hey guys

i just changed the turbo on my r32 gts4, i put in a R33 turbo that was rebuilt and hiflow'd! also using a justjap slipt dump pipe(screamer)

car was running perfectly fine! the turbo lines were just all cut off and a hose fitted and tightend.

coolent is flused and new. car runs fine as it is without steping on it but then when i step on it within like a minute or so the temp gauge starts going up high!

When the car is turned off i can hear the water boiling.

Nothing is leaking!

hope someone can help so i can resolve this problem!

thanks

hmm strange...

the turbo lines were just all cut off and a hose fitted and tightend.

explain this?

you mean to say your running a water cooled turbo, without the water lines attached?

you have not bleed the cooling system correctly. you should fix this ASAP before you damage your engine.

If you are unsure how to do this, take your car to a mechanic who knows how to bleed skylines and get it done properly.

You might have an air lock in your cooling system for when you flushed it. If so, try starting your car with the rad cap open. keep it open even afther the thermostat opens. this way the bubbles will eventually go away. Hope it help!

Cheers!

Take it all the way out. It pays to turn heater on to get the air out of the heater system aswell. Water will trickle out when the air is out. It does take a little while for the water to come out okies.

take it somewhere to bleed it if you arent sure, you could easily have your temps over 100 degrees without even knowing it.

if you INSIST to do it yourself the steps are:

- start the car with the radiator cap off, keep topping it up till its filled.

- turn on the heater to the HOTTEST setting and run it at its maximum speed.

- loosen the bleeder till its around 1 thread till its off and keep it there till its completely bled.

- keep going till no bubbles come out of the bleeder.

you can use some kind of funnel type thing (see below) to help it along.

i dont have a bleeder on mine, i do the old 'put on a sealed bottle to raise the highest point of the cooling system' trick. works well, car bleeds pretty quick. you have to block off the overflow hose for it to work properly though.

I changed the coolant not long ago in mine... I did all the things security has mentioned.... thought all the bubbles were out, took it for a drive and on the pfc it was telling me straight away that the temps were going up... went straight back home (only got down the street) i let it bleed for 15 mins which i thought was enough.... ended up taking like 30 mins with the heater going full.... so how long did u bleed urs for?

you replied 30mins after i posted - i highly doubt you did it right mate.

i wait there, squeeze both of the radiator hoses continuously as im topping up my funnel thing - it just helps get ALL of the air bubbles out. i suggest taking it to someone who knows what theyre doing.

Mate dont risk f**king your engine up, dont touch it unless you know exactly what ya doing, take it, wait, and pay a proffessional mechanic to do it the right way, then you can get that piece of mind and sleep like a baby.

dont mean to sound like a dickhead, but i dont want your car to blow up :)

    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
    • Sorry I meant that we are building the EH for a client.
