i think we have all had this problem m8

the other thing that will do it as well if your actuator arm comes off the waste gate you wont get any boost at all :-)

i think its a big inspection job going through all you IC piping as mentioned before, and undoing then redoing the connections so you know they are done correctly

takes a while but it could save you forking out for a turbo you dont need :-) worse case is ur turbo, if there is no smoke it just means u have not burst ur oil seals in ur turbo :-) so might get away with a cheap refurb of ur turbo

You know u can take off the intake pipe to the turbo and look for broken fins, bulk oil, or loads of shaft play back and forth, up and down. Its not hard to inspect. But do that after u have checked the intercooler piping silicone hose joiners

could try take off the piping to the compressor side of your turbo and manually spin it. if it spins then start the engine (on idle)and see if the compressor wheel is spinning with the motor running. no spin= no exhaust wheel.

if spinning then could be intercooler piping.

well, turns out it was a bearing issue in the turbo... i pulled it out this morning and took it to a few workshops... shaft is a little bent but even still, not much play, but the bearing has gone for sure... so its time for a new turbo... cuz i have all the money in the world to spend!!

Anyways, i think the thing that has pissed me off the most about this issue, is no matter who i asked, NOBODY could tell me why it is so damn expensive to rebuild a turbo.... NOBODY!!

Other than that, thanks alot for your help guys, if anyone has a 33 series 2 turbo or a neo 6 turbo.. please let me know...

Oh and ryhs... id still beat you!! lol

Thats some real bad luck, keep your eyes peeled for a second hand turbo.. im sure something will pop up.. go searching the for-sale section. I've heard of good condition R33 turbos going for $350. Anything you buy though claiming to be good condition, make it condition of sale that it passes an inspection by a turbo-savvy mechanic, that is unless you're confident enough to check it out for yourself prior to purchasing.

Good luck!

got a s1 turbo going for 250bux if stuck, but i think there is plenty out there at the moment. when i got my hi flow rebuilt it cost 300 bux just for the compressor wheel, without fitting it. parts cost lots of money when the have to do eleven billionty rpm

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.

      Looking for someone with a R34 front bar

      Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
