Hey guys so i finally installed my new highflow! drove around probably 20kms-30kms , it was great.. the power is unbelieviable pulls like crazy!! but then suddenly it siezed up! so i had to drive home checked it nothing looked wrong . Now could this be due to starvation from the oil? not much oil is coming in to the turbo? Is there a procedure we have to do before we install back in the turbo?

Thanks..

What sort of hi-flow?

If it was bush bearing, i do believe you cant just bolt on as the stock lines do not slow enough.

Similar to the Slide hi-flows that were being done, that required the oil line or something to be enlarged.

You didnt get enlarged lines or informed to put larger lines on there to start?

Or perhaps they are not needed... but then if others need enlargement i cant see how any other would be different regardless of warranty because its still a head fk to pull a turbo on/off labour wise

Interesting....

recently had head work done, and ended up with a cracked head.

while in diagnosis mode there was too much oil going into the Slide bush bearing highflow, due to tomei restrictors in the head

whilst that was fixed and the correct flow was managed (get a good tuner buddy! BoostWerx for the win) oil was still being burnt

new head was reflowed and ported etc with my stuff moved into it

retuned on dyno, with turbo copping a beating for 3yrs, for 226rwkw

bush bearing turbos arnt that bad. for $600 + a dead turbo its a great deal!

MUST ensure correct oil flow, but even with too little / too much you've got a window of opportunity to fix the issue before all hell breaks loose

good luck with the new oil lines

Ive always done atleast 100k's before i put the foot down to run it in. Bush bearing hiflows are crap though in all honesty.

BAHAHA its a known fact that bush bearing are far more hardy than BB.... dont post crap.

Ah now now Trent :P

You know as long as lower shaft speeds and oil pressure is observed then they are OK.

Soon as you go above things (or below) then things start to fail.

Same can indeed be said for ball bearing turbo's, infact BB items are overall more sensitive... fact remains though that anything can be killed. :thumbsup:

On a side note, when are you going to attend a damn cruise?

This is basically what that was:

25-11-06_1316.jpg

The high flowed turbo was fitted with stock oil line and bolted up with a stock oil feed screw. (on right) We did not carry out this installation.

Problem was on the standard oil restriction valve. The Turbo siezed up, without blowing smoke. It needs to have as much oil as possible to flow. Braided oil feed line is required to make this work.

All internal bearing components used in this high flow are original Garrett

what bolt is that on the left?

is that the one uz fitted to Geraus car??

whats the required inside diameter of the banjo bolt or fittings??

coz my speedflow fitting are the same size internal diameter as the one on the RIGHT(stock)..

but without the restriction in the bolt...

that will be fine, the restrictor on the stock fitting is about 1-2mm and the speedflow one is about 4mm from memory.

      When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?

      Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov

      yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
