , you started within minutes, i would not worry mate.be fine..

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
