Nissan 200SX Club - South Africa

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....
