I think you would be more than lucky if there isnt ceramic dust inside the motor...

But anyway, you cant really tell @ idle. Obviously power/boost wont be the same... thats a given, but then why even attempt that and almost gaurantee a dead motor.

Just pull the dump off

well you have two turbos too worry about. but if it's stock then that seems reasonable. what give you the incline that they were damaged or were you just asking for future reference?

when it happens you will know about it. if you have the cash get some steel wheels put in there or upgrade. my 2c.

Symptoms are: no ability to make boost, and crappy running if you run the motor under the conditions in which it would have made boost. The working turbo will just push air backwards through the broken turbo's compressor, therefore no boost at the plenum. Idle and low throttle are fine as you are in vacuum.

just put some steal wheel turbos on a mates gtr he was on his way to adelaide and was all fine then went to over take a car and no boost, there was no bang clunk or anything just fell off. replaced turbos and checked comp and all good.

so they can let go at anytime you dont need to be giving it a hard time at all. we also never found the wheel thanks to a decat pipe.

From what i have gathered you dont have to be boosting hard thus creating massive heat and spinning the turbos at 1000000rpm for them to let go.

I guess with age, the more shaft play u get, if the exh wheel only scrapes or bites the housing this would be enough to send it flying out the back!?! That's why it's more common with the r32?!?

Its predominately heat, heat generated by shaft speed IMO.

Which is too much boost in the given application in simple terms.

eg. You are probably OK with 13-14psi for usual street duties

Circuit you wouldnt run anymore than 11-12psi... being extended laps is going to get a lot more heat in there

Hence its usually the rear turbo that lets go - hottest cyclinders are 5/6 in a stocker style setup.

Hence its usually the rear turbo that lets go - hottest cyclinders are 5/6 in a stocker style setup.

Why do 5/6 get hotter? Is that why ppl richen up 6? Or does 6 run a little leaner than the others so its just compensating?

    • And these modern "environmentally friendly" EV vehicles also run on the same smoke! When the engine, wiring, or batteries let it escape it also stops running!
    • Yeah - I found the same information too.. 30% open is like 85% of flow etc. So it's probably going to be minor if not completely imperceptible. I also have a larger pod filter here, will swap that on and see if there's any difference. The hardest part is finding a place to uh, test this. It's quite noticable just how much having ducting to the otherwise completely open pod cools the intake temps down. It's better boxed, or shielded but driving for 30 seconds really makes it plummet to near ambient temperatures. I recall in the past when I was a RB land and had a nice flowing airbox -  - Then I took the lid off and put a pod there, and gained 9 psi of boost and about 60kw from the restriction I didn't know I had - with the controller at same duty cycle. However finding people using over the radiator intakes having similar KPA drops at WOT on built setups makes me think there restriction could be the exhaust or potentially the headers. Either way though, there's no real estate to play with and nothing that can realistically be done about it. The original dyno plot without the airbox, and the larger pod had a better curve. It was later I added the ducting and airbox, and a smaller pod to make it fit in there...
    • That's not completely truthful now is it? Any flex fuelled factory cars also had the option to run on steam.
    • Yeah so I guess your mechanic would know turnaround better than me....but I would have thought you had access to same day or overnight rack rebuilds there....any big city here in Australia has that service.   There are a couple of o-rings and seals involved, I guess the risk is the part is specific not general. Other option is if you can have it on stands in your garage for a while, steering rack removal is pretty simple (2 mounting brackets, 2 ball joints (separate by undoing the nut to the top of the threads, put a pry bar between the steering arm and control arm to put pressure on it then medium force on the side of the ball joint or top of the nut with a hammer to break it free) and then the trickiest bit is the splines to the steering rack (not too bad to undo, one nut then it slides out, but mark it first so you can reassemble it straight)
    • Looks like whiteline don't do springs any more, part# used to be 70191 from a search. Any spring for a 32/33 GTR should fit, just look for something factory not lowered/firmer unless that is your goal
