Hey guys new to the forum and to forced induction cars.

Heres the problem as of yesterday i am back to driving na as turbo not spooling. No noise is coming from turbo at all.

Before you say take it to a mechanic, No

I work 6am-6pm 7days a week. Lol plus i would like to learn

Anyways could it be a vaccum hose, leak in intercooler or turbo inlet hose ?

Any ideas ? What do i look for?

I have no ideas where the vaccum hoses go from/to

Where are the 2 pipes supposed to go that come from the boost solenoid

Thanks for listening to my long winded speel.

Some help would be great

A popped vacuum hose won't loose all boost

A popped cooler pipe will.

A popped cooler pipe it won't drive at all.... Sounds like it's still running and driving, just nothing from the turbo?

Is it a stock turbo? What boost?

My money is on an exited turbine wheel too.

They'll run without boost pipework but the mixtures are way wrong, will be very rich.

AFM is sending flow info to the ecu which is way out of whack with what the engine's actually eating.

The more boot you give it the worse it becomes.

Time for a call to Stao.

R32 GTR runs without the IC pipe like an NA (Maf less). Quite fine

R34 GTT runs like an NA (slightly worse) with the Turbo rooted. No boosting..

R32 GTSt runs like shit with IC pipe popped off.

likely a high flow is your best option

When my 32R popped an intercooler hose, the car ran but ran really shit. Still sort of driveable.

When my GTS-t dropped a turbine wheel (turbo exhaust wheel), the engine ran fine but no boost, so was slow and running super rich.

Indeed.

And as above, popped cooler hose = car wont drive.

So if it's driving, logical to deduce that turbo has failed

Not true at all. Every car is different and depends on each situation, when they pop the silicone may force everything back into close to the position it should be, other times or won't. My car still drove fine on light load with popped cooler pipe. Enough to get me the few km home no worries.

Pulled the circlip off this morning and the flap opens and closes no issues.

With the circlip back on I am able to move the full arm and flap with pliers -

 

took intake pipe off and turbo spins freely by hand -

Is that with the heatshield on or off? I've seen the stock heatshield lay up against the actuator rod and stop it moving fore-aft.

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
