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

    • It really depends on your setup. Mine is 'accidently' more suited to revving higher. bigger cams, turbo etc. Plus my super long first takes donkey years to come onto boost, so if it will move my power band to the right, maybe i'll pass on this. i have a G45-1500 going on there soon which I suspect might make it more of a fat pig.
    • Yeah good call, I will endeavour to tuck that down when I rewrap the looms it’s pushed up by
    • Good work. I will say, this line circled however, will potentially pool with oil, as it's going from high, to low, to high, before heading downwards.
    • Yeah, thumbsup from me. The distant shot of the bay just looks same-same as before.
    • Dad had a court case drag out with them from 1998 to 2004. He was in a not at fault accident, NRMA were the ones who covered the other person. They tried to blame his neck injuries on the fact he'd had an injury in 1981 on his extreme lower back where he slipped a single disc right near the bottom. Had been all cleared from that injury for years. This accident destroyed his shoulder, and f**ked a heap of discs in his neck, and he still has major problems with it to this day. Sarah's sister while on her L plates had a small Suzuki Alto, she had stopped to give way to an ambulance, and someone changed lanes behind her because there lane was also slowing, and rear ended her at 80km/h. (She had been stopped for a few seconds already too!). Car was completely f**kED. NRMA sent the vehicle around to 3 different workshops as they kept claiming "We believe it can be repaired, and not written off, we just need to find the correct workshop". It took 3 months, and a lot of arguing before they'd concede and wrote it and paid out. About two years later her sister had a Lancer, someone pulled out of a stop sign without stopping (in an 80 zone). Her sister swerved, hit the front of the other persons car (Instead of dead t-boning the drivers door), which ramped her Lancer, and made it roll multiple times down the road. It hit every panel on the way through. Her sister had slid her self out of the car, and remembers the ambos walking to the accident (They'd been sitting at a set of lights just down the road and witnessed it) and they were saying "Well, this ones going to be a fatality, no way you can walk away from that". Well, she did. And then NRMA sent two assessors out to look at the car, both of which wrote it off. They tried to send another assessor out, except a HUGE uproar was raised, and they FINALLY paid it out. That was on a car, that had damage to EVERY panel, you could see from 100m away the whole car was also twisted, roof bowed etc. Nah, we'll try get out of needing to payout on a $10,000 car... Her sister ended up with major shoulder reconstructive surgery being required, and was permanently limited in her ability to do her job as a nurse after that, as she can't (And was told before surgery too this would be guaranteed to happen) regain full strength in that shoulder. However, there was no choice to not have it, as she could barely use her arm, which was her dominant one, and was in near constant major pain. (And she's the type of person that would try and walk off a broken leg!) NRMA did the biggest run around on the personal injury side too for about 18 months, even to the point of trying to put 100% blame of the accident on Sarah's sister, even though the other driver admitted she didn't look, and didn't stop, and was charged by the police. Sarah used to have a Barina insured with them. It was a policy setup, paid all 12 months in advance. At the end of the 12 months, Sarah was living with me, I reviewed the renewal, it clearly stated "If you do nothing, your policy will cease on XYZ date". We did nothing, as we moved her insurance in with all of mine and I was with Shannons. We find out 10 months later, NRMA decided, because he DAD had a car insurance policy at the same address as what Sarah's mailing address was (Garaged address had been changed), that they'd put Sarah's (What should have been non existent policy) onto her Dad's month to month charges on his credit card. We had to jump through hoops, to get a refund. They didn't care that we actually found the letter that said "If you do nothing, your policy will cease" they made us prove we had NON COMPULSORY insurance else where before they'd issue the refund, and after they agreed to the refund, it still took another 6 weeks and 3 more phone calls for them to actually process it. They also had two insurance claims from storm damage, and they were an absolute cluster to get resolved as well (one vehicle, one house). Some how, up until about 3 years ago, her parents were still loyal to NRMA too, and we were like "How the hell are you so loyal to staying with them, when other places are so much cheaper, and they've f**ked you over every time you've ever had to make a claim?"
