Hey everyone,

So my 32 GTR has experienced some turbo issues and I have a set of standard 32 GTR turbos (2nd hand in good condition) and a turbo gasket kit ready to go ... only problem is ... I need someone to do the swap for me! Anybody here know what they're doing and able to do it ASAP (I need my car for work!). Will pay cash...

Let me know if you're interested - car is located in Patterson Lakes but I can get it towed (within a reasonable distance)

Cheers

I would kindly offer but I have a few other cars to finish first. Hopefully someone else can help you.

Personally, if I was removing the ceramic turbos, I would replace them with brand new -9 Garretts, not old shagged oem turbos. It's hard enough to do the job once without finding out the replacement ones are stuffed and doing it all again. When the OEM ones let go they often take the engine with it, it's just not worth the risk imo.

Take it to OTR in Clayton/Springvale

Can't guarantee a fast fix but they are reasonably cheap.

Also, how do you know it's a problem with the turbos themselves?

      If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.

      This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).

      I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
