its all cool matey... v.hard to balance everything tho. waiting on tax-back from previous financial yr.

grabbing a kit from a mate shortly, cheers,

took off the dump/front pipe and there isnt any oil leakage to the front/rear of the turbo

so, here goes the compression test.........

hey sorry wasn't trying to be rude or anything, sorry if i sounded like a dick.

Just borrow a compression kit if you can, that 50 bucks can be better spent on your family. I'm sure someone here can help you out.

would of thought your used to that now :(:down:

my bet still on a boost leak,

engine and working turbo are unlikely to cause the symptons your describing.

however if a cooler pipe expands under pressure exposing a leak,

then it all escapes thru the leak, cause its the path of least resistance. ie not compressed.

the air flow metre is reading normal because it before the turbo, so it thinks your on boost and therfor tells the injectors to start pumping lots of fuel.

however the engine isnt injesting this air due to the leak so it suddenly goes way rich. like 6 to 1 afr's.

hence all the smoke, minimal boost , and running like crap when on boost.

presurise the inlet sytem before you pull any more apart.

driving home last night going up the expressway hill I had heaps of bad surging (1psi) couldnt boost anywhere near asper normal, and black smoke billlllowing out the exhaust (on boost only)

felt bad, climbed up off boost in left lane.

today driving, same thing. boost is bad (wound down the ebc to .3bar) as soon as it hits 1psi - 3psi it is surging, airflow is all turbulent, and the turbo sounds like its working its head off (not squealing, just 110% load), lots of black gooky smoke and just generally bad bad.

also

when you boot it the turbo is working flat out to make any boost,

the ebc isnt reading boost from the manifold so it tells the turbo to work even harder.

all in all compounding the issue

there is oil around the block, at #1 piston area, next to the exhaust manifold, and looks to be sprayed onto the front of the turbo and the surrounding areas

borrowing a comp.tester soonish...

seeing the dump is off and the turbo is totally exposed, I'll drop off all the ic-joins and see each area for a split.

stick a plastic bag over your afm and then pump compressed air into your vac line up near your inlet manifold.

this will pressurise everything and show you where the leak is.

often the leak wont show itself until its under pressure

Surge... Sounds much like a boost leak.

My turbo to IC joiner developed a pin prick hole that would open right up under boost and created bad surge and the car felt dead. Idled and drove with under 4psi or so perfectly fine.

Edited by TheRogue

definately 100% sure there is no boost leak.

did a compression test just now

140, 140, 142, 138, 140, 140psi across the 6 cylinders, very happy with that (105,000km 12yrs old)

the dump pipe is coked in oily carbon dust. thick. shaft play left/right up/down but not forward/backwards. going to take the last 7 bolts off shortly (4 manifold, 2 oil, 1 water line) and have the turbo in my hands.

exhaust housing was pretty dusty, dark thick oil smelling dust, goes right thru the dump (end of dump is really thick, recent too, ie it isnt old residue, it's fresh) and most likely thru to the muffler. the jjr dump is in excellent condition, going to clean all this gunk out of it tho, and replace the 02 sensor.

so, 1st thoughts were correct, oil seals / bearing inside the turbo is failing. caught it in time before she blew.

will have the turbo off later today, have a good look and see whats gone.

yeah its good to be able to diagnose it and get into it (wasnt that long to take apart really)

need a socket no.24 tho lol for the water line. damn.

oil line is cracked, will drain the sump shortly, then scrounge for a 24' socket, dont trust my spanner to Not strip the thread :(

Just a thought, you're running a PFC are you not? You didn't happen to look at your airflow meter settings did you? I looked at mine once to see what options there was and unintentionally changed it to a diff afm. It's easy to do, when the list is up on the screen you just scroll down. No confirmation or anything.

my turbos on its way out too :wacko:

making wierd noises at full power, so since last service (3 months) been running on lowest boost and just driving it like a grandma lol

any1 give me any tips as to what i should do?

im thinking 2 just swap it over with a 2nd hand r33 series 2 turbo?

dun wana spend do much, cos prob sell her end of the yr...

Vange, long time no see buddy! Yeah you could just do a nice swap over with another S2 turbo or get in contact with Madaz and see if he wants to sell you my old hi-flow turbo. Either way, when you get a turbo let me know and I'll swap it over with ya!

Check for blow by Brendo.

hey pal!

got the turbo off in my hands now

pretty good nick, sure its inside tho..... one of the shaft seals.

getting prices later on

and yeah going to buy a oil catch can setup as well

not sure, there are signs on the turbo of excessive bearing noise and play, front wheel is just starting to hit the comp.housing inlet bore

going to get a price for a basic rebuild kit for this one

and a price to highflow stock housings I have with gt2871 & stock r33 core plus bb pack and wheels - give em 1 turbo + parts for another and get two new ones back =)

also will go over the piping eveywhere for the inlet charge and see whats going on, probably get a metal one made up (welded) while we are at it instead of using 5 silicone joiners

go for one hard return pipe at the back of the fmic going up towards the throttle body and that will get rid of 3 joiners

went and had a good chat to bill at ATS, marion rd.

took him the turbo he went right over it

told him the symptoms, after 4yrs the turbo could do with a freshen up but at this stage its all intact just 'used'

got a price for rebuild my highflow, and a price to take it all and give me a GT3071

so... arranged to upgrade to a GT30r 3071r with 6bolt nissan-RB outlet, new lines

but then there is this

post-18854-1240449503_thumb.jpg

hmmmm - thats the current line, split right thru. that'd cause some oil supply issues ?

oil has definately gone thru the turbo and been burnt to a light powder, thick deposits thru the dump, black oily smoke, surging etc

it isnt the engine as such, piston rings are fine and spark plugs are all whitish from fuel no sign of oil

anyway, gave ATS my bag of turbos and new td05h/16g + ball bearing, he's discounting it all for a new GT30 :(

so thats that

now to make up a better hardpipe set to/from the intercooler - but yeah no splits there as is.

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
