hey

EDIT: please refer to the 5th post

well my r32 gtr was running fine but the boost was a little high.

so i checked for a leak from a wastegate actuator

i found a pipe that looked a litte old so i took it off and replaced it.

i also cleaned the AFM's with electric contact cleaner while they were off. i also reset computer.

now when i hit boost it goes to 5 psi then it make a loud noise, sounds like lots of air coming out from somewhere. then the boost quickly drops to 3 psi as it makes the nooise.

i have checked all pipes and cant see a leak, i also replaced a clamp to make sure.

now all i did was replace a little pipe from the rear wastegate actuator.

do i have to suck out any air that are in these lines or anything???

i cant see why it would be doing this.. also its seems to backfire a bit more

does it run ok still and only gets the 3psi or does it kind of shudder at 3 psi and not want to go past boost??? doesnt sound like a turbo more like a leak or some think that only cums of when its under presure,so u wont be able to see it when its not on boost. when a turbo goes theres alot of smoke and no boost, well thats what i got. hope this helps a lil bit, at least it shouldnt be the turbo it self.

Pfft alot of smoke....

Maybe normally, but I can tell you the turbos on my GTR were both fecked and there was no smoke.

In saying that, if you can hear the noise of air, its gotta be a leak somewhere. When mine were blown, it was just like they weren't there, no noise, nothin' Compressor wheel just wasn't there on one... half there on the other.

ok.

some more bad news!

i found the problem of the above... a pipe had come off.. i put it back on and thought it would go fine..

i went for a test drive.. i took off in 1st. i only reved to about 1500rpm to 2000rpm, because the motor was still a little cold..

put in 2nd.. then 3rd.. didnt rev over 2000rpm....

then while in 3rd the revs started to drop.. .. i put the clutch in and tried to rev it.. (the clutch was heavier then normal) the car then cut out.. i pulled over and tried to start but the engine didnt kick over..

all the belts moved when trying to start but it didnt turn over...

in all this i probably hit a MAX of 1 or 2 psi.

PLEASE HELP

hahaha i ended up wif white smoke every where. oh well every ones cars are different.

Yeah, probably depends on def of blow. exhaust wheel coming off probably doesn't make smoke.

So twas leaky pipe hey... car dying slowly... did it feel like u ran out of fuel. If you haven't run out or fuel, what about fuel not being supplied for some reason?

i experienced the same as you; with the engine revs dropping and then the car cuting out. Make sure there is no air leaking around the AFM's and the pipes leading to them from the turbos. Its is crucial that you seal any leakage of air.

All the best.

When you turn on the ignition do you get that whine from the fuel pump? it is definately getting fuel?

If so when you crank it does it try to start and splutter or does the starter motor just kick over and thats it?

yes i hear the whining noise... but i thought its the attessa system pumping the fluid?... also this noise only goes for about 1 second when usually it goes for about 4 seconds

when i crank it, it doesnt try to start or anything, its just the starter motor that kicks over

im assuming you engine starts but it just splutters and cuts out tho? mine doesnt even try to start

After three failed attempts to start the engine the battery shit itself. After charging the battery and sealing the air leaks I had it started and ran much smoother. Also, did your car run a little rough b4 this problem. Did it pull back at times as if it didn't want to go?

ok here is the long story of what happened..

i herd a ticking noise when coming on boost.. it then started to sound a little like a truck... i was 99% sure that i have just done a turbo gasket or something..

so i went to change it.. i was unable to take off the zaust manifold with my tools.. so put it all back togethor.. then for some reason it was running unlimited boost... it went to 16psi when it should be 14ish... so i didnt boost it after that..

i when to check for pipes from wastegate actuator for leaks.. i saw that a pipe was old and cracked.. i replaced it with a new one... put all back togethor...

went for drive and an intercooler pipe came off.... (i drove for about 15 mins with a loose pipe as i didnt know it was loose.. it was just dropping at 5 psi (as i said right at the start of this thread) it didnt show any weird signs apart from the loss of boost

i replaced a hose clamp with a new one, put the pipe back on.. and then after that is when it died on me

hope this info helps

Sounds to me like youve got a major vacuum leak somewhere... did you notice what the vacuum was before it died? Its hard to explain, but when starting the car does it sound like it wants to start? Or does it sound like its struggling on a cylinder (e.g crank-crank-crank-choof-crank-crank -- really bad way to explain it, but the cylinder that goes choof sounds extremely sick compared to the rest). If so I'd go and get a compression and leak down test as it sounds like there might be some internal damage.

When I blew one of my turbos the car just wouldnt boost and when you tried to bring it onto boost, just pissed out smoke from the exhaust.

i would say you have done some pretty major damage mate. you had inadvertantly left off the pipe going to the wastegate actuator(s) this meant the car was running unlimited boost (probably much more than 16psi btw). this is why the intercooler hose blew off, i would guess that whilst running unlimited boost you have damaged the motor. get it to a mechanic mate and find out. if it's not engine damage you will feel much better, if it is at least you will know for sure.

the thing is i didnt leave a wastegate pipe off... and i have no idea why it was running unlimited boost... i hit 16psi about 2-3 times and after that i didnt put my foot down after that until it was fixed

the pipe blew off due to a dodgy clamp, so i bought a new one.. after i clamp it on is when i stuffed up.. and i only hit less then 2 psi for it to come off..

BUT SOME GOOD NEWS!

the car turned over.. it tried to start just before.

i had a look around the fuel filter in the engine bay and i can see a small metal pipe going nowhere... it looks like a rubber pipe has falln off it.

im going to have another look and see whats going on

Do you have stock ECU? What do these ECU's boost cut at? I have run unlimited boost before (old car, just to see), its not THAT hard to control with your right foot. I don't think you would damage your engine before you ripped your turbo exhaust wheel off, especially stock turbos.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
