Thread: Quirky turbo issues

Hey gents, I'm happy to report, after installing my Nismotronic the car runs great shout out to JK For an awesome base tune. She is relentless. I am now buttoning up small issues then scheduling Marsh tuning ASAP

Thanks for all your help guys!
Will post a video about how she does on boost soon. It's spin city right now.

post the results from the tune!

you mopped that up before anyone could even respond lol

I will! I'm gettin an alignment this week hopefully, and doing some finishing touches!



I hope I was on the hunt man, smelled the blood lol

Looks solid, sounds strong! X2 post up the dyno video. Post up when you're going too, maybe I'll be ready and we can meet up and follow each other down there. I just gotta install my new VE valve cover, final boost leak check, change my oil, and I'm ready. I've called and spoke with them a couple times....good dudes on the phone!

Dude I will definitely let you know!

Right now I'm struggling with my dip stick popping out. The PCV valve is working good well it seeps a little little bit but nothing major.

Gunna do a compression chek tonight.
And turn the boost down I'm pretty sure the plumbing is good

Mine pops out too, fairly common "issue" for our motors when turbo'd. If everything is legit and you're not boosting the crankcase (BAD), it's nothing more than an old dry rotted gasket on the stick.

On a stick!

PVC checked out good.

Compression check....clyinder number 4 was asleep. Zero.

Busted out the bore scope and spotted something funny.

6 hours later....






Believe it or not the cylinder wall is not bad at all! Very very lucky.

This that were shipped Friday
All gaskets intake side thanks Gspec!
And I purchased Avenir rods and pistons with rings.
Also purchased a Cometic 1.1mm head gasket.
And new ACL SR20DET race rod bearings.
Should be running by Friday. Could have done it all in one day but I just don't have the parts. All things will be torque'd to fsm specs.

Need to keep boost low and get to marsh before the next beating.
