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?

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
