Lets Try This again, With a BNRs4

[King Scumbag]

Well as some of you may know, I have been dealing with some pretty crazy fiascos for that past year with my build. Started off the Motor Build running a BNRs3 with no problems but as soon as I decided to finally anti up and install my FJ turbo kit with the PTE5858 it was all downhill from there. Failed JB PTE5858 at 300 miles and then current DBB5858 failure at the exhaust seal due to over oiling the turbo. I was running the previous -4an oil feed hardware from the JB on the DBB and thats a big no no....switched it to the proper -3an setup but was too late.....ANyways want to read more check them out here.

Failed JB5858 PTE Fiasco

Current smoking/oil Consumption DBB issues

Enough with that FAILED past.

My current built motor as it sits built by @mzr0818; and I with roughly 10k miles currently.

-Compression
>1-195 2-195 3-200 4-195
>Leak Down less than 5% on 1 to 4


SO.
Right now I am working with Bryan at BNR and we are going to run a t3 BNRs4 on my FJ turbo kit to see where it takes us. Of course tuned by @Justin@Freektune; As a friend and business partner I don't see myself not being freektuned (lemme whipe the brown shit off my nose real quick). Luh You be.

Reason why I am making this thread is to help and or spark peoples interest on running the same BNR setup as Bryan is wiling to help out and make that happen. He's been nothing but helpful in private discussions about getting it done!

List of what we have going on. (refer to BT Build thread for build specs)

BNRs4 50trim T3 turbo. T3 inlet/4 bolt 2.5" outlet.
-3" inducer and 2" outlet on the compressor housing.

Because I am currently on a "3" PTE" vband flange on the DP (which is actually 3.125 or something stupid) I talked to bae @Matt@FJPerformance; and they are welding me up a 2.5garret 4bolt flange to PTE 3" Vband flange outlet adapter. This will allow me to run this turbo setup on my current downpipe without any problems.

Because it is t3 some other different accessories will be required.
- 2 16mm Water Banjo bolts with adapter fittings to run coolant inlet and outlet.
- Coolant line as mine are deleted Kit came with -6an SS lines
- 1/8NPT to -6an adapter (for EGR)
- 3/8barbed to -6an fitting (coolant hard line adaptation)
- 1 -4anx1/8NPT 90* fitting for the Oil feed and -4an oil feed line.
- 4Bolt Gasket
- 4 M8x1.25 Studs and nuts for Outlet flange adapter.


I already have the proper -4an oil feed line from the original kit from FJ i just needed to pick up a kit for the coolant feed.

Kit I purchased for the coolant feed here.
6AN Water Line Kit Nissan Skyline RB25DET with Stock Turbo M18 Banjo Bolt | eBay

Other fittings? you can search them, they will come up.

As of right now I don't really have any power goals but to max out on Pump 93Oct fueling. I just want a car running normal and not taking down 4 quarts of oil in a month because its passing through the turbo exhaust hosing and sinking my wallet.

TBC..

Wish me luck its been a rocky past 7 months and an even worse year.

Man going from a 5858 to a s4... wonder how that's going to feel lol. Good luck in your endeavours. Same luck I need with mine

[BLKSTIG]

I wish Bryan would have offered me an option of this sort when I talked to him a couple weeks ago... I might have to go up there and twist his arm

Good luck with this and

I was very content with my car when I had the s3 running E85.

I've only been running a 93 tune with the 5858 and I've had to baby the car every single day. I don't see myself not being pleased.

In wouldn't say he offered. @Matt@FJPerformance; got us together and we asked him if he could do it. More of as a "possible option" in the future after full release.

[King Scumbag]

Coolant kit is in. Pretty good quality fittings for the price. 16mm banjos are massive lol

Some picture porn before the turbo went out today.

Everything else accessory wise has made its way in. Now we wait on the outlet flange adapter and turbo to come in

So.....now that we know the PTE wasn't your issue, what exactly is wrong with your car?

I have an intake valve in cylinder 3 that is spotless clean when I tore the car down the other day. All 7 other valves have a decent amount of buildup in them except that 1, even the valve next to it in the same cylinder. Cyl 3 was fairly wet as well. There was oil build up behind the tappet that managed to disappear after rotating the cams a few times.

So now I'm back to valve seals.

The original head may not have been valve seals at all but now for some reason this fresh head has produced the same valve seal failure symptoms. Not only do I have all the symptoms of bad valve seals but that ONE valve being spot let clean and having oil on it is leading me to that valve seal in cyl. 3

[King Scumbag]

So it pretty much has to be that intake valve seal. If I sit for more than 20-30min idling (aka stuck in boston traffic) cyl. 3 floods out and starts to misfire. I have to revv up the RPMs or get a good start for the cyl to burn the oil off.

Needless to say I'm avoiding traffic at all costs now lol

Your car just hates you/power. lol

Yea I'm trying to get a new valve seal in soon. No one in the boston area has them and quirk can't get them till Tuesday.

Interested to see how this pans out for you.

Did Bryan custom make the turbine housing or does the S4 accept Garrett housings?

[King Scumbag]

No updates because speed is being stubborn. Never ending Black hole. Took it off the road. Naught a beater pick up truck. Stuck the speed behind the house.

[impossible]

What happened to this.. over a year later. Didn't you find out they had the wrong seals installed on the leaking valves?
