Sudden Loss Of Power, Won't Idle Or Drive Above 1500rpm

Good evening Ladies and Gentleman.

I was just coming back from a little drive when I gave it a bit of a poke, maybe 75% throttle, probably making 13psi when all power was lost and a great plume of black smoke ensured.

I pulled over to the side and the car stalls at idle, I managed to limp it the 1km back home, whilst limping it would not allow me to rev it past 1500rpm without it coughing and spluttering.

Engine is a NEO6 with a newly (<500kms) rebuilt high flow turbo.

You can free rev the engine a bit, bit will stall straight on idle, thinking it maybe the AFM? it does read .05v on the SW check and does change voltage with a light rev though.

Hoping it's not the turbo as it's freshly rebuilt, AND I am supposed to be leaving for QLD tomorrow morning, grrr.

If anyone could shed some light it would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like you've blown a cooler pipe off

That's what I thought too, I checked for that...

But I didn't see the one that was blown off! oops

Thanks for that mate, seem like a bit of a goose now, but a now happy goose, I'll put that sucker back on and hopefully we'll be laughing.

I am moving to Queensland, leaving tomorrow actually, I've heard good things about ERD, I'll give you a call when I need work done, thanks mate :)

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
