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

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
