Hey guys,

I need your help once again. Blew my turbo. Drove it hard on 13psi and blew it. Im pretty sure its the turbo as the boost doesnt spool up+noise.

I need to fix the car asap so i need quick help, don't have time for much research that's the reason for starting a new thread, sorry.

What im after:

-turbo that's an upgrade, better than my stockie but doesn't need to be 1000hp either, something medium power.

Can also someone suggest me where i should look for a turbo/what shops/wreckers are good to call and check out?

Also, good workshop for the fitting of a new turbo, suggestions please

Im basically wanting to make about 240RWKW.

-so please if you have a suggestion, ill be keeping a close eye on this thread and all help is appreciated.

So i need:

Turbo recommendation:

What shop wreckers to check out:

Workshop to fit:

Thanks heaps, ADIS.

Read that firstly, will save you a lot of money, secondly look in the for sale section for a hi flow, they are a direct replacement and will get you around 250rwkw with good response.

Thank you for your reply. Hi flow is good option, but ill give other turbos a bit of a thought and ill make my decision in next couple of days.

I think the guys are RE customs have a nice Apexi turbo for sale for around $1000 which will make the power you're after. Call Mick or Ray on 9548 3414

Thank you-will give them a call first thing Monday.

Fellas, please don't be shy with your suggestions, what ever you think i should try let me know please as i need to make a decision very soon. Pm me or write here or sms/call 0421 864 698. Adis

Im 50/50 on maybe getting a bigger sucker or just going the easy option and hi flow it. In saying that, im not sure if i should buy one or hi flow mine, and what shops to call.

Thanks.

roughly what size? comparable to a GT30? or smaller?

I suggest you get a bigger turbo not a high-flow Turbo.

Yes, I have a high-flow and I'm making 235 kw and it's really responsive - but you will find soon you want more power, e.g. 300+ and you will have to get another turbo soon. You sound a bit power-hungry, so I suggest you go the bigger turbo now...the GT30 is a good size in my opinion.

Bro you are probably right, i will get power hungry but you gotta draw a line somewhere. For bigger turbo ill need to spend extra 1k. plus labor for fitting turbo, plus full ecu,plus tune, plus injectors, plus all other shit, to be honest i cant afford so i have to be happy with 230 kw or so. But you are right, ill get used to it and ill want more...but i better not. f*k its like a drug lol

Kevin, how bout i buy your hi flow and you get ur self a gt30 :down: deal? haha

the stock afm is able to max much lower than 230rwkw

ive seen max and i have 190rwkw

you can still tune with it maxing, and its important to note when it maxes

maxing at 6500rpm means nothing, maxing at 3000rpm to redline

just means it runs like a map sensor and its annoying to tune

still workable, just have to juggle load points

its typically accepted that you replace it past 200rwkw

to ensure you use as many load points as possible, which makes for a better tune

bahhh 190kw? cmon man, are you kidding? firstly let's exclude afms that have been found in the local river, and we'll also exclude spaz engines/ecu's that r&r at 10psi (other issues at play here)

then we can assume, under normal circumstances, 230kw wouldnt be a stretch.

And then we exclude "happy" dyno's and we are back to 200-210

lol well that was a nice round trip :)

but i'm sticking to my 230, happy dynos or not.

edit:

anyway, lets tell the guy what he wanted to know. which turbo.

hks2535 or gt-rs. buy a used one, if on a budget. either of these is my pick over the highflow.

LOL, well i did get 223rwkw with the standard ecu, i then put in the pfc and had it tuned and got 210, i know the 220 was a happy dyno and the 210 was on a dyna pack which are known to be a little conservative.

ahhh so a little conservative, and a little bit happy, evens out at 220 in your case. we're getting closer lol

    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
