I have a rb25det with basic mods, bigger turbo, 7psi external gate. For some reason when it boosts, the intercooler pipe pops off which is connected to the turbo. I got t clamps and it still does it? Is my intercooler blocked, i cant think why this would be happening. thanks guys

Not sure what boost?

lol

so you could be running a bazillion psi and thats your problem?

lol

get some T clamps, they are the way to go, if you cbf taking the turbo off and running a bead of weld around it, then make sure you've got a nice fitment, strong T clamp, and use a proper silicon hose, not some cheap ebay 5 dollary!

well if you drive along and you hit boost and the car pulls harder then your intercooler isnt blocked. in saying that its not "blocked" it might be partially blocked.
but i would have to agree with some of these other guys, cleary your running Fark loads of boost! if its still popping off a t clamp. install boost controller and report back :)

I had the waste gate hooked up wrong, wastegate is now opening but doesn't build much boost and runs like crap. Its a standard rb25det with a chinese t3/t4 type turbo. It is not tuned for the turbo, would this be why. Do you think just putting a standard 25det turbo would be a good idea. thanks guys

Yes.

Not being tuned is the blatantly obvious reason why it runs like crap.

Coupled with crap turbo. And potential damage caused by your mad over boost sessions.

Putting stock turbo back on would make your life very easy.

where do people find these cars... I swear once a week there's a thread from someone buying a car that has a T3/T4 Ling long ebay special, stainless highmount, boost leaking FFP and a standard ECU.... and they're asking us why it runs like shite if at all

For every person we hear from there are probably 20 we don't know about. Eventually they replace all the decent stock parts with fail parts, then sell the car after they realise it's farked.

Those T bolt clamps are crap.

Two norma clamps may hold it to 15psi or so, more than that it needs a lip.

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
