hey guys,

i'm taking the car to the mech tomorrow morning. but just need some ideas quick

Took off to go to work bout 6pm, car is still warm as i only got home at 5.30pm, so no need to warm up the car

come out of my driveway, probably hitting 3000rpm ish, car goes POOOOP, i was like wtf. Then power starts cutting out(lights start dimming and going bright again), eventually the car stablises, idles at 1000rpm, then alll of a sudden the revs build up slowly.....from 1000rpm to 5000rpm. so i turn off the car

so i opened the bonnet to make sure my accelerator cable wasn't caught. everything looks fine.

turn the car on, car revs slowly up to 4000rpm again~!!!

then i turn it off, stepped on the throttle again.

and turned the car on again, this time it idled properly. at 800rpm ish.

so i put the car back in the garage, and go to work as i'm alrdy late.

come back 4hrs later

turn on the car, idles properly, so i tried to back it out. i reversed about 5metres, car starts acting weir again. i let it idle, and it idles hell rough with revs jumping up and down ( 800-1000rpm). and the car sounds like a rex

so i wait for 2 mins witht he car on, then the car idles normal again.

tried to take it for a drive. the car feels hell weird, no power at all. so i tried to slowly boost it..but NO boost..wtf..i can hear the turbo spinning making a weird sound...

then the car starts losing power again. it struggles to idles. then stallls...wtf

i can still turn the car on, but idles hell weird. doesnt have power at all and doesnt make any boost

so any suggestions? please, i need to know whats wrong lol. or i cant sleep tonight

coilpack? turbo? cylinder?

and btw lately when i take off slowly i can hear a very light 'hummming' noise from the engine, but never took notice of it

so any suggestions plz/??

cheers

steve

sorry bout the long post, and it probably doesnt make sense.

Wont be a cooler pipe,car wont rev at all if it was.

Do you have a PFC with hand controller? If you do check out the sensors to see if any are blacked out.

Your tuner will be able to diagnose it though.

Good luck with it all

Sounds like you have shit a turbo. Comp wheel comes off, fragments move through the intake, get caught in the t/body and hold it open. Then, said fragments move further in to the engine and cause more havoc and damage as the engine tries to digest them.

Might not be your problem but is still likely and no-one has suggested it yet.

sounds like it is a turbo problem, if it was a cooler pipe it probably wouldnt hold idle, you have to have your foot on a bit to keep it alive.

start by openig the bonnet and pumping the accelerator and watch the throttle to see if its moving smoothly/correctly. since you mention it sounds like a rex, i assume its not firing properly and you are looking at either fouled/damaged plugs or inaccurate fueling. check all the wiring from your safc to the stock ecu harness, if you've damaged or d/c one its an interesting cause to the problem. could always remove the safc for troubleshooting anyway.

because it revs out, we can assume that its not in too bad a shape or it would have detonated. i would say the stock ecu is doing its best not to have the engine shit itself one way or another.

i would suggest check all the pipes tho, as its the easiest to fix, then im afraid you may have to dig your way in to the turbo and check it.

yeh found out it's the turbo that's gone. i'm gonna have to drive it like twice a week for the next month before i can get a new turbo

am i surpose to remove the dump pipe and and pipe from the front of the turbo to make sure the blades and seal arent just sitting there?

Technical parameters: - Axle: front. - Disc type: ventilated. - Number of holes: 5. - Disc diameter: 310mm. - Total height with center: 54mm. - Thickness (new/min.): 30/28mm. - Designed for brake calipers manufacturer: Sumitomo.
    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
