Guys I need to borrow someones TPS, as I suspect mine is dead/faulty.

an electricion has diagnosed that my car will not start because the TPS is not sending info, What I need is to borrow someones and plug it in to see if it will start? would only be for 30 mins to hour or so?

Also Has anyone on here actually changed thier turbos them self? Mine are nearly out but I would mind asking some Q's... Like better to take them out the top or the bottom? things like that....

Hey Stirlo, Let me know when and where for the TPS and I'll be there. I can spare an hour or so but cant spare the day. Has to be early morning if possible.

Sorry cant help with the Turbs mate perhaps a conversation with Ed out at Integra.

Hi Stirlo, I haven't done it myself but when they fitted my turbos they put them in from the top so I assume they must of pulled them out the same way...sorry to hear about your engine, I had a similar problem with mine :) .... must really suck right now with the gtr off the road

Stirlo the manual says that the best position is on top. Er, I mean from the top. Not telling you how to suck eggs but if you have any inclination to fit dump pipes

do so now.

Good luck hope it goes well.

Hey GTR32, has nissmo dumps fitted already... so no eggs to suck...

My car has had a good chrissy.. So far its had,

- new paint

- 2 new turbos.

- new f-bar

- 1 x set of new rims.

what a spoilt bitch... but I love her...

Hi Stirlo I didn't know Nismo made dumps. I knew they made engine pipes but there you go...are they single or split wastegate?

If you don't mind me asking what type of turbos did you fit?

      Hard to say, just pop the rocker covers off and have a look if you think it's cammed. You probably need to replace the valve cover gasket/half moons anyways.

      From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.
