Omg Did I Blow My Motor!

[ludsta]

Tonight went to runs and as i was coming towards redline in 4th gear my turbo backed off a bit. When i stopped and accelerated lightly i started to hear tappin noise from my motor, sound a bit like the noise tappits make but goes louder with the more revs you do. It also sounds like the noise is coming from the turbo, and or the side of the motor. Tonight also found out that my HKS pod FILTER was PEELING!!!!! I think the filter went into the turbo or something. Do you think that could of damaged my turbo or motor im burning!!!!

im no expert but i had same thing in a ca18 and it was big end knock ie dead engine

[ludsta]

does that mean i need a engine rebuild!!! and wats that cost

I think it might just be that you have blown the gasket between the turbo and the manifold which is not too hard and fairly cheap to fix.

yeh if it is the gasket it'll only cost you about $80 for the gasket and then labour unless u do it urself..

If its big end bearings youll be up for a fair wack, take it to a mechanic asap and get their oppinion. Dont want the bearing to go and end up with a snapped conrod if thats what it is.

12.6 would of got at least 12.5 car is a r33gtst. Just checked the noise again sounds like its coming from either the turbo or if u look at the motor the far right corner of the head. hard to tell

i'd be checking your exhurst manifold -> turbo gasket... i got my new nissan gasket for 36.20 today and it shouldnt take more than a couple of hours to change

[ludsta]

ok will check toinght and let u all know wats wrong

[MerlinTheHapyPig]

that sounds like big end bearing to me

heard it happen to ca's, hopefully it will be a gasket, but i doubt it...

Could be like what was said earlier. I recently did a big end bearing and its not a cheap and easy job!
