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.

      Yeah agreed, you can't assume that shop are they only people who ever had to work on it. It was just a guess on the mods based on how things were done back then. You can check the Air Flow Meters by the part number on their tags, they are likely either Z32 or Nismo ones (both read about the same but the Z32 one is a little larger while nismo is stock size but supports the higher airflow like a Z32). And yes, all that would get you to 450hp / 340kw To tell what is happening with the turbos, you want a photo of the tag on the core, that will say what it was made out of  (they can retain the front and rear covers to make the plumbing easier)

      1992 R32 GT-R Race Car

      By bardabe · Posted

      I'm selling my personal race car. 1992 BNR32 Skyline GT-R About eight years ago the engine developed the dreaded low oil pressure problem. I removed it and found the issue. However shortly after I moved half way across the country, moved my work shop, bought a house, got married, then moved my shop again to it's permanent location for the time being. in turn I do not have the time to race this car as it should be. In turn the engine I built for this car will end up in my street car and this car I hope finds a home with someone who can use it to it's full potential. The roll bar was built by Jason Noren Fabricaiton in Pomona California to SCCA and NASA Specs. The car used to compete in redline time attack and global time attack enthusiast class. It also has a fire suppression system.  The car is with me at my workshop in Kyle Texas, USA. Shipping it is no problem, I can personally deliver the car to the port of either Houston or Los Angeles. Any other port depending on where it is may require transport but we can always work that out.   The chassis itself is rust free, rear quarters and under fenders are free of any rust so it's a very solid foundation for anyone who wishes to move forward with it. As posted and at the asking price of $20,000 USD the car includes all of the following;   All OEM Body panels, front fenders, rear bumpers etc.  OEM Nissan Projector headlamps (Pictured N1 lamps were removed) OEM Nismo Side Skirts / Extensions OEM Rear Spats  Front & Rear Subframes are installed car is full roller Rear Subframe has Cusco Camber Arms, Whiteline HICAS Elimination Front Subframe has Whiteline tension rods and whiteline Sway bars w/ endlinks.  Buddy Club N1 Coilovers All chassis wiring and engine wiring is in tact. Attessa System is fully in tact and was functional before engine removal.  BCNR33 GT-R Brembo Brakes F+R with Endless MX72 Plus Pads, DBA Rotors & Stainless Steel Brake lines Billion Racing Radiator Billion Radiator Hoses Fluidyne Engine Oil Cooler Accusump System (trunk Mounted) 5 Speed Transmission w/ Transfer Case F+R Prop-shafts Rear Differential With rear Axles.  Nismo Gauge Cluster Nismo Clutch + Flywheel   Essentially what is needed to make this car running and driving again is as follows: A working Engine, an ECU, and time to put it together. The price posted is or best offer as I am willing to remove some components to accommodate price to a certain extent. If any serious buyer wants full detailed pictures, videos, or any questions I'll be happy to answer them. I believe this car is priced to move quickly considering it's a rust free and very straight chassis but always open to fair negotiation.  I can be contacted via phone or email.
