Hey guys,

Basically i have taken the task of removing turbo's from my R34 GTR by myself, currently i've removed pretty much everything apart from oil / water lines, heat shielding and a few other bits and pieces. Im starting to get a bit confused as to the order things need to come off, and how i go about it. Basically im wanting to know if anyone in the area (Brisbane) would mind lending a hand / knowledge on the process and could possibly help me out one day / evening. I would pay handsomely in alcoholic beverages and food! or happy to give a bit of cash depending on how much work is done! If anyone is available let me know, would be greatly appreciated! Here is a pic of the current state.

Also, have taken stacks of pics of whats happened along the way, hoping to develop some kind of D.I.Y RB26DETT Turbo removal guide at some stage ;)

Any advice / help appreciated! Even if someone could just give me advice on the order to remove the components

From memory:

- Undo your power steering reservoir and move it out of the way, just gives a bit more room to move.

- Remove the hard lines above the heat shields (have something ready to catch the water).

- Remove your front pipe if you haven't already.

- Heat shields off.

- Oil/water lines off.

- Intake off the front of the turbos off (extra long extension bar highly useful for the rear turbo).

- Undo the nuts between the turbo flange and manifold but don't completely remove them.

- Undo the top 6 manifold bolts.

- Drop the turbos down as far as you can without undoing the bolts and with a long extension put it in between the turbo flange and manifold to undo the bottom 6 manifold bolts.

- Completely remove turbo flange/manifold bolts now and lift out manifolds.

- Undo O2 sensors and lift out turbos.

Sounds easy when you say it like that ;)

Like I said, this is from memory only so I may have missed something.

Thanks! Ill look over what you said and give it a go! You wouldnt know which water line is the best to drain from? I've already dumped the oil out so thats not a problem. Havnt removed the front pipes so i should do that i suppose.

I think I used the big centre bolt but I don't think it really matters.

done this job engine in more times than i care to remember....it gets easier the more you do it...just remember, when it gets to you walk away and come back after a beer/coffee/smoke etc. you will get there and feel great when its finally done.

thats the way.. just make sure you start with at least a new carton of your prefered drink and new pack of smokes(if you smoke while working make that 2 packets)

On this note, what is the easiest way of reinstalling turbos?

Considering how much of a bitch it was to remove the rear manifold underside nuts, it must be easier to lift the rear turbo into position from underneath. Trialled the new one all rigged up through the hole and it 'should' be a possibility.

Any other helpful hints would be appreciated.

From memory.... it took us two cartons of beer.......

do you guys have any tips for just changing the extension and dump pipes?

How much beer do I need lol?

alot.. tis flamin mongrel of a job.. small hands.. perhaps the small hands of an eager to learn young teenager.. something that can bend into like.. a snakey S shape.. prolly only carton of piss for changing dumps.. front pipes are easy to change but dumps are ghey.

Gotta agree... A bitch of a job... Find someone with small hands

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
