just installed a r33 turbo on my rb20det and there seems to be a whizzing sound on low spool.......

the turbo has no shaft play and spins freely without a sound out of the car....

there is no smoke or anything of that sort....

any1 have an idea of why it would be whizzing when spooling up???

im kinda scared to drive it...a mate told me that it may not be getting oil....although my last turbo was fine and didnt whizz...and got oil just fine...all i did was place the new turbo in my old turbo's existing place....PLZ HELP!!!

does your r33 turbo on ur rb20det make a whizzing sound???

If you have a MASSIVE screwdriver, put it onto the center of the turbo and put your ear on it. You will be able to hear the bearings inside. If they seem to be spinning fine then its probably nothing. However if you can hear somethings wrong with the bearings then yeah its not getting oil or one of the blades is off balance.

ive got a r33 turboon my rb20, and yeah had a high flowed r32 turb before, a mate also has a r33 turbo on a rb20 but the r33 turbo's in general seem to make alot of noise when spooling up.. its got a big whistling/whizzing noise as it spools up..

Dont worry about it,

If your worried and can be bothered, then take it to the mechanic and get him to check it out, but i highly doubt there's anything wrong with it.. my mechanic said all r33 stock turbos seem to have a real whistle to them.

:D

Thanks

If you have a small leak at the connection to the intercooler piping, you will can a rustling leaves type sound. Also if the dump pipe has not been connected properly.

I had my turbo spool to 12psi once in my r33, and it did sound a hell of a lot different to the 7psi spool up (obviously).

What boost you running?

wow thanks for the reply fella'z....its got the 10psi actuator and yeh the whizzing is always der on low spool and once it spools up it goes away and is quite a loud noticable spool....

although i gotta admit its definately an upgrade and very noticably gains throughout the higher rpm's.....drifting is much nicer now....and quick shifting to second leaves your wheels spinning....

its a funky sound the whizz...and quite sensitive to spool up...i checked all connections and there all tight with no leaks.....

ive inspected it very closely and seems ok...drives fine...im going to get my safc tuned and up the boost to 14.5 psi and see how it goes...wish me luck!\

I WILL KEEP EVERY1 UPDATED...IF ANY1 HAS AN IDEA ABOUT MY WHIZZING PLEASE POST...YOUV'E ALL BEEN GREAT HELP!

sorry to sound like a total noob but i thought stock R33 GTST turbos can only be pushed to 12-13psi max???

i may be wrong

      49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.

      Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf

      Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.

      Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.

      Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
