Could be a few things - missing the little ball inside the boost t? (is it brand new??)

You could have it installed in the wrong lines?

You could have changed the vaccume line and its too big now to control boost correctly etc.

Follow the DIY here on skylinesaustralia - its pretty straight foward... if you have any dramas pop me a PM and i'll see if i can give you a hand.

I can have a look for you and install it if it's not installed properly. Won't take more than 10mins, unless you've done something funky.

The last time I helped someone install one, they decided to install it on a line to the Carbon canister.

When putting in a T peice as a boost controller and its fully open and/or closed depending on what type it is you can creat "overboost". Popps/splutters and lack of grunt can occur during overboost. Included is air/fuel ratio, do you have an intercooler and some of the other upgrade gear like zorst, filter etc..

However if you heard a loud "pop" and then heaps o smoke it is likely the turbs is farked.

Get a mech to confirm your issue. To be sure to be sure.

BTW - 7psi is stock from memory and 14-15psi would be max (straight through, no restrictions)

try the traders on the forums,

but you have

slide

nengun

justjap to name a few

I'd get a mechanic to check it first. My turbo blew just recently, you'd want to get the car looked at to make sure it is in fact the turbo. and not the engine as well.

Not a good idea.

Some of the Traders may have just removed a working turbo to replace with an upgrade. Be very carefull buying second hand from an individual. Have it checked out or buy one that has been is my advice.

Go to the For Sales on SAU and check out some posts.

Cheers S!N

PS. Yup Slide :D for good advice

Oh and you could get Garret in Fyshwick to check it out ($60)

tryed puting the boost t on through the diy it mad a pop sound and now is blowing smoke so i am now thinking that the turbo is f**ked so pissed off any ideas

By the sound of it you have incorrectly installed the bleed valve (boost controller) and may have blown the turbo...

1. When it made the "pop" noise, were you revving the engine?

2. What line did you install the bleed valve in and are you sure that you didnt put it in upside down?

3. Have you tried removing the bleed valve and returning the engine to near stock, then starting it?

Where abouts are you located in Canberra? - If you need someone to check it I may be able to help.

P.S. Do NOT buy a second hand turbo... If you do need a new turbo, buy a new quality branded product from a reputable dealer or you may regret it in the long run.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
