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?

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
