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

    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
