Psi Turbo Gaurge

[gazal]

Hey guys,

I'm new here and this is my first gts-t. I recently brought a skyline and i notice that when i rev the psi gauge only goes up to "0" which is the middle. It is suppose to be like that? or does it goes up more.

Thanks

It won't go any higher when you're just revving while in neutral, but when you go for a drive, it should go up.

Ah ok, well i did take it for a drive the max it goes is to "0" so does this mean there's something wrong with the turbo? on the other hand i havent put my foot on the accerlator all the way down..

Try pushing the car a little harder, but remember to do this in a safe, closed environment.

yeah. but it does sound like a blown turbo - rear wheel has probably come off. If you take the cat off at the front pipe you will probably find the turbo wheel at the front of the cat

Hey duncan, it is easy to take the front cat off? i'm new to this and have no idea what i'm doing. Maybe i should take it to a mechanic?

well when u drive it does it feel like its on boost. Rev out second gear to around 6000rpm and if you feel the turbo kicking in then obviously turbo not stuffed... Maybe its your gauge itself...

[Duncan]

mate if you aren't too confident with tools just take it to a mechanic. either the gauge is stuffed (unlikely) or you have a dead turbo or a boost leak.

Dead turbo is easy for the to check but a tricky job to do (so don't try it)

Boost leak takes ages to find you could spend hours stuffing around.

So either way take it to the mechanic.

to tell if u arent givin it enough....sit from stationary then go and jus plant ur foot....if it dont go any higher than ZERO then u have a problem...then take it to ur mechanic and go from there!

I noticed that with my car, but after close examination (and some "foot planting") figured my problem was my foot was to light. It's completely stock right? So you should start to feel it from about 3.5k rpm onward correct? you will notice the rpm's and speed climbs significantly faster. So, yeah it that doesn't work I would go see the mechanic. Remember to be safe when you hit the boost like adam said. Don't push it to far. Goodluck

Hey guys thanks for the replies. Yeah i've test it on a highway 0-80 and 0-100 the max the psi show is to "0" so i guess i'll have to take it to a mechanic. It does feel fast but it also feels that the car has been restricted.

I'm in melbourne any good places to take it for a check up? without getting ripped off?

There's a list of workshops. A few on the west a few on the east and south east.
