Its only just started in the last few months and Ive been switching and changing shit, the only thing left to change is the turbo, but before I do this I want to rull something out.

It only starts when the engine is under load and doesnt always happen

me and my mates have been looking for leaks and we cant seem to find any

I have also changed the belts but it seems to be comming from the Turbo side

I have pulled all the pipes of and checked the turbo for any play and its still like brand new no movement.

Now I put 10w40 Minerial Oil in my car as a test so im hoping this hasnt caused the issue I was a little worried at first.

Any Ideas I took it to hyperdrive they said turbo, but they didnt really test anything they just heard the noise, and I took it to another macanic and he said it is possable the turbo, But if thats the case what in the turbo is making the noise?

It does sometimes happen when it nutural but not all the time.

Also there are two holes on the turbo on the exhaust side, Dont know what they are for but I have put two plugs in one keeps falling out but I think I have this one it tight could this be where the noise it comming from?

Mine makes a kinda whistle from the turbo side of the car since i installed the splitfire coilpacks. It only really does it when im boosting, so i'm gonna assume mines turbo related - but you say yours sometimes happens on idle...

I had a chipped turbine blade (ceramic) which made a shrill/squealing noise. Only on full throttle though. Only takes a tiny little chip on a blade to throw out balance (im guessing) and cause a noise.

Hope this helps.

I sometimes hear a high pitched sound - always low revs and at a particular load point. If I push the throttle or ease off it slightly, sound disappears...

Kinda sounds like a feedback noise when you hold a microphone too close to a speaker...

Is that the same as you guys?

^ haha no shit, mine does the same too! This is bad, two annoying sounds in the same thread and my car shares both of them.

The mechanic told me its the grease used on the starter motor catches dust and gets stuck after its done its job - he said a rebuild will fix it, using silicon grease so it doesnt stick to dust.

But my high pitched sound is exactly as kasanoff described. Happened after the Front mount and coilpacks...

Mine doesnt always happen tho and only when at full boost and when the car is under a lot of strain but yer its a high pitched noise seems like im not the only one with this sort of issue :D

also yes it is imbarrising when you go flying past a car with a screeeeeeeeem comming from the engine

If it's a screaching sound when it comes onto boost I'll put my money on an exhaust leak. It's pretty common on the rb20's to leak between the exhaust manifold to turbo gasket.

If one of those bungs you mentioned falls out all the time I'll bet that's what it is.

Some guys have pulled all the heat shields off etc and have found the turbo loose and with only one nut holding it on. I had a high pitched screeching noise on my rb20 when it came onto boost and that's what it ended up being.

Cheers

my turbo sounds like a arnold swarzeneger with his nuts in a vice, realy high pitched from bout 3500 rpm (full load) i just figured steel wheel plus 18psi would make this noise, could also be the fact the internal gate bleeds off, possibly your internal gate is bleeding off cause high amounts of boost to be leaking under presure past the wastegate plate, does your boost hold solid? what amount of boost you running?

My turbo also does this, a high pitched shreiking noise. Sounds like the turbine is scraping the housing or something, Only happens when you go from zero boost to full boost very fast eg on a gear change. Sounds like a wave as well, like itll do it for half a second then fade away and then fade in again. Ive got a split pulse dump pipe as well, so its possible its just weird turbulence or something.

Im assuming its the turbo being on its last legs but Ill wait for the exhaust wheel to end up in the cat before I change it.

mine does exactly the same started doing it once i put on a pod so im guessing its because of the way the air goes through the pod at that particular point causes a whistle its definatly not a problem or because anything is shagged and i wouldnt be doin any major component changes to fix it

    • I'm hoping I just don't have to do an engine rebuild NOW. Doesn't mean I won't do it at some point. I think a plus point is that the car presumably ran on or close to stock power nearly all it's life so far. Only the Owner I bought it from actually increased power with a standalone ECU and blew the OEM turbos. And after it got thee 2860s it wasn't driven an awful lot either.   That is what I meant. With the twins coming on so late (4500-5000rpm) I hope the rods won't want to exit the block prematurely. And it still being a 26 means the torque curve isn't gonna hike up all that much.   It didn't blow up on the dyno when they tuned it to 500ish crank. So I suppose it'll be okay for now. They did put a Tomei head gasket on first though which did not seal at all, and they redid it with a Cometic one. Which I hope won't be my water leak.   Mainly anything oil. So far all it has is the N1 pump, oil restrictor and a filter relocation kit with a cooler.
    • 15000? ish? Something like that anyway. It wasn;t so much a wear as a tear that then spread. Might have lasted a lot longer if not bothered by just one incident, whatever it was. I took a punt. They are really comfortable and do a good job of holding. My daughter HATED it when I first put them in, and probably still does now. She has sensory issues and hates the way they are all up your business. I'm 197cm and 95kg. Not fat or particularly wide, and the XL size seat is the rigth fit. If I was any fatter it would start to get too snug. Any skinnier and you'd possibly want the smaller width.
    • Mrs rs focus came factory with recaro cs  sportsters in it and they a pain in the ass to get in and out of with the really high bolsters, once you were in them they were one of the most comfortable seats I have ever sat in
    • The NA 2.5 has very little torque. You won't feel much. Those trannies are also a million years old now and it could well be f**ked. First generation electronically controlled autos will often refuse to kick down, ete, etc, depending on what's wrong with them.
    • Yes, but no but yes but no. Those "it's fine up to 500HP" rules and everything else like it were all determined back when the cars were 10 years old. As they are now 30 years old.....what do you reckon the chances of something shitting the bed are? I'd say they are much higher now than they used to be. You might be lucky. You might be unlucky. Spin the wheel and find out. Yeah, nah. It's actually exactly the opposite. Making boost early and having heaps of torque able to be generated right in the middle of the rev range will do more to damage an engine than having to rev it high to make the power. Think about the load on the conrods, bearings, etc, to make 400HP at 4000 rpm, vs 400 HP at 6500 rpm. So someone has already "let the Nissan out" which is how we describe the increased chance of a fiddled with engine to have had something done wrongly. Many more engines that have been opened die than stock ones do - even if you into consideration how they are treated wrt power levels and the like. Again, not saying that yours will definitely have been put back together by a moron. But the possibility does exist. It's still a lottery. Spin the wheel. What weakspots?
