No Boost?!

Went out for a drive tonight and after boosting up and slowing down noticed a weird whine comming from the passengers side at the front, sounds like a supercharger. Pulled over and had a look around, then while demonstrating the sound to people I was with I noticed that it wasn't making any boost.

Gauge would get to 0 and then it would whine.

Had another look around and noticed a vacumn line that goes to a canister near the air filters was off. Reconnected it but it didnt fix.

Car is a r32 gtr running twin trust t517z's with a hks evc 4 ebc.

I was thinking bov's or wastegate actuators, but a mate thought it could be a split intercooler pipe.

Did manage to get it to boost a little, but only like 0.1 bar.

Anyone have any ideas?

If its a whistling sound my guess would be intercooler piping has popped off somewhere and leaking boost (hopefully not split, or something worse).

Last time this happened to me the piping had popped off the 'Twin Turbo' cooler pipe.

Almost sounds like a hose has blown off. Was it puffing black smoke out the exhaust?

No smoke, the car is running just like normal, just no boost

I'm going to have a look at the piping today and if i can't find anything i'll chuck it on a hoist at work and have a better look.

somewhere between your turbos and your engine is an intake leak.. could be BOV's stuck open, could be intercooler piping, could be one of the VAC lines that runs to your boost controller, fuel pressure vac line, etc. etc. start from your turbo's and work your way over to the engine. Might be easier if you remove the front bar.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
