You damn right...at some stage I had around 340 WHP with 19 digrees....but listening carefully we heard detonation...so we braught it down and ended on 13 digrees...

I thought of it last night....if I could be at the dyno again...I could set the boost down and add more timing and most propably make the same or more horses....

Today I installed steel 6mm pipes to the wastegate so that the pipes will not burn off and screw up the boost.

After that I went for a drive to try and sort the bottom and middle of the map...got that ok...goes much better on bottom and middle, as smooth as you could do it without a proper afr reading...

Then on the way back home...boosted...can't remember. What happened but the boost is gone...same symtom as a boost pipe that popped off...but all the pipes looks fine...

My idea was that either the wastegate is stuck open or the blow off valve is stuck open...another something Nico said might be is the turbo shaft snapped....but on idle the compressor wheel spins and when driving you can hear a "whistle" type sound as if the turbo is spOoling....but no boost.....it shows that the vacuum goes positive but it does not go into positive boost at all.

So the car stands till I can get into it to see why there is no boost...

Got to taking off the blow off valve on the weekend, what a mission if you don't have proper cerclip plyers 🙄 ...it's your tool you fool...I know...

in anyway, got that off and could not notice anything wrong or a leak on it that would cause such a huge boost leak...

So the next step is to take out the wastegate and see if that is not stuck open.....

One thing I just remembered...after replacing the dump valve i noticed the vacuum reading on my boost gueage was -6 where it normally was around -8....normally if this happens there is a vacuum pipe off somewhere....but so far could not find any...

Took the wastegate off today, the wastegate was seased, no amount of air from the bottom nipple opens the wastegate more or closes it from the top nippel, spoke to Jhonny who makes and sels it, said I must bring it to him, which I did, fixed it for me in 10 min...teplaced valve and seals...
Very impressed with his service!!!!

Glad u came right bud, a mate of mine's siezed up sothat the wastegate would not open anymore, boosted 1 bar when dicktator was tuned for .5, and blew his motor.... Painfull SR20DET loss that....

Thanks....ouch...thats a bad one....

Mmmmmmmm yes....murphy is having the time of his life with me, found the wastegate problem as mentioned before, car is still not boosting, hearing a whining sound but no positive boost, will not go over 0 bar...

I am thinking turbo shaft snapped....buttttttt....I did some reading, normally when the shaft snappes you get the same symptom as blown journals, smoke ssmoke and smoke....so what gives....if the shaft is snapped....why no smoke???

Seems the turbo has to be replaced, so unless Santa droppes a nice T61 in my lap, the car will be parked under a car cover and be in deep sleep untill the funds shoot out of my ass to get a propper turbo.

Dude, sorry to hear man, this is a sad day my friend.....

Thanks man....shell live again one day 😉

If I had a spare turbo, I would give it to you?

Thanks man, would have appresiated it....I would put you up for some reward for the good people!!

Thanks for the kind words!!

LOL, Hope you get it sorted out soon.

I'm gona have sum friendly's next week with my 155kw ca against a 350z, decat exhaust & plenum (dont know wat means). anyways, will post in the relavnt section 😂

let us know>>>

The plan....in July 🙄 I will have money to buy a turbo, as advised by Garret South Africa: a T3/T4 hybrid with an AR36 housing stage lll wheel, an AR 60 compressor housing with a -25 comp wheel.

This would be able to supply me with max 350-380 whp...so there is the goal...at least 350 whp.... 🙄 😳 but at least for a street car...that is awsome!!!!

Holding thumbs for u cuzzy.....

Can't wait to see it going....
