My RB20DET is pretty much stock, with stock turbos and only has a 3 inch piping exhaust with a pod air filter.Recently it starts to give out some rattling sound. Theres a soft and slight rattling sound when it idles and when it moves through the first gear the sound becomes louder and louder as i go faster. The sound is something like klak klak klak klak. Is it possible that the sound comes from the turbo? My boost meter reading is still normal though. Any idea where i should look into? Thanks

Noticed something today. Whenever i step on the clutch the sound goes away. It only comes when i let go of the clutch. Will a faulty clutch bearing produce this rattling sound?

well haha had i known that before haha yeah it could quite easily be the clutch release bearing or the clutch spigot bearing

Hmm i guessed so. Would it be dangerous if i leave it just like that?

r32woohoo: Im not sure as the previous owner just told me it was some performance clutch. Might be a single. How does it affect?

Thank you everyone for the feedback.

    • I'd use any fuel safe foam....mine went in 15 years and 15 rebuilds ago, still getting reused I'd have to say I don't understand swapping to studs to fit a particular baffle unless you are having a massive blowby issue, and even if you are addressing crankcase not head breathing is probably the next step.
    • BTW, the reason I came in here to "update" this list was that the Garrett G Series II range have been released and I've updated the list with their flow details if you're curious to check how they fit with previous Garretts and other brands The G-Series II G35 990 looks like a banger...
    • Hi all, I thought I'd put one of these references in here before but it seems I haven't - not sure how many people are actually using this place still but I feel like there are guys lurking about who might find this reference useful or interesting.  A lot of the time people don't catch key details or even fully understand how compressor maps work - or don't even look at them and just go from heresay about deciding how different turbos may compare, but I've been putting together this table over the years as a quick reference to get a gauge of how certain compressors compare to cut down the time that can be wasted looking around aimlessly. * This relates purely to compressor flow, so won't necessarily reflect the outright capabilities of these turbos as the power potential also comes down to the turbine side.  If you understand this, you should be able to use this 😃 * The inducer and exducer size listed are the mm of just the compressor wheel * The values under the "psi" headings are "lb/min airflow" and reflect the maximum airflow that compressor supports before it's efficiency dips under 65%, or it reaches it's maximum speed - whichever comes first. Any questions, or requests for other turbos which the compressor map is available for then let me know 🙂
    • And what you pay for a pack of 8 bolts and nuts at Bunnings, will land me 200 of the same nuts and bolts from a fastener shop.   M12 * 1.25 IS a standard. It's not like ordering M12x1.25 and hoping the thread pitch is right. Unlike ordering an ounce, will get you 4 different amounts depending on which ounce someone takes it to be. Your issue is a supply issue.
