Beep Noise On Boost?

hey lads and lassies,

Just a quick question: i have a relatively stock r33 ('93). I recently installed an intercooler and a bleed valve. I've got the boost set on about 10psi at the moment.

What i've noticed though, is that when boost goes over about 7psi, i can hear an electonic beep, which appears to be coming from either under the bonnet or in the drivers footwell...?

I've really got no idea what this would be, it's a single-pitched beep, which only continues with the boost above a certain level, then stops once i take my foot of the accelerator.

I'm slightly concerned that this could be some component telling me it's not happy.

Anybody know what i'm talking about?

I'd really love some help on this one...

thanks!

(series 1 gtst, stock ecu, blitz pod, hks bov, and aside from that she's stock. stock fuel pump, but probably should be upgraded soon anyway).

although I am not 100% sure, but I've heard that some Skylines (imports) from Japan come with boost/speed limiters. Hence, if you bost your car up to a certain level it actually beeps to let you know that your performance has been limited.

Secondly, some aftermarket ECU's (not sure if you got one) may beep when there's a malfunction of some sort in the management of fuel, boost, airflow, vacum etc in your car.

Hard to say, you will need to see a mechanic to be sure as it does not sound too good. I wouldn't leave it too long.

A mate of mind started getting weird sounds from his engine bay, left it thinking it was nothing serious and now he's blown his turbo - not suggesting you're is this serious, but would definitely get it checked out asap.

good luck

      OEM Soko: Japanese business supplying Automotive items from Japan - Freebie inside!

      We have some genuine Japanese legally decommissioned car number plates now in stock 🙂 Add some legitimately obtained JDM style to your Skyline or other Japanese model, or simply as a garage/man cave decoration! About the 40mm hole: The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure & Transport in Japan recognised the popularity of keeping decommissioned plates among car enthusiasts and came up with a method to "destroy" (or render them unusable for street use) while still retaining their collectable/usable value for display etc.  We have 40mm hole covers available to cover the hole nicely with a Sakura motif, which are also available in white in (very!) limited quantities, however they frequently sell out. Please let me know if you're wanting one or more of these and I'll check availability. The Sakura motif covers are more common. https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set-su-7515 https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-400mm-hole-cover *Please note that we can't obtain particular number or area name (eg: "Gunma 500 Fu ・86") if requested. All plates are provided as they become available after decommissioning.

      Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.

      You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.

      Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?

      Rb20e and RB20DET parts

      By A31Skyline · Posted

      yess of course im not using 2nd hand parts from my spare engine, but the place where i live is hard to find parts for the RB20DET ,but for the RB20E is everywhere including new ones and a lot cheaper ,because for the RB20DET you have to order it overseas to get one and it cost a lot of money 3x the price to be exact. so i ask this topic because if i can use the new ones but for RB20E is it compatible or not. if not im screwed haha, not totally screwed but i have to save a lot of money first before i can begin repairing my engine, thanks for the information before.
