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!

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Something to note, on an aftermarket turbo, it's quite possible to end up with the worst of both worlds, where on light throttle, there isn't enough force to open the BOV so you get small reversion and driveability issues, and with the venting to atmosphere, it dumps a lot of fuel on shifts. Realistically, dumping to atmosphere under power isn't a major driveability issues, compared to the issues of stalling from reversion. If you're getting up the throttle, then putting the clutch in, say on a shift up, but then don't release the clutch, yes, the engine can and will stall, but, just drive around it, and that's easy, let the clutch out in the next gear and the car rolling will keep it all running / going.who wants a hard hit of throttle and then to just let the motor idle anyway?   Main issue for driveability is blipping throttle and it wanting to stall, like when parking or trying to move in slow traffic.

      As in they quoted one price, you mentioned the exhaust, and they promptly added $200 on top? Interesting.

      Note that I'm not suggesting this is a great idea. Just saying that it is something that could be done to achieve a better outcome than the more shit ideas will provide.

      What's this Foreign Object?

      By luke gtr · Posted

      I'd try removing it, connecting hoses and see if that helps. Depending on specs, it could actually be restricting the flow(it also might be helping).

      Yes, that's a hybrid BOV. The adjustable spring load ones are about making teh pressure build up higher before venting, so you get a more agressive whoosh. That is not what I meant or what you want. By "restricting", I don't mean "keep it closed until the pressure is higher, then open it fully". I mean "open it as soon as it is required, but only have a small port area, so that the flow rate out of it is slowed down". The pressure will rise to be higher than a bigger ported BOV would provide, but it would do while it is venting. The idea is to slow down the rate at which the replacement eair is flowing past the AFM, to reduce the magnitude of the air flow signal peak, to reduce the amount of fuel that is added per revolution.
