forging it is an option. In your case I would buy a used motor first and keep your failed one to see if you actually need to spend the money on another build later

get a used motor

whack it in

make sure everything is done and hooked up right

limp it straight to a tuner and have them do the rest, no matter how much work it is just let them do it.... please.

Your a strange feller lilcrash. From all the issues you have resolved you are obviously capable with a reasonable level of mechanical work. The strange thing is the bizarre conclusions you come to and wont listen to other peoples advice when its very common stuff.

Yep a rebuild or throw another stock engine in.

The fact that the engine was fine with the standard turbo means sometime since the new turbo was fitted you have been running lean or with too much timing for one reason or another. Its important to get things setup correctly before getting a tune so the tune can be helpful. If you change things after a tune, the tune is out and can no longer be assumed safe (depending on whats changed).

With enough fuel and a good tune, the engines are really strong so my advice would be a replacement standard one especially after reading about all the rebuild failures on here.

This problem only started last week. There wasn't any strange noises and it was only running 15/16psi. All there was is the fuel then oil smells. A few days later the oil poured out the breathers.

I have got a fair bit of experience, my dad refuses to pay anyone to do anything so I'm the same. I don't not try things to be an arse or anything, there is just always things go wrong before I get to try things then I forget about what I was going to try. I do appreciate all the help I've been getting.

you were running 15/16psi with problems, so you thought going to 25psi was going to solve it? BIt of extra boost will just "clear out the problems", like blow them out the exhaust? All its done is blown your rings and ring lands out of your exhaust.

Its well and truly made sure your engine is completely rooted.

Oil spewing out of the cam covers means blowby. Its your dipstick popping out too??

You're dreaming if you sit here "hoping" that its just a blown head gasket. Even after a compression test you still "want" it to be the head gasket.

The engine is f**ked, bad. You need to pull it out, get it rebuilt, and never touch a boost setting on a car ever again in your life.

I think you have missed half the stuff in this thread, my 18psi actuator wasn't holding boost so stao sent me another one, the new one made 25psi, 25psi wasn't intending on running, but that's what happened. This problem was there before it was spiking 25psi, it started when it was running 16psi.

Quote for a drive in/drive out rebuild $10k

Hence the advice to throw in another stock engine. If your mr home mechanic then you could have a go at replacing it yourself.

Cars are generally not the thing to just try yourself and learn from your mistakes because they are so costly. At least have someone knowledgeable check it over or give you advice in the first place.

Yeah I'm leaning towards buying a motor, most are between $2-$3k so be an easier option.

I have done more then a few engine swaps/removals over the years so I think I should be right, it will give me a chance to fix all the turbo install problems while it's out.

I had a full forged bottom end rebuild performed for me for $4200. Included engine out & back in, and for the retune once Ive completed the running-in of the engine. 10k Is a VERY steep price. Its in these instances it pays to have a regular tuner whom you have a good repore with.

Also included a clean up of the head (head was previously ported; was checked out for condition and refreshed), bore and hone of block, etc.

    • I can ship Nismo floor mats to you: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/nismo-floor-mats-for-skyline-r33-bcnr33-stagea-wgnc34?_pos=1&_sid=9278c1467&_ss=r  
    • Here's the link: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6642/misc/G49?frame_no=WGNC34-137122 What you think about it? The same product i found on nengun: https://www.nengun.com/oem/parts/40567/MiPwn5qAMfCfmpxHNDnwn5q9MDAx8J-QiW9sZC1qcC0xMTAtRzQ5LS0wMDE/Floor+Carpet+%2F+Mat+2/0688339eba149c19 Bot i have spoken to 😅 ensured me, that mats are 100% original, oem product. I have my doubts. I also heard what you mentioned, that nengun often offers items that are actual not available... On the other hand mats i found on japanese yahoo or ebay are in poor condition and still quite expensive so i'd rather wait for some better offers. My location - Poland. We literaly don't have ANY market for used Stagea parts so need to search outside Europe.
    • You can’t see much on the other side as the lcd is there I don’t think it’s the same as the m33 beside it as the markings on top is not the same was hoping someone had a good quality photo or if they just happened to have the unit in hand, quickly take the cover off and take a photo to clearly show the marking on top to identify the diode   the unit is currently with an electronics repair shop so I can’t take another photo at the moment hopefully they are smart enough to know if it’s a zener diode or not
    • I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.
    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
