Hey Everyone,

i thought i would see what everyone else thinks on this issue with my GTR, since its the weekend all the shops are closed so i cant take it anywhere until next week :(

This is the problem i am facing, since last night my car hasn't been boosting properly (going to 0.4 bar when it normally goes to 0.8) my exhaust note inst as loud as it normally is when your pressing the accelerator. It all happened when i hit max boost and high revs (7000rpm) it just cut out on me, boost was down and exhaust note was very different all of a sudden. The engine still revs but its very doughy and you can hear the turbo spool a little but not as much. could it be a possible blocked cat? not sure what else it can be, i look at the hoses on the intake and BOV and all seem to be fine.

Any ideas where i could take the car on the gold coast if its not a cat issue?

my car is still making power (0.4 BAR boost) but the car is just struggling to get there and the exhaust is very quiet, if it was a turbo wouldnt it make no boost?

also another thing to add is that both inlet pipes are sucking and the main hose to the plenum is making a fair bit of flow. so the motor is getting air.

if it was the exhaust wheel in the turbo's the intake should be producing flow correct? also there doesnt seem to be any oil usage just alot of fuel dumping out

Well if you've only blown one turbo then the other one will still be boosting.

Check cat first, quick and easy.

The second turbo will spin, but wont make any boost as the air blows back through the compressor of the dead turbo.... So since OP is getting boost, its not an exploded turbine.

Load up the car on a dyno or going up a hill and see if the cat starts to glow red. If so its a blocked cat, had same issue with mine when it was stock

lol wouldnt it be much easier and safer just to drop the cat and look? if a turbo is half rooted (also being ceramic) the last thing u wanna do is spin the engine at 7000+ rpm

Probably not, loading up meaning 2500-3000rpm up a hill in 4th, so its under load, if the cats blocked doing this for about 10-15 seconds will make it glow, seems easier than jacking the car up, and taking the cat out...

each to their own, im just saying if theres any chance it could be the turbo i wouldn't be boosting it. when i did my standard turbo the bearings went causing the impeller to spin out of balance (very slightly) causing it to just nip the sides of the housing which chipped tiny bits of the blades off, mind you as soon as it blew i didn't boost it at all on the drive home but if i did im sure it would have just smashed apart the impeller wheel completely and if it were a GTR theres a good chance it will go through the intake side.

yep it was definetly the a blocked cat, here is a picture of what it looked like from the front. pretty impressive i must say.

so now i have a new stainless high flow 200 cel cat, the car has never run so good..... makes me think the cat has been blocked since i bought it. best $300 i have spent yet!

thanks for your advice everyone :)

Regards,

Dom

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
