did you put any water on electrical system?? like fuse or connectors...

 

fgive ew hours to dry out...

 

sounds lilke short circuit problem

i didn't cover anything when i sprayed the water. so this might be the problem..

also when i sprayed stuff on, the car was a little hot.. when i spray water on i can see smokes come out from the bottom, where the turbo sits.. so i think its something to do with the turbo.

Man thats just not smart.... no offence....

As mentioned above, check all your intercooler piping. How is it idleing? Is it popping when on idle?

i dont think spraying water around your exhaust when its hot would damage it to the extent of not being able to make boost (at the most it would only crack the exhaust manifold), my money is on an electrical problem because it has water in it. try unplugging a few things that may have gotten wet and spray them with rp7 to get the water out, but i would think that even with electrical problems it should still make some boost so as boosted_rb26 said check all your plumbing connections, the degreaser may have helped a hose slip off! perhaps!

thankxx heaps everi1..

it was the weirdest thing.. the car revs fine, it idles fine. it just won't come on boost...

anyway, i leave the car running for 10mins, 3 hours later took it for a drive and everything's back to normal..

so i still got no idea what was going on in the first place.. could it b because of too much water in the intercooler, because i sprayed i fair bit in there.....oh well, a lesson for every1, don't panic like me, i was getting instructions from this forum on how to remove the turbo... damn, could of gone wit a hi-flow

why the **** would you spray water in your intercooler?

because there's flies and sh.t in it, so i couldn't help it..............

anyway, just when i thought the car's back to normal again. the nex day took it out, it was fine for about 10mins. then it happen again, can't even go pass 2500rpm... surely some1 on here must of seen me on saturday ' a red r33 on tomkin highway moving slower than a donkey'....

so i went and saw a mechanic and found out the real problem.. water got in the engine.."where its got 2500 TWIN CAM NISSAN", somehow water got in there..

its all good now..hopefully... thanks everi1

Yeah I had a similar problem after my car got detailed and they OVER detailed my engine bay too :hellpisd: . I would get to boost and it would cough a splutter.

Water got in the AFM and the plugs. I pulled the AFM off and made sure it was dry. The plugs also had water on them - Ken from Hyperdrive told me to leave the car idling for like 10 - 15 or so minutes to dry the plugs out... it made it alot better.... but it took a few days of driving before everything was back to normal.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
