i have a 2019 silver sport with 73k miles and original turbos...you HAVE to do oil changes every 3k miles or less...do NOT GO 10k as recommended definitely will smoke these turbos and engine prematurely!
This is it right here. I have a heavily modded q60 with down pipes, full E-85 fuel system (high and low pumps/Flex fuel kit) and I am hearing a TON of turbo wastegate rattle now. don't know if that's ok, but I am def. looking to upgrade turbos before they go
These cars are a pain in the butt. Turbo failure, internal coolant leak. I have a 2018 red sport, barely drive the car, turbos replaced, later that year coolant leaking into combustion chamber, engine replaced at 67k miles. Never beat on the car,oil always changed at 3 or 4K miles. Still had issues.
One big thing you missed that kills Q50/Q60 turbos is aftermarket BOV. When I first got my Q60 three years ago, I would always see (no joke) 3-4 posts a week of blown turbos/engines on Q Facebook pages. But ever since the owner of SonicTuned made a descriptive post of how BOV kill our turbos, almost every Q owner got rid of theres, and now I RARELY see a post about blown turbos or engines. I talked to a INFINITI technician, and he also said the same thing, lack of maintenance and buying cheap parts(cheaper Chinese sensors,etc) also kills the turbos/engines.
My 2017 Q50 Redsport had Turbo failure at 48k miles... They were bleeding coolant out the seals. The whole engine and turbos were replaced under warranty, but I ended up pushing it too hard being tuned and racing the new engine So I am now fully built w/RT V2 turbos.
My fully built car is faster in a 1/4mile race than a 911 turbo, multiple BMW's in M trim, tuned, upgraded turbos, tuned Mercedes, many Hellcats, Trackhawks, Teslas, and I spent less total on my built car (including the car) than buying any of the others stock. lol
@@dankolicious10 well obliviously the people buying those don't really care about money 🤣 just you had to replace everything while they did a few bolts on 🤣
The QC of the turbos are inevitable the time will come, the most you can do is baby it. No burbles, no flames FREQUENT OCI etc. You definitely can strike your luck if you stay on top of maintenance and don’t do anything to provoke harm on the turbos. Had a Friend with OEM engine and turbos all the way up to 117k miles tuned and BO. I’d say that’s hella life compared to the norm of the turbos. Just expect to upgrade if especially modding. Stock you a birdbrain you don’t grab that warranty smh
One of my turbos failed at 30k on my 2019 Q50S. Dealer is replacing under warranty along with a leaking water pump. My car is babied and only commutes back and forth on the highway for work, 40 miles round trip. Regular oil changes every 5k at the dealer and still fell victim to turbo and water pump failure
145 kms q50 turbos work great actually had them inspected when I did my lower down pipes and theywere perfect? Amsoil 5w 30 signature black series only oem Nissan oil filters and no more then 4kms in between oils changes
Bought my 2017 Q50 premium 6 months ago at 48K miles at a dealer, and it's had the wastegate rattle since I got into but still going strong and healthy 6k miles later. I recommend oil changes at least every 5,000 miles, and even still I always have the fear that something will go wrong.
I've been looking around for awhile and q50 aftermarket turbos dont have a lot of feedback barely anybody buys them. They should be more reliable though
I had a 2019 35k miles blow turbo seals, I caught mine the second I got the car, I was the second owner idk how long he was driving on them on but for the most my engine seems healthy
One of my turbos went on my 2017 Q50 Red Sport at 45000 kms. The dealer replaced under warranty in April 2023. Apparently there is a TSB but Infiniti has not issued a recall. I was told there is a defect in the turbo and it was manufactured with the channel being too narrow. The dealer would not replace both turbos.
noticed my car had lost of power and slight whistling at about 25000 mile brought it to infiniti of greenwich and even had a tech from infiniti to test drive it and tech said the car was driving normal, but i kno my car , 10000 mile later sound got worse infinit of fairfield confirmed that both turbos were failing. service advisor at infiniti of greenwich didn't even know what a road force balance was, i had to point out that they has the equipment to do it and even after i requested it done they didnt do it. prior to that service they changed the rack and the DAS was screwed, they did the alignment over 5 times and a same tech from infinti had to come and fix the problem .
It's honestly so unfortunate that they didn't design these turbos correctly. It's the VQ family all over again starting with so-so reliable engines. The q50 has the potential to be budget GTRs
This was helpful thanks. Question I had to put in more antifreeze to my red sport 2020 Q50. Bought in January of 2023 I put half of antifreeze gallon just yesterday. Also When starting the car in the morning. Engine loud then goes normal. Thank you
The main reason i think this engine is so unreliable is for the following reasons: 1. Hot v turbo configuration which creates alot of heat. This is bad for alot of reasons. 2. Open deck design. Turbos cars with high boost should always have a closed deck design for strength 3. No forged pistons or engine internals. High boost turbo cars need this. 4. Low quality small turbos with poor hardware and design 5. Inadequate system cooling performance 6. Use of 0w20 oil from factory. They do this for emissions. The oil is too thin and can evaporate and Wont provide proper lubrication under load. 5w30 is best for these cars 7. Pourous long block / crack issues. 8. Faulty injectors 9. Serpentine belt alignment issues 10. Engine Valve seals leaking issues 11. Leaking water pump Compare this engine to a b58 and it makes sense why that engine is extremely reliable. This is pretty poor on Nissans part as the VQ was legendary for its reliability. Shame on nissan as they have the know how since the GTRs engine is reliable. The q50 has become a warranty car. This is why infiniti is failing as a brand. Once im done with my VQ q50 im switching to another brand. The VR will not survive high mileage use like the VQ. This sucks
Turbo whine seems to be normal. Had it since I got the car with 6k it has now at 50k. Coolant leak. I had that, well it was not a leak, it was evaporation under pressure. The Radiator cap had failed. I replaced all the coolant caps (three) and now that seems to be solved too.
@@tariqzraika2003 of course you wont. people that pay that much for turbos, only to have them fail after spending upwards of $10,000 for parts/install/tune arent going to say a whole lot about it. theres been at least 2 failures so far from them. only 2, sure, but its not like theyve sold 10,000 units or anything. its just something to be aware of, thats all.
