Had an auto 34 neo DET come in today with a suspected blown turbo. Wont make boost and a very loud howl from the turbo.

After pulling the intake off the turbo i found this d3156d94.jpg

I first thought WTF. This thing was jammed in the turbo really tight. After some investigation i found its actually from the pod filter 7be2058e.jpg

This car had a fair few issue's, had to fit splitfires to fix an ignition breakdown and error code, then the fuel pump was lazy so upgraded to a walbro and beefed up the wiring.

End result was 185kw 13psi with stock ecu

note to self...dont buy a cheap POD?

or one that has parts smaller than the intake pipe. lol

It broke the element in the AFM too.

Was this with the factory Ecu untouched? No r&r?

Yes stock ecu. On 13 psi it lost a bit down low so on 12 psi is perfect.

pretty much on the same note - I have refused to tune many cars running a "drift" filter.

there is 500rpm lag difference and under full load, I saw some massive differences in AFR. This was with a powerfc though.

Anyway, this guy got off lucky!

What cars do you tune all the things parts you say I won't tune a car with that by saying that you remove 99% of skyline drivers I'm interested what cars do you tune?

My List:

Drift air filters

Malapsi FPRs

SARD FPRs

Ebay Turbos

Turbos that cannot be identified

Cars that fail compression and leak down tests

Happy now?

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
