Hey guys,

Picked up my car from the shop today and was running perfectly. Was driving it home just about an hour ago and i gave it a little in first, car hit the limiter and backfired a little and after that i went easy on it as i didnt really mean to hit the limiter. Now since ive got it home its idleing fairly roughly and blowing a bit of black smoke, boost is rough to, when i accelerate at around 40/50 km/h it surges a little and isnt smooth at all.

Any ideas what ive done here? i wasnt hard on the car at all and the ECU which is F-Con V Pro is set to a safe limit etc so i didnt think i could damage it very easily.. there is no white smoke or leaks or obvious signs everything else is ok, starts perfectly etc.

+1 probably cooler pipe. Does it still make boost??

It makes boost but its very hesitant and choppy and doesnt wind up properly. Should i try building it up to 4000rpm or so and seeing if it makes proper boost? I guess that would indicate a pipe could be loose?

Ok so i just tried and at 4k, 4.5k it was pretty much not making any boost. Does that indicate there is a leak in the system somewhere? Ive checked the pipe to the plenum and it is fine. The pipes connecting to both sides of the cooler are ok to. Is it likely to have come off in a particular spot?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
