Hi guys, Im pretty confident my rear turbo is dead but im after some opinions. Before I completly rip them off this weekend.

HKS 2530S on GTR.

Makes first dyno run fine on low boost making around 370, then switced it onto high for the power run. Car makes no boost what so ever. You can normally hear the turbos spinning when the car is cooling down, but now one is really loud and sounds like its dragging something and makes and whinging noise when it trys to come onto boost, workshop said it was the turbo so I think it is. I limped it home with no boost and parked her up. Car drives fine, no smoke ect.

Turbos have seen around 1 bar for the last 3 years and were in good nick when last inspected.

Cheers,

Clint

If you can hear an audible change, then its pretty much highly likely.

Shouldnt have driven it home though, could have aggrovated the damage to housings and things where they might have been touch-up machineable.

Boost or no boost, turbos are still spinning (or attempting too) soon as the motor is started.

    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
    • thanks GTSboy. My confusion at the moment is i am trying to locate the ignition, ECU battery power and the ECU negative The closest thing i can find is the for the S15 on Page 8 of the Wiring Specialties web page https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9F33_M_GgENQnZ6STMxVmVNd1E/view?resourcekey=0-eZ4nNRwRoqa1qvKlWWHm8A I cannot find the same diagram for the R33 RB25DET Series 2 dash plug pin out.... Do you know what the Pins? or know where i can find the same pinout diagram for the RB dash plug? Thanks for the advice on the box... i like a 6 speed so might be on the lookout or the box now.. a topic of discussion for another post...
    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
