I have an R32 GTST and my turbo is kicking the proverbial bucket.

It used to just make this shreiking noise when it reached high boost (factory settings mind you). But now I can here it flapping against the casing all the time... I am worried that it is going to shatter and run through my block.

Does anyone know how I can avoid this i.e is there a way to remove the turbo until I can replace it and still drive the car in the mean time?

OR

Does anyone have a factory turbo lying around that they don't need? i feel I am in quite a hole with this one :Paranoid:

Any solutions would be great.

Thanks,

BlkR32

Im no expert but why cant you disconnect the air flow meter and put it onto the plenum chamber pipe and then disconnect the wastegate and hold it open somehow (tie wire or cable tie if it dont melt) and disconnect your intercooler pipes so if the turbo does blow shit everywhere just direct it to the bottom of the engine bay or something...

Would that work ?

Probly not but worth looking into maybe :)

I lost my factory turbo (R33 though) while driving. Large pop and it went. The guts of it ended up stuck in my cat convertor(no other damage to the engine). I drove around for a week with no turbo while I was waiting for a replacement. The car will still drive but the compression is wrong for NA and it will strain your engine so dont do that for very long plus the power output is similar to that of a lawnmower!! You can 'turn' off your turbo by disconnecting your vaccume line. If your not sure a mechanic can do this in about 2 minutes. My suggestion is that you do not drive it too far without it. If you need a replacement turbo cheap let me know as I have a friend (in Melbourne) that sells used parts cheap for imports. If your budget is tight try and get a R33 turbo at around $400 second hand. You might find a R32 turbo for slightly less but you may as well get a more efficient turbo for an extra $100.

      Well - they have arrived.  And they are easy on the eye to put it mildly... These only have three bolts - but for a start there is a key that fits with vacuum like precision..  And as you can see by my ruler, the interface is large..   I listened to a podcast on HP Academy about Dan (KiwiCNC) and I'm more than comfortable he knows what he is doing. R35 Bearing assembly should arrive later today so can mock that up for a look. Can't wait to get these on and get some brake pressure logging too. IMG_3860.MP4

      I would be very confident that they are the same parts (the 2 different SKUs). It seems very clear that you can drop the cam in the 2-way opening, or in the other opening. If you arrange it in the other opening in the same way that you see any other 1-way diff, ie, with the flat of the cam up against the 1° side of the opening, then it would work as a 1-way. It can only spread the ramps when driving forwards - cannot spread the ramps on overrun. It would then appear obvious that if you put the cam into the opening "backwards", that you would get the angled flats of the cam working onto the "points" of the 1° side of the opening, which would give you ramp spread in both loading directions. I do wonder if the forward direction of the 1.5-way config is equivalent to the forward direction of the 2-way, seeing as the cams are flipped and the angled surfaces on those would need to be the same on each side - AND - clearly when installed in either the 2-way or 1-1ay configuration they are not intended to work exactly the same (the ramp angles on the 2-way are 10° different between forward and backward, and the ramp doesn't exist in the 1-way config). 'twere me, I think I would rather actually have a set of rings that offered the 2-way with two different sets of ramp angles, say the 55/45 of the existing design and maybe a 45/37.5 combo for a less aggressive effect), AND another set of rings with a dedicated 1.5-way opening and a dedicated 1-way opening. The 1.5-way opening would actually have the steeper angle on the overdrive side that causes it to be less pushy than the forward drive angle, like you see in many other diffs. But really - if this Nismo thing is thought out properly and all those surfaces work on each other the way that they need to, who am I to argue?
