There is no water seal in the turbo, the water runs around the core, so there's no way a turbo could leak water internally.

crack/fracture in the core?

definitely NOT saying this is the problem, but merely a possibility.

I'd be checking the PCV valve and associated breathers are functioning as intended. It looks like your getting excessive pressure in the crank case. If the PCV valve isn't closing under boost you'll get huge amounts of oil in the intake etc, just like your pic

UPDATE:

Compression test showed:

130,130,130,130,75,75

Diagnosis is broken head gasket between cylinders 5&6 causing a leak between cylinders. I bought a new motor with 83,000 kms straight from Japan. Taking delivery on Monday. I didn't want to risk opening up the motor to find broken ring landings as well; clearly this motor has had a hard life and its cheap enough to throw away.

ALSO:

I sent one of my turbo's off to Hypergear for the $880 High Flow treatment (much cheaper than at precision turbo's).

NEXT QUESTION:

At hypergear they are trying to sell me braided oil lines for the turbo for $88. Is this even necessary? I'm a bit skeptical.

I'm still driving the car just low boost and it drives okay, only problem is the BoV is messy (spits water+oil) and it blows some smoke. New engine + turbo should be in by 10-14 days roughly.

Let me know what you think about the braided oil lines.

Turns out the turbo's were fine all the time but i still want the hiflow

The new highflow uses a different core to your old turbo, so to make the easiest fitment happen, just buy the flexibles and be happy. Better than trying to fit it up the old hardlines, seeing as they won't quite line up (probably) and you'll end up cursing and swearing and bending stuff and all that.

Okay thanks for that I will buy the new feed line. I remember trying to fit the original lines to the new turbo when swapping with a stocker; it was hell. I kept dropping the f**king washer off of the banjo bolts from the water feed haha I'm sure I'm not the only one who experienced that.

Next Question (thanks for being so helpful):

I have a stock turbo for sale, with a receipt from skyline spares. How much do they normally go for?

Also, will someone buy my old block? It ONLY suits a rebuild. But someone might want it to build instead of taking their car off the road for weeks to build theirs.

I'd postpone the highflow until you're completely confident you've addressed the current issue. Remember even if the compression test comes back ok, you still have a problem to fix.

Also, dont forget you may need injectors/AFM/programmable ECU and tune = $$$$

I forgot to mention I already have FMIC, 3 inch turbo back exhaust, Splitfire coilpacks, Excedy HD clutch

I will need an ecu + injectors + tune + possibly fuel pump & FPR to make more power. I had the plugs gapped to 0.8 when they were out for the comp test this morning and I'll get my workshop to check how much meat is left on the clutch when they swap it to the new motor.

Will I be able to run low boost with the hi-flow turbo on the stock ecu + injectors + FP + FPR? people have said no but not even 8 psi until I save up for a tune?

Edited by Blackkers

Search up toshi his in Sydney aswell and can chip the skyline ecu and road or dyno tune for half the price of a nistune

You will need a new solid intake as the std rubber ones suck shut with more boost and a new fuel pump and z32afm

You might get away with the std injectors best to ask toshi as his tuned plenty of skylines and is good at what he does

You will need a braided oil line as the factory hardline apparently has a restrictor in it so it won't flow enough oil for the Hypergear turbo. You can make your own braided line for pretty cheap if you want to isn't very hard

okay good info thanks guys. Where can I get a solid intake pipe for airbox --> turbo inlet?

The smallest actuator available is 15psi. Can I run that on the stock ecu? I have a feeling people will say something along the lines of 'no you can't you'll blow the motor'

I'm going to call the dude tomorrow to talk about a few more things but I'm interested to hear other people's experiences.

I'm also going to contact toshi I've heard great things about him

Thanks again for the input

Edited by Blackkers

Various people will make you a metal turbo intake pipe. ScottyNM35 as an example. Or pretty much any workshop that does mod work like custom intercooler piping etc.

And no. a 15 psi actuator is going to be bad mojo. You need a stock RB25 actuator to keep it safe.

I'm on the north shore of Sydney. Wet test showed little improvement. I'll get the timing belt and water pump swapped over before the new motor goes in.

Anyone know a good timing kit and water pump to get?

    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
