This has got me stumped not sure if its the turbo or a masive exhuast leak i cant find or hear. Ive got a series 1 rb25det in a r32 coupe . i have got it running and its all mint when super nanaing it but as soon as you give it a bit of gas it feels like it wnats 2 scream but just wont boost at all. if you put your foot flat the boost guages reads 14 but doesnt boost at all.if you keep it in vacuum it drives fine just like a de sometimes you can faintly hear the bov but thats it ne ideas b4 i resort to the shop? i have a top mount setup and using a dsr turbo with a chiped ecu set to 14 pound. could wiring havnt something to do with it .

what are you using for boost control?

ecu errors?

Ive got a tial external wastegate with a 10 psi spring and the chipped ecu i have is set @ 14 psi 240 kw on my set up .

sorry for hijacking ur thread lol

i have the same problem but mines in a r33 gtst series 1 its the same sorta problem you say it its tho mine only has a fmic, turbo back exhaust, high flow 3 inch cat, pod filter, exedy brass button clutch, also has a modified factory plenum that is front facing but the problem was there before i got the plenum modified turbosmart boost controller set at 10psi, feels like shit on boost but off boost drives good but its driving me insane i need help lol its like its a na :thumbsup: but it still says its boost and feels it sorta but not as much as when i first brought it. when i brought it it felt quick like real quick boost came on really hard it would spin the wheels in first and second in the dry when coming on boost and in the wet it would spin 1st 2nd 3rd and 4th when coming on to boost in the wet but now it doesnt feel like its coming on at all but says it is lol

can you hear your turbo spooling at all ? you say the problem started at your plenum ? ive got no idea whats causing it my turbos back off and sitting in front of me . does your your turbo shaft spin freely bt if you slightly put presure on when you turn it does it jam up?? ill be so stoked if someone busts out the answer to my prayers

sorry i ment it started before i had the plenum modified and yes i can hear the turbo spooling up and no not that i can remember but when i spin it doesnt spin for very long like it spins but slows down and stops really quick (its still on the car by the way and its stock)

same kinda buzz with mine spins but kinda cums 2 a quick suden stop . i just pulled it off becasue it was frustrating me . my external wuldnt even open up. im tryn 2 find someone that willl let me borow there turbo to see if that even is the problem. shoudnt mater if they stock or afta market they duin the same shit . does you bov faintly wehn your tryn to boost

Guys, it could also be a boost leak..... that messes with your AFR and makes the car run like crap. check all your pipework from the turbo, making sure its dry and tight.

But if your turbo comes to a hasty stop, then I hate to say... but it sounds like the turbo bearings are on their way out.

A blocked exhaust will generate high back pressure and force the wastegate open early limiting the boost you can run. A check of the muffler and cat is a good place to start.

lol yeah no boost leaks already have checked that put all new hoses clamps on will the bearings cause it to feel like the boost is barely coming on but still says it is on the boost gauge ? by the way mine is the stock turbo and its loud lol spools so loud but barely goes anywhere

what causes the bearing to go ??

i have gone over my whole engine . i have a put another intake manifold and stadard plenum on just incase the problem was there. . replaced bov. seal was dodgy leking air . now im confident i dont have any air leaks ive gone ova everything .but were the dump pipe bolts on to the turbo using a v-clamp it slighly leaks but im sure that wouldnt cause the boost bull****. And i still have the same problem . Could it be tps as they are not used but with my ecu i have to wire it in . It kinda boosted lw key today . not proply bt it was like it wanted to kinda strt to take off then just shit itself ? mab spark being the problem . or weak signal to a sensor

hey ,

My bearings were gone in my turbo . Try another turbo and id say ul b sweeeet!!!!!!

ok thats not to good to hear tho i might try another turbo on mine now that i have found out that i have been driving around without a licence for the last 1 1/2 months :P even got a fine for front tyres to worn and they didnt even pick up that i didnt have a licence. til today when i was pulled over grrrr oh well looks like i now will have a fair bit of time to get my car sorta hope my problem is the same as yours

Yea Revamp,

 

Hey Guys ive got a series 2 R33 gtst 25det ffp all the works but running a standard turbo set up with a reconditioned factory turbo and a boost solenoid running 17psi.

 

i was driving the other night and then went to do a uie with a clutch kick, kicked out went to put my foot down to take off and all i got was vacuum boost, wouldn't pull any boost, vacuums upto 0 from -15.

 

anyone know what could have happened, feels like its driving like a DE my blow off valve dont go off but you can hear the turbo sucking.

 

anyone know before i spend a fortune  on it again?

 

Cheers

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
