gtr problems *sigh*

g'day g'day peeps

just took the gtr for a blat tonight and just after wasting this kinda hot chick in an xr8, i heard a funny sort of "pfwoosh" noise when i grabbed third and punched the clutch out/acc in. this resulted in like 2psi of boost pressure and no urge whatsoever (...and the falcodore was still munched muahahaa).

now, instantly i've thought "hmm must've popped an intercooler hose" but i couldn't really see anything abnormal after a quick inspection. i'll have to confirm this when its not dark, but what other causes could it be? what does throwing a ceramic turbine wheel sound like? fortunately i've never had to experience that... any other ideas?

also, am i likely to get detonation/leaning-out if i run the sucker like this till i can get it sorted-out (if i can't do it in my driveway).

cheers

somehow i managed to snap the rear ceramic turbine wheel on the day of 2004 QLD Drag Combat (i remember it was 45 degree).

it drove like a non turbo vehicle. well...actually worse than any NA car. there was no power at all....if you are in the same stiuation....i guess it's your turbo(s).

If it idles like crap and blows black smoke id say its a hose. If it idles ok then id say youve popped the turbo (does it blow any smoke out the rear when you should be coming onto boost?).

When mine let go it didnt make any bad noises, just when I came on throttle again there was no power and white smoke belching out the back (oil burning).

"pfwoosh" noise

I think a blown hose too....I had the same thing happen under WOT, the noise actually made me jump as it was quite loud and sounded like some sort of cool weapon :P

It brought my car to an abrupt stop as it stalled...it was a confusing few seconds as I didn't know what the hell was going on...loud noises, heavy steering etc etc.

Check to see if it's actually a tear in the side of a hose maybe....

cheers for the responses fellas

the update, after closer inspection and a bit of driving is that its probably not the turbines. it still makes boost (up to about 4-5psi). it takes an age to get to that sort of boost pressure (above 5k) and its making a hissing sort of sound (like air escaping from somewhere) when i'm moving through the revrange. the sound its putting out is quite loud and increases as revs increase.

now, it could very well be a bit of silicone hose but i went over it last night and, while i had the sucker on axle stands and attacked every nook and cranny with prying eyes and leadlights, could be wrong. but generally, all the hoses and clamps seem to be just fine.

i've also discovered that the previous owner plumbed in some hks piping with a pair of the original/series1 sequential bovs, AS WELL as the factory suckers down low in the guard plumbed back behind the afms. are 4x bov's commonplace from these crazy japanese people!!!?? seems illogical to me!

the symptoms. car seems to drive just as smoothly. idle hangs around the 1k mark like it usually does and it still possesses a "bit" of poke.

tracking down the problem is gonna be a pain. it doesn't blow a heap of smoke as far as i can tell (no more than usual cos the jap rechip is obviously very very rich anyway). no odd white smoke from the turbos as far as i can tell either. is burnt oil a surefire sign of a stuffed turbine wheel?

and how did skylinegeoff burn his line!!???!? by god i surely don't want that to happen! i've owned the thing for like 3 weeks!!!! :P

cheers again.

4 BOV's!?!?!? WTF?

I've heard of 4 before, but it was damn stupid and i didn't really believe it.

But yea, i guess they must be uhh, really, cautious about, uhh, backblow etc ??

If you have checked everything else, then (this might sound stupid, but worth a try), check the BOV's themselves, perhaps one of them "carked it", and somehow got "stuck open", or is just really "loose". Not entirely sure if that's possible, but worth checking i guess

I have had a similar problem, had 4 BOVs hooked up on one of our cars.. 2 stock, 2 HKS crappers.

The car just didn't have the pull, and there was a leaking sound. We first blocked up the 2 stock ones, nope didn't fix it.

Then we blocked up the 2 HKS BOV's.. and it was like a new car. Went from doing high 13's to doing high 11's :cheers:

Could quite possibly be the HKS ones..

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
