I’ve just got the sad news that my new steel turbo’s that I had installed just a few weeks ago have blown internally.
The background is I had the original turbo’s sent to Japan to have steel internals fitted to handle up to 1.2 bar, then in June I went to Nuerburgring, I had meet a group of people from Belgium. I took the first group of 3 out no problems at all then having changed passengers on the second lap exiting out of Adenauer Forst I noticed blue smoke coming out of the exhaust as I lifted of the gas.
There was no noticeable loss of power but I took it gently home and trailed my car to the garage that takes care of my car these days.
Robert removed and returned the turbo’s to Nissan their diagnosis was that both internals had blown probably because of ‘to much pressure on the intake’ this doesn’t make much sense to me.
I think I should also mention that I have never actually run 1.2 bar and on the day was running .7 bar.
Question is though what is likely to cause the turbo’s to go like this?
