Hi Guys..

Just before new years a friend and I installed my fmic.. its a R34 GTR front mount..

Ever since then when the turbo spools up I get a very high pitch wistle sound..

As my friends would put it.. it sounds like a truck turbo.. Its extreamly loud!

Any Ideas on what it could be??? All the piping is clamped on pretty tight.. and im not losing any power..

I just dont want my turbo blowing..

Cheers,

Corinne

z0mg turbo?!

Umm.. whistling would suggest that perhaps it's either a gasket or one of the pipes leaking air. I'd be leaning towards gasket

Check the blow off valve as well if you're running one

Stock bov.. Havent touched any of it except fm and exhaust pipes.. which it only started when the fm went on.. Other then that my mechanic does all the engine work..

double check all the pipes and the intercooler for cracks

Sounds like a boost leak and it could even be a cracked pipe or intercooler or lose clamp or even a hole in a hose joiner.

does it sound like a vaccume cleaner thats blocked?

smoke test.....how about using the decarboniser? $20 from subaru. i had the same noise and when ever i used the that de-carbon spray thingy the smoke would come out of my exhaust manifold. broken studs and buggered gaskets. all fixed and problem solved.

oh no. you need to tighten up your turbo. the bolts are loose. and it will fall off. well not literly. but if you get it now. you can save the gasket.

DAVVEEEE DONT TELL ME THAT! *cries*

do you mean the kettle whistle noise?

mine does that, since the fmic went on

its a crappy chinese core and it just whistles away

Yesst thats what it sounds like..

But mines not a crappy chihnese core :( stock R34 gtr cooler *sigh*

how is it mounted (in terms of the front bar)

my front bar (series 2 one) was cut up a fair bit

and was a bit of a hack job install

i think the whistling may be coming from the cutting

and air passing arround the core / air ducting etc..

the easiest way to check drive along at say 50km/h

clutch in, let the idle engine

if you can hear whistling, its probably the core / front areodynamics making it whistle.

my 33 whistles quiet a lot, very audible

somewhat amusing as well

its the kettle car

      I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.

      I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.

      It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...

      I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate

      Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
