Car Friendly Turbo Leak, That's Right... Stupidest Shit Ever Come See!


Recommended Posts

OK, so you replaced this half gasket [i thought you'd installed it like that, but after re reading your post you bought the car like that] and fixed up the leak.

I'd try the Safc, but don't be surprised if it doesn't fix it, it is only a signal bender, and if the ecu is broken, it still won't send the right response. Unfortunately you will not find anything out without a tune, you need a baseline tune, you can't avoid it [i know you don't have the $$$, but I can't see any alternative]. Your also in a hole, you've done some mods, but haven't finished them, the mods you have done are only half way towards the set up you need for an efficient motor with power.

Hmm, I see. Well, these are NOT my mods. The car came this way. Thank you for clearing up a lot of my questions actually. Yeah, I will be able to tune the car SOON! Woohooo! Because I got some more money. But what do you mean I am half way there mate? Is there something else that I need to do?

school hoildays must be on? or he got kicked out of school 4 being 2 dumb

WHAT'S SCHOOL????

Lol dude, honestly, it's over that already. I got your attention that's all I wanted.

so you're an attention whore..

Well, yes, I guess that would be what I am. Considering I needed the attention to get help. Just like everyone on this forum. :sick:

I thought pics would make the whole process a bit easier for you.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
