My Car Just Went Bang

[horrace]

I have a 3" bellmouth front/dump too, I get it out in 20 minutes, pull it out from underneath once the bolts are off. I never tried putting it in from the engine bay that would be hard!

[Stagea_Neo]

for you sake, hope nothing serious.

when my r31 did the same as you describe, it was a backfire (loud bang), then black smoke and loss of power,

could only feather the throttle to get the car driving normally/grandma style.

the fuel pressure regulator shat itself and dumped a heap of fuel then flowed a constant 320kpa. replaced and all good.

when you reved out to 6k easily, was that driving (engine under load) or in park/neutral?

mine could do that in neutral/park, but not under load/driving, would just flood and stall if i tried to give it a bit.

My car drives perfectly fine just really slow.

Sounds a lot like when my 32 sheared the shaft and spat the turbine out, changed from second to third, POP, no power, black smoke... was actually slower when I blew an intercooler pipe off, but I still had 1 turbo left...

[lilcrash]

ok here is the result, sheared the shaft and the turbine went out the exhaust, it dinted the o2 sensor and scored up the houseing a bit, also my front wheel has hit the housing and chipped the wheel a few time. no shaft play but very grindy/sandy sounding when i spin it.

send it to hypergear

$800 and you will have steel wheels and moar flow

[lilcrash]

I was thinking sending it to gcg, $1955 for a ball bearing highflow. I know that ball bearing is bad if you backfire but yer I just feel better that way

[KiwiRS4T]

I got a GCG highflow and it was fine but now I wonder why I bothered - for about the same (or less) money I could have got a brand new GT3076 (in fact my GT3540 only cost NZ$2200).

The advantage of the highflows is that they bolt straight up so no extra costs for new lines etc.

[kidafa]

Just out of interest how many psi are you running?

[lilcrash]

I get about 11psi at 3000 rpm and 5-6psi from 4500/4750 up to redline. But this week it hit boost cut a few times on the days it was below 10 degrees.

[lilcrash]

I was looking at the gt3076 kit at gcg for $2990 but not sure if it's worth the extra $1000

apparently once the oil is warm bush bearings are no worse that a ball bearing because it actually floats on a thin film of oil

some ppl say they actually have less resistance

if its a neo turbo hypergear can make it flow enough for about 270rwkw i think

[chef_stagea]

buy my hks 25/35 turbo near new... minter and good for much more power than ur putting out... and as responsive as per stock!

pm me for details

[lilcrash]

Ive only had a ball bearing turbo once and i didnt kniw it was ball bearing until i replaced it so it probably doesnt matter any way, If I can get it I would like to have 400hp at all 4 wheels. Other then that I guess I'm up for a nistune. Either way my wife is very very angry at me for breaking it again.

[lilcrash]

Chef I was looking at a few of your parts actually . Turbo, ecu, injectors, z32.

hypergear made a ceramic ball bearing highflow out of a neo turbo and it made 320kw (430hp) on 21psi

the hks 2530 would be sick tho, i'd love to have some spare $$$ to buy one

[lilcrash]

Chef - what exhaust housing does the 25/30 have?

[lilcrash]

I don't want to buy a new dump pipe, I've just gotten it to a nice purple colour lol

[pipster11]

pretty sure the 2530's come with the nissan dump pattern on them

hence why they are a good bolt on option

i wish i had a spare $2k to buy up some of chef's parts

[lilcrash]

It is looking like a good option, will it be big enough for 400hp?
