Hey All

Just wondering if anyone can help me, just had a new clutch installed then my machanic noticed a part was broken in my car,at the front of the engine and was leaking oil. i cant remember the name of it so im hoping someone here can help me as now my car is driving like shit and losing power almost in every gear. ive noticed it blows black smoke too when it never did before.

He got the part second hand so im just wondering if the part is dodgy and thats why i am now losing power, or maybe its a fuel problem

Heres some Pcs of the part

The number on the part is 3Y26

Thanks

Yep that's the VCT thingo

Should hear it click on around 1500rpm and clicks back off at 4500 or something.

If its broken it will cause it to lose power for sure.

What's the power loss feel like?

Any jumping etc when coming onto boost

Have you had it tuned or anything else been changed?

nope havent had anything else done to it, machanic installed new clutch welded a hole in the exhaust then fitted a second hand vvt.

when i drive it it does jump and splutter a bit sometimes kicks back in but not really,just picked it up from the machanic today so havent drove it too much , but it is really bad when it idles it sits on 1- 1/2 grand

Explain the loss in power?

Because if it's just slower now the before then it could be the VCT but if it's more of a splutter and jumping around 3-4 grand then it could be spark plugs, coil packs or RNR (rich and retarded) which is caused by running more boost then the stock ECU is used to

the loss in power is in pretty much every gear and if i try to put my foot down in any gear it starts to jump and splutter and cut out, im going to get my machanic to change the spark plugs and maybe even the fuel filter and see how that goes , he got quoted for a new vct from nissan $380 and a 4 week wait from japan =( so i think thats my only option atm

sucks just spent 2g on a new clutch and i cant even drive it lol

Hi

Mine is doing exactly the same thing, i put a boost control on and it started happening soon after, i've now took the boost control back off but it's still doing it, i've tried all sorts to fix it, read up on here and i'm going to change the plugs to see if that works, what plugs are best? i've read on here to use NGK BCPR6ES-11, but the plugs i've got in are platinum.

Any help is appreciated,

Robbo.

yeah the bcpr6es is probably one of the most popular with rb's, if not the most popular. general consensus is usually that platinums are a complete waste of money, especially on tuned engines which will chew out plugs regardless what type they are.

hey dude your coilpacks have likely developed an issue due to being old and the increase in boost, as for the plugs it depends what sort of boost your planning to run once you fix the issue if your running less than 12 psi keep the heat range at 6 (bcpr6es) or if your going to run over 12 psi run bcpr7es.

I would put a new set of plugs in dont get the -11 on the end just get bcpr6es or 7es. if you still have trouble change the coilpacks from a mates car etc (or buy new ones)

    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
    • The stock manifold is "mostly" divided. The divider actually has a notch cut out of it where it would meet the divider on a twin scroll housing. I have no idea why. But whatever the reason, it would cause some cross talk when used with a twin scroll housing. People do put twin scroll housings onto that manifold. But I'm of the opinion that proper twin scroll internal gating is...not really possible at this scale. You'd be throwing good effort (ie $$) after bad, when you really should be doing something else. Notwithstanding that.... I am not sure what the idea that you are floating has to do with the difference in comp cover position caused by the highflow using a shorter length core than the stock Hitachi one. Can you clarify what you meant?
