Blown Skyline Turbo...

Hey

Ive run into some trouble.. (1993 R33 GTS-T, NO engine mods)

Last night i was cruising around and all of a sudden it felt as if the engine 'grabbed', similar felling to pressing the brakes, there was no response from the accellerator so i backed off to around 60km and tried to accelerate again but nothing but a steady crawl... i realised there was no boost at all, no blow off valve noise, nothing!

I also noticed a horrid burning smell whenever i revved over 2500rpm, so i basically had to roll all the way home. I also noticed this morning that it is blowing white smoke out the back like a bitch, and still no boost.

I took it to the mechanix and left it with him, he rings me up and tells me the exhaust impeller wheel has desintegrated and parts of it have collected near the cat, so basically its rat-sh!t...

Now, i live in a area thats far removed from anything resembling an import wrecking yard (Outback NSW, near places like Orange, Dubbo, Bathurst) and need help finding a replacement turbo.

I have looked at buying a T3/T4, but would require a different wastegate, dump pipe, maifold etc so i have decided to try and locate a stock R33 turbo second hand (But in good nick) from somewhere, i just need help finding that somewhere...

Any help is greatly appreciated...

EDIT: Sorry... new

EDIT - R31Nismoid - legal reasons, no-one likes a bragger, illegal street activvities are not cool

bear in mind if you get a 2nd hand one it could do the same thing yours did within 6 months. HKS 2530 can be had for about 1200-1500 second hand. You only have to have water lines and oil lines modified slightly. You could sell your blow turbo to someone for probably 100 bucks which will cover the water lines and oil lines.

Otherwise get yours rebuilt. I wouldn't spend much more than 300 for a 2nd hand stocker due to the condition being a bit unknown

Dont pay that much!! Wait for one on the forums if you can. About $400 max would be the no.

Otherwise get a highflow for $2k..maybe ring up a turbo rebuilder..if you want just the same as stock but with a steel wheel on the exhaust you amy be able to get it a bit cheaper..

And how can you prove or say that the same thing wont happen to the 2nd hand HKS one aswell?

Just because it has a brand name does not mean that it didnt get a flogging, high km's and poor owner care which all lead to it blowing

I guess that's true about 2nd hand HKS - but atleast you don't stand the same chance of the wheel flying off. Shaft play can help give an indication

If 2nd hand HKS it would be nice to see a receipt or something - agreed if you spend that much on something 2nd hand it is a little iffy.

Well its my daily driver so i need it back on the road ASAP, i guess i may just have to go for the $650 one....

BTW, heres a photo of the culprit, all its done is cost me money since i got it... im considering looking around for a late R33 model with engine mods already done... we'll see... btw colour is Black with midnight purple pearl, beautiful in the sunlight...

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
