Hey all

I'm getting an upgraded turbo for my R34 but apparently its bein made from scratch its a garrett GT30. Just wondering if anyone knows If it takes a while to make and why, Its gettin made by a workshop here in perth so if anybody knows peeps who work for this shop let us know.

I've been waiting for at least 4 months now, its gettin annoying.

seriously.

I forgot to say that apparently the rear housing on the origanal turbo was easily cracked by a slam of a hammer, i mean i 've heard that this workplace that is doin my turbo upgrade is expensive but does good work that isn't an issue for me i want my car to operate fine for me so i just want to know what the hell is going on, so i can continue to smoke monaro's at the lights

you know what i'mtalkin bout...............ah ha you know what it is

thats the thing i dropped 3 grand on this workshop 4 the turbo for a DEPOSIT! i know its not there fault for havin to wait for this turbo company but what the f**k WHAT THE HELLS GOING ON this group who has done good work on my car before has worked well and i'm not complaining, its the turbo building company that is delaying my process

Nah i didn't have to put down 3 g's thats what i wanted to do to pretty much pay off the whole thing. I'm also getting injectors and an air flow meter so at the moment i only owe bout a grand, don't know how much they will charge for the re-tune.

But all in all, this workshop is well known, they are always busy, they do charge a buck or two and i don't think the owner would risk bad reputation from installing a johnny cut corners turbo. So they always do good work.

Just wanted to know if anyone was makin these turbo's in perth, it's a garrett GT30 with a bigger rear housing, if you got these made and ready maybe someone can contact a performance workshop in Malaga.

Wink, wink, knudge, knudge.

Apparenty it could be easily cracked by dropping it or slamming it with a hammer so thats why they are rebuilding a whole load of them.

But tell me when once installed in your car it is going to be dropped or hit with a hammer?

so the millions of people using garrett housings are all at risk of smashed turbine housings? i've never ever seen any turbine housing of any brand break in any way..... they're the strongest part of the turbo ffs

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
