hey!, i gave my car a bit of shit around a corner today and i lost boost halfway around it???

now i get no boost at all!

i no the turbo was on its way out (smoking and squeeling etc)

could this be the intercooler piping? i tryed to look for leaks but didnt see anything or is the turbo just dead?

mods: rb25, micro tec, 3 inch turbo bk,fimic, 040, ebc etc 10 psi

cheers dylan

Jesss where do we start...

so you have no power/boost when you drive now... What about any noises that were not there before???

have you looked over the little vac line that goes to the actuator on the turbo and made sure it has not just popped off???

if intercooler piping pops off you'd know about it as the car would run like a dog on 2 legs in a greyhound race...

how much smoke you blowing? did the smoke increase now that the car does not make power???

Not true.

He is running a Microtech, therefore, will have no AFM. Check the intercooler piping (including the pipe straight off the turbo and also into the plenum), that is the most likley cause.

in my old s15 a part of the turbo-dumppipe gasket was deteriorating, and a piece got jammed in the turbo exhaust wheel, was giving same as above, no boost car reved like a n/a car. but it was obvious the gasket was gone from the noise it made. when i replaced the gasket, and removed the gasket piece from the turbo wheel everything back to normal with full boost etc.

probably should take the turbo off anyway and have a look

Worst case scenario, you have a leaking gasket or a crack piston ring land.

Once the turbo is taken out check the turbo and the exhaust manifold bolts. Sometimes bolts can come loose.

If everything looks good. Do a compression test and check for oil leaks.

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
