guys i was in full throttle into 3rd when i herd a massive bang and lost almost all power...

when i put my foot down it chockes and will only jump a little while it goes up the vacum line on my boost gauge (which it does exeptionally fast) as soon as it hit boost it just goes no where.

clearly i am thinking the turbo is blown since there is no flutter and will not show and boost on the gauge as well as heaps of smoke comming out of the exause

but why wont it idle properly or drive properly or even go over 2000rpm before chocking. i thought if i blew the turbo it would drive as a non turbo would??

most likely yoiu have blown a turbo. And it will run like crap. Some cases it would run like a non turbo. other cases it would feel like no matter how hard u try the car wont move much at all.

pull off the intake pipe leading to the turbo (rubber) and have a look at the comp wheel

The reason it may not idle properly is most likely due to the Oil from your turbo going through the motor and fouling your plugs...

As far as not going over 2000rpm without 'choking', I don't know what you exactly mean by 'choking' though could be in safe mod which I doubt so I would say it is just way to rich and getting bugger all spark.

Take it to a workshop mate. There are plenty of them in sydney and won't cost much to get them to have a look and diagnose whats wrong.

good thing i checked the cooler piping before ordering a new turbo!! the cooler piping just under the airbox had blown where it meets the stock piping but only to the side and not entirely off so it was still running but terribly and not boosting. i reconnected the pipping and the idoling returned to normal and the black smoke stopped after a few seconds. i took it for a drive and its boosting but ht ecar is sluggish and miss fireing. i am guessing this is because the spark plugs are in ruins after flooding the engine so much and so many times????? so i will buy a new set of them and see she returns to her boosting best

i've had both these problems, i have blown cooler pipes off (when i just bought my rb20 silvia) the guys hadn't put them on poperly this makes the car choke and stall when trying to move it. This afternoon, the turbo actually blew and i knew it was going to at some point as i was an idiot, i had no boost controll running for the turbo (usually watched the gauge) and no bov running. Was going to put on a bov n attach a bleed type boost controller but now i can't! ahh but yes ur problem is definatly a blown turbo, i'd say the exhaust wheel is blown bad luck, hame!

JUST READ LAST POST OPPZ!

    • Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
    • List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter? 
    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...
