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?

    • 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.
