Yeah I think the best bet is to get it high flowed (steel wheels) and then you wont have to worry. Run stock boost no issue

Then when you want more power just get the supporting mods and wind the boost up. Cheaper than constantly buying replacement stock turbos

I know its not really solving the original problem. But still a good idea

Hi Stao.....read my post. There are ways it could happen. Anything that causes that signal to be lower (where it is sourced from) than the turbo's outlet pressure will permit it to work too hard.

Maybe....but what happens when you have that is that the turbo spins up and gets hot, then the bearings gall and sieze and the sudden shock would be what shakes the turbine loose. But I wouldn't expect the shaft to spin nicely afterwards, and it sounds like yours still have been.

The rear wheel doesn't spin after they blow up, all 3 turbos the rear wheel has been f**ked and the front wheel still spins!! One of the turbos found some of the rear wheel in my exhaust (cat)

Okay thanks for that input guys, if a steel wheel turbo is what's going to fix this problem looks like that's what I'm gonna do, I'm also going to check the oil flow but other then that it's got me stumped. So if anyone could recommend someone who does decent turbo rebuilds that would be greatly appreciated as is all of your input! Thanks

Check out the latest results from our current 21U std R33 high flowed turbocharger on the last few pages. They are capable of doing factory alike response of 260rwkws+ on P98 and have done 320rwkws with E85. Cost only $850 now with oil line, and that has been welly track proven.

yeah just go with hypergear, the new 21U profile is pretty damn good. someone made over 320 kw on e85 with it which is amazing for the stock r33 turbo housings. other than that it performs well as a stock replacement with a bit more oomph. responsiveness is about the same as a stockker because the stockers are just old now anyway.

edit: forgot to mention its cheaper than the competition too

The wheels live on a common shaft. If the comp wheel will spin, then the shaft is free to turn, and if the turbine was still there (which it's not because it's dead) it would then still spin too.

Thanks for all your help everyone, it was a block in the oil line! It's been fixed and I put a steel wheel turbo on the car aswell

Good work finding it. For our benefit how did you find it? by checking flow out of turbo drain first, or just whipping off oil feed line?

I unbolted the oil line from the turbo put a bucket underneath and started the car to check flow and there was little to none (it would have been messy if there was) I got a braided line and done the same thing and I got a few hundred ml in seconds. So not sure how or why but the line was blocked or something.. New turbo has been on for a solid 24 hours, feels and sounds a lot better already. Very relieved so far!

The line is blocked by the banjo bolt into the block usually. They have a .9mm restrictor built in don't they?

The VQ does anyway, it actually runs 3 restrictors due to high oil pressure.

its an oil line that is 15-20 yrs old, and with the restrictors they have in them they will undoubtedly gather deposits and block over such a period of time.

you are sorted for boost and tune now :)

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
