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..

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
