Hello everyone,

Well on the weekend i was having some fun in my 33 gtst, after the turbo was glowing white my friend comments to me how he likes my neons under the car. Having no neons i immediatly go and lift the bonnet to find my turbo on fire. The o2 sensor plug had melted and caught fire on the turbo, as the cars still running turbo timer i poured water on it to put it out. After the fire was out and the engine shut off it wouldn't start again, it cranks, just wont start and run.

Im sure the engine will run without an 02 and on the first two atemps at starting it, it did start for a second but then died a few seconds after.

Any help would be greatly apprieciated, What could it be???

Well so far found the turbo is fine. got spark. got air.... don't have fuel. The pump wasn't working. checked fuse's, relay's.. all fine. bypassed everything and powered up the pump, it works.

Iam now going to fix the 02 sensor and if that doesn't work(which i dont expect it to) iam going to borrow my mate's ecu and see if mine if somehow stuffed.

It just seems funny that after an under bonnet fire the fuel supply has been cut...safety feature of the ems??

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

crap man, that sux bad.....

I woulda thought pouring water on it would do more damage because of the sudden temperature change. (like crack or something)

I'm no mechanic, so sorry I can't help, but have a free bump!

Good luck mate

      Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
