Newbee Question.(should be a sticky for really dumb questions for newbee's like me)

[future_R34]

I asked questions like this when I was 9, guess were not all car "genuis"


.......... God help us all....

[Phillyb]

lol if your asking questions like this maybe you should reconsider owning a skyline in the first place

Obvious troll is obvious.

He did give me a laugh though, I think when he mentioned blown turbos, he was literally thinking of blowing into turbos.

Now please bring down the banhammer on him, he's just spreading disinfo, and asking troll questions.

Ironic username is ironic

[Nismoist]

I wasnt going to point this out until I saw your other thread calling all of us d-bags for not holding your hand with your lazy questions but....

Anyways, my username doesn't reflect me at all.

Actually your name does kind of suit you, I recommend that you look up the proper spelling for genius before calling yourself one in the future

-1.......**** doesn't work that well.

if your looking to answer questions like this, best to start by researching the basics of how an engine works, how a turbocharger works and what air/fuel ratio/mixtures are and the breakdown of how they are controlled. Most of these can be found on www.howstuffworks.com. Learn the basics then move up rather than learn bits and pieces without having the fundamentals down pat.

+1 this is a forum for Skyline fanatics, not for basic engine doodads

Well blow off is fine that's when you make boost and let off the gas. Spoiling is when the turbo is working on making it's full boost. And an o2 is actually an oxygen sensor which is used to count the particles of air to fuel so it can tell the computer to richen or lean

[SkylineGenuis]

wha's an o2? lol. i thought those "pop" sounds are normal for turbo cars?

[flipridah17]

tha's the "pop" noise you get once in a while?...........i get somethign like that when I switch gear and let out the clutch. is that it?..........i thoguht it by like collecting air to get better boost is what spooling was. lolz

haha that sounds like your 02 is shot.. When I had my first skyline it sounded like that as I was running it lean..
