Got Boost?

Hey guys,

Almost done removing the turbo's of an RB26, done it all myself to this point, proven quite painfull...

Question is, in order to drop the front turbo down, to get access to the lower manifold bolts i need to either move or undo the a/c line.. unless there is another way around this i havn't seen? I've got some pics attached of what it all looks like, any advice on where to move forward would be awesome! Thanks.

is it only that bolt mount fouling? I'm pretty sure it will bend that much easily.

having said that I've never done turbos off a gtr with ac....

Well from what i can tell its only that one, the back of the turbo seems to move fairly freely. It isn't overly flexible, if i undo the main bolt and twist it then it will move but makes some hissing sounds as the gas escapes a little... lol

no just leave it bolted in and lever it out of the way. only needs to move a few mm by the looks of it.

btw don't you have further issues ahead? I'm pretty sure you need to remove rear turbo first or undo the oil and water line from the block (which is a bastard to put back later)

Get that back turbo out first from underneath - you do not need to slacken off the rear manifold.

The front turbo dump will be restricted by the rear turbo. Once it is out you will be able to play with angles a bit more.

You may first need to slacken off the front manifold (have been told you can do it without which I can believe after finishing the job).

Once I had everything slackened off and the rear turbo out I was able to angle the front turbo down past the AC.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.

      Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that

      I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
