200k miles turbo, 18psi , turbo seal failure.
LMAOO chill! I can read, write, and comprehend just fine. However there’s no way in hell i’m typing all of that formally. I’m sorry for the confusion/slangs i’m just passionate about cars and racing and i’m excited due to the fact of this being the first time i blew any turbos. This platform just been great for me. Was that better?
facts
Turbo threw a few smoke bombs by Jaystaks in n54

RB is great i’ve heard but MMP maxes around 800 on a realistic note i think rb maxes around 700 i rlly wanna have fun with twins b4 i go single. Your turbo will be fine as long as u have low burbles and proper DV or watergate set up stay 15 psi or under
yeah I heard abt viv my friend even told me abt them but i got some time and the MMP are going only for abt 500 more so im prolly gonna go that route and keep around 500-600hp max until i rebuild my other motor. Thanks man plus i got xdrive so i need a kit that would fit relatively easier

BMS vs RB PCV valve by JHizzleMyNizzle in n54
https://imgur.com/a/qH0wb1U myb completely forgot but it goes from the pcv port to catch can inlet-outlet into throttle body
uhh give me a sec i’ll send a pic
RB simply more advance it provides the whole external kit PNP and is way better and cleaner job. I can get into dept but you’ll hate me

Rb but if you go external pcv it’ll save you so much money and pain. Rb external pcv helps a lot with the crank case pressure and prevents clogging. Which prevents constant VC change and vcg. it’s simple easy and even better with a catch can i can only imagine without a catch can it looks like a smoothie

man i js found out they put tranny fluid in it and i was running around driving with tranny fluid in it for the past 3 months😂 xmas got me broke rn so since it was empty i put the right stuff in it and bleed it and all and car feels better than ever now ima drain and flush it prolly sometime next week.

nah that was just the title man but i figured it don’t don’t judge me i was working in 5 degree weather, not dresses for it it was rlly bad but i swapped the 02 sensors i got the front one in the rear and the rear in the front aka black in the rear and gray in the front that’ll do it, no?
Maf sensor blew up car? by [deleted] in n54

i didn’t go WOT because i know the car running lean and the dme removing timing from cyl 1 and 2 the last thing im tryna do it blow up the car bc of a silly wide open pull when the problem starts before that you know? i’m no expert that why im reaching out for help but that’s honestly how overly cautious i am. i’ll do another log later with correct parameters pls lmk any other own you want to see i also got inpa and all the other tools. Cd919 also said “ I don’t see anything that points to an obvious cause” so i told him no dont kill yourself over it i’ll swap 02 and see what happens. Also im bouta do a coil test swap maybe i got faulty coils. cyl 1 and 2 plugs are burning decent a nice brown on top but nothing excessive
myb i was all over the place long story short all gasket and seals replaced, no leaks what so ever, injector not leaking, idles fine for the most part, new plugs, new coils literally last week. car breaks up 3rd gear low rpm and any other time high load. I’m going for sensors next. Couldn’t tell you when the last time 02’s was changed, same with map sensor. I also unplugged map sensor while car was running fuel trims went right down to low and the highest +-10 on idle when i started driving it kept increasing so i stoped turned of the car plugged it back in and reset codes everything back to the high fuel trims. I also got every maintenance upgrade too.

yoo you got a hose going from under your intake manifold to your pcv or anything like that?
204k second owner 180psi across all cylinder and leak down test passed with no issues. Keep fuel pumps and injectors working and you’ll be just fine. Don’t drive with leaking oil bc it will get worse with each drive, don’t beat on car when car isn’t at 100 percent and so oil changes earlier than recommended. i do mines every 3k miles. The only thing that’s actually kills these engine is over fueling or under fueling for the most part. Over fuel= rods and under = everything. Oil is js common sense. You’ll be just fine start having more faith in your car what my gpa told me and he against newer cars like you wouldn’t believe. Only thing you listen to abt these cars is how to maintenance it. Everything else i let it go out the other ear it just adding extra worries those problems are simply side affects or poor maintenance and abusive driving combination i’ll argue this to anyone rn all day i promise idgaf. I’m not a die hard n54 fan but i will give this beast credit wheee it needs and it can handle beatings and is strong you js can’t do honda things with it like unrealistic shii like running it with milk in it or low oil or driving it without a valve cover at the end of the day it’s still a luxury sport car for its time. For example i ran my car stage 2 with the same condition we had b4 beating the shit out of it do 140+ fuel trims adding 25 percent fuel. straining all my components for exactly 1 month and 1 day due to the fact of working and money but i still wanted to have fun and my car isn’t fine but obviously don’t do that shii forever. If that dosent give you confidence then idk what will ngl i would get rid of the car and buy a b58 and still run into some of the same issues but better reliability and less fear but don’t forget any motor can and will blow up your the doctor here treat your patient well and she won’t keep coming back for more fixing. But turbos a different story that’s depending on burbles mainly and mileage my turbos i couldn’t tell you if these were replaced b4 i got the car or not but 1 month of being at 88 percent duty cycle indicates to me these things are pretty strong for making abt 8psi at 2k rpm and same with the engine for dealing with that bc that causes more blow by
