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.

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

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
