MAJOR Upgrade on my Girlfriend's 240sx! (SR20det)

My girlfriend and I have been building her Nissan 240sx S13 project car together for a few years now. We finally had the opportunity to upgrade the stock Blacktop SR20 T25 turbo to a Garrett T28 ball bearing turbo! We installed a Tomei manifold and Mazworks exhaust studs while everything is apart. Pretty crazy to see a Nissan Cima Y33 out in the wild!

It's always cool watching some engine/turbo build video with some deep explains 😄 Waiting for the next chapter of the glorious Gloria 🤘

can’t wait

[@PBRSandCARS]

Make sure you check vaccuum lines or adjust throttlebody (if possible). I had an issue with my car dying when coming to stop after it warmed up because the engine was essentially getting choked out from not getting enough air.

[@joshuasutton5019]

My car does the same thing! ill have to check those!

[@s15melb]

vacuum leak + unmetered air with the afm makes these issues on maf based cars @@joshuasutton5019

[@PrizzaMike]

Update: you were correct, found a hole in the intercooler pipe lol

[@PBRSandCARS]

Just a LS guy saving one Sr at a time 🫡

[@OnlyMags24]

One other thing to look at is IAC valve. I know a bad idle air control valve will create a vacuum leak situation which the computer cannot regulate with a bad valve, can also be why your running rich as the computer is trying to compensate for the extra air by enriching the fuel mixture. Good luck 👍🏾 keep focus on the goal.

[@jaxyn_b]

love seeing the details of the turbo swap! always cool to see how stuff gets routed around to fit

[@Antiliv.]

Always good to see franzy's 240 getting some work done hell yeah

[@oscarj9058]

I think it's f'n cool how you and your girl Franzie have 240's and the fact that she does work on the cars with you. Keep the great content coming bro!!

I swear it stills looks so great outside in his videos. Here it's freezing cold and rainy everyday and it feels like we're getting only a couple of hours of daylight I haven't been able to put a single hour of work on my car even tho it absolutely needs to be ready to send to paint before the end of this year...

[@953000gtbe]

That thumbnail killed me 😂 glad we are getting so much time before the cold.

[@thieltech1]

Could also be the IAC ( idle air control valve ) near the throttle body. Also could be a large vaccum leak or a larg intake leak.

[@Yoshi6969]

22:39 it's so funny to me that I live in Montana and never see anything like this, but then i'll watch youtube videos and see these sick imports rocking the plates.

Great job! I really like watching your videos and the content is always engaging, however each video I expect to see you starting the paint job for your project cars but it never happens :D Oh well, will wait for that day and until then - still continue watching and expecting... :)

Nice job, always satisfying to put new parts together ❤

[@dvldrvr420]

I had a similar dying issue in my s13. Turned put to be the cluster. It was doing the same thing, all ancillary gauges worked, but the tach an speedo read all the way to the right. Swapped clusters an it went away.

[@romodon3213]

Wow never heard of such an issue.

[@asosa7100]

Soooo nice seeing you assemble the turbo together 🔥

[@darrenpalethorpe1361]

Yes Mike yet another awesome video! Love all your content and I finally downloaded the song at the end of your videos❤ keep up the good work boi

[@Ipodbuddy07]

I ran into a similar issue with a wrx. The BOV was causing some sort of weird vacuum issue and would kill the car in the exact same way. Swapped it out and worked perfect after.

[@QuattroWayne]

Mike I was watching your videos about 4 months ago and I saw you weld the oil pan of the 300zx after cleaning it with brake clean and when brake clean reaches a certain temperature it creates a gas that can be fatal if your exposed to it often the best and most safe thing you can use is acetone

[@FluePeak]

Brake clean is safe to do so, if you let it air out. Brake clean dont leave a residue since its about 55% acetone to the weight, and it evaporates.

[@QuattroWayne]

@@FluePeakyeah but if there is any left even a tiny bit it is extremely dangerous

[@FluePeak]

@@QuattroWayne meh, your talking about so little that it is irrelevant. Even if it’s left it would evaporate as fast as the engine reaching any higher temps

[@SharpieEasternn]

The new green can formula of brake clean doesn’t do that when heated. The green cans are mostly acetone. That was an issue with the older red cans, which are made with mostly Tetrachloroethylene. The red cans are getting harder to find nowadays anyway Still not a good idea to weld with brake clean tho

[@QuattroWayne]

@@SharpieEasternn yeh I'm sure he knows I just said incase he didn't because I remember getting really sick when I was doing my old Nissan blue birds frame rails I found out from my doctor so it's good to know just incase

[@justvibingman]

Dude that Yakuza Nissan at thee end, holy smokes!!! I'm golad my wife is not the only one with such an irrational fear of every spider haha. It's all good that's what your partner is there for right?

[@pault8591]

Mike do you have a Blow off valve on your car? BOV's make maf cars run super rich and can cause the stalling you see after load. my z32 used to do that until i went back to re-circulation valves.

[@PrizzaMike]

No BOV at all!

[@alexedwards6397]

Adjust your base idle set screw. I had the same problem with my 3000gt years ago and that was the fix.

[@johnxina2140]

Loved when you chased your cat lol, that's always cute

[@Murban91]

When i got my skyline it would do this. The MAF was bad, the solder on the pins was braking.

[@i_had_3_pugs]

Bro laterally my car us N/A and doing the same. On the code reader it says p0600. just says missing link to ecm. cuts out when driving,. if i turn it off and on and pop it in second off I go again, sometimes jerks.. need to look into it tomorrow. great vid keep it up!!

[@gateaccess818]

either vac leaks, or your idle air control valve, also could double check your tps is ohming within range

[@TsunakaClubby]

its funny coming back to this video months later knowing there's a massive hole in that intercooler pipe causing all the issues the car has been experiencing and not the turbo or coolant temp sensor. like, imagine if it didn't get so dark so early. you might have noticed the hole when you checked it in the parking lot after the first test drive

[@essthirteen6138]

my kaT has the same stalling issue ive given up trying to fix it just downshift everytime i drive it so it wont die. cant wait to see if you figure it out so i dont have to anymore

[@rtgskullfox]

mike. new wiring harness and a standalone for frans car. this will help all of your issues, while ordering the harness get a link monsoon, best bang for buck and with ordering the harness you can have them tailor the harness to that setup. and NO MORE MAF go to map sensor!

[@Ren200Z_MotoringLife]

look into the idle control valve they act up also giving them a clean might help

[@Anthony-fc1zb]

Hondas tend to have that same issue of dying out after letting off throttle and its the iac valve. Maybe try checking that out?

[@bokexd3173]

Bendaga had the same issue with his 1997 Civic hatchback, he cleaned out the throttle body and it fixed the issue.

[@gateaccess818]

you guys are soooooo fn lucky to still have a manual car was locally. all of mine have been torn down and replaced with automated drive through washes. hate it!!!!

[@America_Countryhumans1]

I think u jot the nail in the coffin ecu

[@BoostyMoose]

Dying after load sounds like the problem I was having with my crankshaft position sensor. When tletting the car coast for a while, it would die as soon as I press down the clutch. I dont know enough about these engines to know if it has one of those sensors though

[@DailyReel]

Let's go BOYZ. Mikes back to the daily grind #DailyReel

[@d4rkz3nn3n]

The dying when putting the car in neutral could be there isnt enough airfkow going past the maf sensor. I was having that issue on my 240 and what was causing it was the intake boot was torn in between the trottle body and maf sensor so it wasnt getting a good reading

[@joaquincerda9897]

Check the tps,and iacv.had the same issue on a nissan before and ended up being a tps.

[@ronks02]

I will wait the day when nissan get's new paint on 🙈keep it going mike😎

[@ihatez28ilovez32]

This is old but if you’re running stock ecu and have a BOV it’s gonna stall out after you let off throttle. Air that was supposed to be recirculated is being vented Or there’s a boost leak in ic or intake. Hopefully ya get it sorted

[@braidanmoe3209]

like the vids mike keep it up , i would appreciate it if you got a mic or something of sort 😂

[@gateaccess818]

07:56 gasket orientation doesn't matter cause itll flatted out when you torque bolts anyways. HOWEEVER. since the turbo down pipe gasket is directional (from its shape) look at the orientation of the crush lip on that down pipe gasket when installed, in relation to the flow of exhaust gasses. this will give you an idea for what the engineer intended for the crush washer orientation via the flow of exhaust gases.

[@PrizzaMike]

Great idea!

[@Lvzero0]

Mike, I don't know if anyone has said this yet but this problem could because your MAF is too close to your Turbo. It might not be reading the air correctly because of a vortex of air by the turbo. Move the Maf away from the turbo.

[@lewyswalters89]

Mike could it be the idle air control valve or something throttle body related?

[@rickbradick1890]

Check the IACV that is most likely the issue causing it to die out I had the same issue with my TT Z32 I'm also in IL

[@emersonc1210]

I'm not sure you needed the factory gasket if those adapter flanges had o-rings on both sides, depending on the material they should be able to hold up to the heat. Also I have done a few t28 turbo swaps, and almost always had to heat the dp and put a small dent where it was contacting with the block.

[@ClydeStoner]

Try the evap purge valve if it's still dyeing

[@mermps]

SR good, sr always good!

[@david929190]

Check for vacuum leaks. If you don't have a plug for boost leak testing they are easy to make and would be good content.

[@11astronauts25]

increased the idle on the biss screw by the throttle body ...😁

[@typedrew]

Having a massive air leak before or right after the o2 will cause it to stall. You only had 2 bolts in a 5 bolt flange. This includes pre turbo leaks also.

Hey Mike, try to replace the tps, iac valve - maybe that is the issue.

[@LonTierney]

Don’t know if you resolved the dying, but if it’s only when you are post-acceleration, the BOV can be passing air, and the stock ECU will still be dumping fuel, flooding it. I have that issue. Solution is to get an ECU that fuels off TPS, or just don’t do that :-)

[@lucaslageraaen2708]

I had the same problem with my s13 died after a pull and letting go of the gas. I has to turn up the idle even tho the car ran om idle. Hope this helps👍

Do you think you'll get around to painting both 240s this winter? Or maybe just paint Franzy's 240 and the bay of yours?

[@nickw0tup]

Id test the bov being after the afm theory first , being the blow off valve is releasing measured air causing a super rich condition which the iac cannot send enough air to counter for . Either adjust your bov to super hard so it doesn't open as easily, or confirm it by blocking the bov port completely and retesting

[@PrizzaMike]

Currently running no bov

[@nickw0tup]

@@PrizzaMike ohms test the iac would be the next test I would perform , if you can bring up live data to confirm o2 sensor is within range , aside from fitting a known good one .
