Hey guys,

As some of you may know, i have been having turbo issues, but if you dont, my car makes 0 boost, which is due likly to the issue i am about to describe.

Here is a short video i made, as you can see, the exaust turbine wheel is "bent" toward one direction. Im almost 100% sure the turbine is bent.

Could there be a possibility that the bearing has been shot?

What other possibilities could there be?

The turbo is a HKS 2530.

Here is the video:

hey nice video spielburg. looks like something from the blair witch project.

anyway....yes bearings collapsed or shaft bent. chuck away that american made rubbish and buy a decent chinese turbo like KKR 480 for about the same power at 1/4 the price

HAHAHAHA :P

You know, my movie taking skills :banana:.

Now, did this collapse because of a garbage turbo (AKA HKS), or can it be due to bad oil, blocked line, or something similar?

of course its not coz of a garbage turbo lol.. HKS is one of the best and until its proven otherwise will remain so

millions of reasons a turbo goes bad.. only way to find out what happened is to open it up n look @ the damage... see whats actually broken and see why..

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
