Blown turbos help

Hey guys,

 

My precious rb26 blew its stock turbos on my way home earlier this summer. R33 gt-r 95mod.

I just did a compression test now (cold engine), and got these readings:

 

Cylinder 1: 155 psi

Cylinder 2: 155 psi

Cylinder 3: 160 psi

Cylinder 4: 145 psi

Cylinder 5: 140 psi

Cylinder 6: 135 psi

 

Now keep in mind the engine is cold.

I’d like to hear your opinion on these readings?

Sorry but it doesn't look good. When the exhaust wheel lets got at 150,000rpm, ceramic pieces have enough velocity to travel against the exhaust gas, through the open exhaust valve, and scratch the shit out of the cylinder bores. Happened to me when I first got my car, and I guess it has just happened to you.

A borescope could be used through the spark plug hole to inspect the bore for scratches.

If that has occurred, you need engine out bottom end rebuild, with bored out cylinders and oversize pistons. Expensive, but not compared to GTR prices these days....

Blown turbo doesn't automatically mean his turbine wheel grenaded. Now with that said, the difference you have in compression between cylinders isn't great. Report back on a warm engine.

Agreed, but the concern is all 3 rear cylinders are well down which matches an issue with the rear turbo affecting cylinders 4-6

Guys,

 

As i’m quite new to this, please excuse me if my questions are «stupid».

 

I thought about doing a compression test with a warm motor. But seeing as there might be a chance i have ceramic dust in my engine, wouldn’t it be damaging (or cause more damage) running the engine till it’s warm?

don't worry about it mate. if that is the issue you won't make it worse warming it up.

back to an earlier question what did you mean when you said the turbos were "blown". potentially an overboost issue could end up with ring land problems on the rear 3 cylinders too, but either way it is the same solution (pull engine and tear it down)

Alright, thanks.

What happened is i did a small pull, probably overboosted and the rear (i assume) turbo said farewell. It cut boost during the pull, and it started coming blue smoke from the exhaust. 

 

Seeing as i intend on keeping her for a while, an engine rebuild wouldn’t be so bad i guess :)

Hello again,

 

Sorry about the late update, i’ve been busy due to work.

I did another compression test today with the engine warmed up, and i got these results:

 

Cylinder 1: 168psi

Cylinder 2: 171 psi

Cylinder 3: 170psi

Cylinder 4: 165psi

Cylinder 5: 155psi

Cylinder 6: 158psi

 

What are your thoughts?

Alright, thanks. Is it necessary to do a leakdown test as well?

It's a while you're there deal, you might as well to give you a little better insight as to the state of your engine. But nonetheless the numbers look good.

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
