Hey guys,

i got a weird problem with the boost on my BNR32 i cant really wrap my head around. The car came with a faulty solenoid so i just connected the two lines directly and the pressure rose to about 350/400mmhg mind you without restrictor. However if i just completely pull off the hose that connects IM and wastegates boost rises to about +7mark and then drops off in the high rpms to i guess +5/+6 on the gauge.

What could be the problem? It should make, even with the lines connected, +7/1bar shouldnt it?! Maybe BOVs leaking/ circling? Had the bumper removed before and found no obvious leaks. Any help would be appreciated..

Cheers Max

Connecting the two lines should be the same as just letting the wastegate line be open to atmosphere as long as the lines are hooked up like OEM. If that isn't the case then something is wrong, you may have an unexpected restriction on the lines that go back to the intake hose in front of the rear compressor intake.

Yup, thats what i was thinking... so i connected the WG bleed line back to intake with a new hose, just straight over the engine bay and it didnt change a thing so no restriction... 

 

I would inspect the turbos for shaft play/damage, it's possible something is broken there.

Wouldnt i notice this in oil consumption? There is in fact a bit of oil in the intake but afaik thats pretty normal... per season/ ~2000km i need to fill up like 250ml of oil.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
