Not sludgy at all motor is fine the turbo line is blocked

so you're saying it is blocked? seen a few cars with turbo oil starvation problems, usually blocked lines/filters if it has them, it's getting oil in the exhaust after it seizes you mean?

Yeah I mean was running fine then the rear turbos exhaust wheel blew cos of shaft play it was hitting the inside of the turbo housing so I changed the turbo now it's make only 7 psi instea of 14 when I start it up only the front turbo spins freely at idle the rear one is hard to turn

the oil starvation will flog the turbo so the wheel will come into contact with the housing, if you disconnect the oil feed off the rear turbo and start it up you'll prob see no oil come out or the odd drop, you'll have to pull it apart and check and clean everything

If oil feedline blocks then it will seize while drain blocks will cause turbo to leak oil from all seals. It looks like the feed is blocked. Check the line and drill out the oil restrictor in its fittings.

wont be oil drain, its 4x the size of the feed.

feed will be blocked, meaning there is gunk elsewhere in the system most of the time... cause if there wasn't - how can it be blocked?

No I've got it all worked out if the turbo was seizing it wouldn't make boost its only making 0.6 bar so I'd say it's leaking somewhere one of the pipes meant to be 1 bar And now it's smoking like a bitch on boost I compression tested it and my results where this 50 55 75 100 100 125

Im sorry Ash, I've tried to stay out of this thread.

Your compression is wwwwwaaaaaayyyyyy f**ked.

Your motor has most likely sucked 1 of the 3 turbo's you have gone through.

You say you have it all figured out? I dont think you do. You need to go and buy another motor from the wreckers, this time you need to

  • Make sure you have a good fuel pump
  • Make sure you have working turbo's
  • Make sure you compression test the motor prior to dropping it in
  • Go and get a tune (for the love of god)
  • Don't come on here and ask for advice then turn around and say NO I have it all worked out. (very frustrating when you offer advice and it gets thrown in your face!)

So you had the same problem back in July? Or is this a new compression problem?

If it's a NEW compression problem i would suggest

1. Getting a better tune

2. Learning how to drive

3. Selling the car all together

after reading some of your posts I have to ask, how exactly did you go about doing the comp test ?

you say the rear turbo is the one that keeps blowing but the front 3 cylinders have the lower comp

      Requirements for Xenon Headlights? (Possible Solution)

      By rahilp · Posted

      Hi There I went through a rabbit hole of reading about Xenon headlights and the ADR regulations for having them installed. As people have been defected by running factory xenon I was researching in ways to make them compliant. Everyone always say needs to be self leveling and have washer installed, which I don't necessarily agree with. For this argument I'm using R34 as reference as I'm more aware on the construction of the headlight compared to the R33 Xenon, which may still be the exact same case.   For the self leveling clause taken from ADR 13 - Installation of Lighting and Light Signalling Devices on other than L-Group Vehicles As you can see the bold text "these manually adjustable devices from driver seats" are fine to use. As Series 1 Xenon model headlights do have a 4 level adjuster on the right near the ignition (however not series 2) then these model are consider compliant in that argument.   For the Self Cleaning aspect of this argument clause taken from ADR 13 - Installation of Lighting and Light Signalling Devices on other than L-Group Vehicles Now i can understand the argument that Xenon will need a washer as they are over 2000 lumens, but I clicked on the 12 at the end of that sentence and it takes me to the end notes which states R34 for headlight lenses are plastic, not sure if PL is mark as I don't currently have my skyline to confirm that marking is there. But could you not technically get a lenses with the PL marking on it and then get away with the argument that you need a washer. I went through a quick read of the adr and might have missed something else that may cause them to be non-complaint.    But wouldn't these technically be complaint headlights   Would love to hear other people input on this and shed some light   Edit In regard to the the washer portion I might be mistaken ADR 45 (which I believe is Regulation NO.45) states 12 cd (candela) I dont understand that portion in regarding to calculating the candela if anyone can shed some light. Otherwise I guess throw in a washer for the headlight and you definitely comply.

      I'd say closer to OG GTX3582R, just smaller trim - so 59mm inducer/82mm exducer as opposed to 62/82 for the first gen GTX3582R. Yeah EFRs were boss, the EFR8474 is still an absolute beast and it perplexes me that people still go to things like Turbosmart/Garrett etc when the results people are getting with those are pretty unremarkable compared to what you could get with a turbo available well before those options came out.  DriftSquid (I think) "upgraded" from an EFR9174 to a Turbosmart turbo and promised a comparison video - and kinda shuffled awkwardly and did a bit of diversion from the fact that they didn't get any improvement going to the currently massively hyped brand of turbo from a turbo that was a bit of a frankenstein that had been well superceded in it's own range before the Turbosmart unit he put on there even came out. I suspect the EFR would outperform most Xonas for what a lot of less-insane RB owners would go for, in the 400-600kw range but the Xonas are looking hard to beat up to maybe in the mid 700kw range at this stage- basically where EFRs don't really reach, and before the Precision turbos take over.  What the Xonas do well in the "EFR range" is be easier to package etc, and work very well if a divided housing doesn't suit your application.
