Hi all

there is something wrong with the r33.

Firstly after putting in a 2nd hand replacement turbo, i decided to take the car for a spin ... soon afterwards there was this weird sound, and there after accerlatation was poor and there was absolutely no boost.

The replacement turbo had done around 58000 kms.

There's this sound from the air filter,which may be coming from the turbo, it sounds like a pinging sound, or maybe the blade is hitting the wheel of the turbo.

Can u guys give me some suggestions to why im having no boost at all?

I checked the intercooler pipes to see if anything is loose, all seems fine.

PLEASE help, want to get back on the road...

cheers

Sounds like someone sold you a dud turbo, i'd be taking it off if its making bad noises.

Yep, thats what it sound's like.

Pull off the intake and exhaust pipes and check that the turbo spins and doesn't scrape anthing or move on the shaft too much.

Also check that you still have an exhaust wheel. If it's still got an exhaust wheel then read on.

Did the turbo come with any kind of warranty? Was it from a shop? If not then do the following. It'll cost you a little bit of money but you will get a full refund on the turb.

Take it off the car and take it to a turbo specialist, say you've just bought it and want it checked out before you put it on your car. It'll cost you some money but at the end of the day you'll get a bit of paper that says either "turbo good" or "turbo ****ed". Take that back to the bloke who sold it to you and and tell him to ram his dud turbo up his arse.

I've been caught out before on my old rx7. Good bearing, dud oil seals. It was worse than the one i took off. Crack the shits and get a refund. Back yourself if they say it has no warranty. They have to give your money back if its checked out by a professional.

check that your wastegate actuator arm is still connected and has not come loose. This happened to a mate of mine. He had no boost and a noise from the actuator arm rattling around. Should take no time at all to fix if thats the problem.

Thanks for all the replys.

BHdave - Yea the turbo was bought privately and with no formal warranty. I just taken the car to the mechanics where they found that it is the turbo and something to do with the wastegate being closed.

I will try to get my money back fromt he guy i bought the turbo off. If not maybe hi-flo the turbo.

sinisteR32 - yea, definately will check if anything is in the exhaust once i get back to the mechanic

i ll keep you updated

Cheers

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
