So i have a 2002 r34 gtt and i took off the stock turbo and bolted on a new turbo (link for turbo at bottom of post) and did a nice job of the pipes and hoses, made sure oil was running through the turbo nicely before starting, had to slightly rotate housing during instal i dont think that caused any issues such as the fins not spinning and started her up and went for a drive

I was absolutley gutted the car drives like a non turbo and iv notices a rattling sound coming through the exhaust any advice would be greatly appreciated.

turbo: http://www.redlineperformance.co.nz/products/turbos/nissan/trs4376s-turbo-480hp-nissan-skyline-rb25-bolt-on/

Have you checked the shaft spin s freely by removing the intake pipe by hand?

It is not really a high quality turbo so the is a chance it Is a dud.

Edit.. It's scary they say you can use stock oil feed line. Bush bearing turbos need more oil flow, as the ball bearing turbos have a restrictors in the stock oil feed line, so it is very likely the turbo is not getting enough oil flow.

These TRS4376S Hybrid turbochargers are able to produce 480 hp equipped with the right supporting modifications

if you dont have any it will run like shit. you need an ecu and a tune at the very least.

ok so the Oil Feed in the new turbo has a restrictor bolt inside with a tiny hole and the bolt i used that came with it has a 3.4mm hole but it hits the inside restrictor.

il get the pics up in an hour, but i hooked the charcoal cannister to the plenum which goes onto the boost pressure sensor and theres a T at the cannister end that goes to the motor, maby powersteering?, as for the turbo outlet and the wastegate T's into a boost pressure solenoid and another hose comes from the solenoids top that goes nowhere atm i think its a bleed hose? maby it was hooked into the original frontmount pipe?

you wont get f**k all. stock exhaust? stock dump? stock ecu?

if it does come on the ecu will shit itself and not know what the f**k is going on.

pop your stock one back on, buy the mods first, install them all trailer car to tuner and tune it.

then itll work.

oh for real?, i was certain boost was atleast supposed to come on

It should work but not ideally. Should still boost.

I put on a garret 3071 and drove it for two weeks (gently) before i had time to tune it. Even a little boosting, but obviously taking it easy.

Unless the wastegate flap somehow came off the actuator arm i would be worried the Turbo is dead. I would also be worried it's not getting enough oil.

That's not true at all. As in previous post I should add I was still running stock exhaust and the car boosted fine with a 3071. Obviously I didn't hammer the car, but it definitely worked and definitely made boost.

Turbo went on first as I had and cess to a mates hoist at the time which made it heaps easier to do it t then.

Im off to diagnose with 2 mechanics soon il repost if its shat the turbine whats a good turbo reccomendation, anything bolt on by any chance? do you reckon the engine is taken damage from the turbo failure? i drove about 10 mins

    • Why are people so insistent on making dirty water?!
    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
