So the latest with my car is that I dont think its the turbos. After finding some long fingers and taking more pipe work off they spin fine with no play. The swirl marks that I saw from down the mirror where just fine oil and dust.

Going back to the cat it wasn't collapsed but it has a bit of carbon build up in it. Would this cause a huge restriction. It also has a blue tinge to it so it suggests its getting hot. After the shudder the exhaust note was quieter.

If I had blown a turbo I would of thought I wouldn't get any boost?

Im still getting 10 out of the 20 that it was set to. Plenty of pressure on the wastegate.

Ive checked all pipework and boost hoses. Car still starts and drives ok it just wont get the boost it used too.

Have I missed something before I put it all back together? Or do I need to pull more apart. I havent checked the back of turbos they are N1s so I would think the wheel is still there.

If I were you Brad I would take the GTR for a quick burn (very late at night) with the exhaust and cats removed and see if it will make 20psi. If it does, then it rules out the cats or collapsed exhaust out of the equation.

Bit of work done today. :)

Motor in, then gearbox in, now tomorrow to cut intercooler holes :)

nice!

ps: on your yahoo travels luke, can you keep an eye out for a 4" hks super drager cat back for a jza80 for me ? do u know how much they go for...need 1 real soon...? Thanks.

Good to see that thing getting together now. Will come and lend a hand/have a beer with ya when I am free mate :D

I just worked out the cause to my boost problem. It was a half blocked cat. There was a fair bit of carbon build up. It was very black inside. The cat should be a nice brown colour inside from the carbon being burnt off. Anway did the cowboy thing and bashed it out. Now the car boosts even better than before.

Since were talking about tunes. Should I get my car tuned again? Only because last time it would of had a part blocked cat. And now it flows better.

I always thought running N1s @ 20psi would get more than 265awkw.

not sure if anyone has read this about iphones/devices, but really apple didn't test them in australia based upon the temp restrictions did they ? even outside the car they get over that hot ?

Apple over temp warning

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
