What has happened???????

Please need the info????

Mike

The turbo's are off the car again, my less than a year old rebuilt turbo's are fcked. The shop who did them is accepting no responsibility and wholly believes the problem was caused by being overboosted! Even though I dont even have a boost controller! Had second inspection and symptons are similar to overboosting, BUT he KNOWS that steel wheeled GTR turbo's can handle 17-18psi easily :rofl: So, yeah dont know what to do just yet. Turbo's are in a million pieces and will be just over $2grand to repair them. I don't wanna spend the money but a set of HKS GTSS turbo's are not much over $3grand on greenline ;)

Jono

well this is no skyline..but thought it would be worth a mention!!!!!

Old VK Commodore...bit arse chormies....and wait for it

.................................wait a little longer

A HUUUUGGGEEEEE Veilside wing....

Well I saw the wing long before the car and thought it would be shaolin!!!!

oh god, I laughed so damn hard..

    • List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter? 
    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
