Hks 2530 Turbo Induction Noise?

Can anyone tell me if it IS normal for a HKS 2530 turbo to make spooling noises (like a whistle)?

Is this normal induction noise.

:(

Also, does a bellmouth dump pipe provoke noise at high rpm from the wastegate opening? (like a muffled screamer?) ... or would this signify a leak between the turbo and dump pipe?

I have the same turbo. With an atmo BOV no whistle. If I run a recirc, I can hear the compressor whine until the BOV closes.

Yeah, I've heard the faint 'whistle' is normal for HKS turbos ... just needed reassuring ... someone else says 'no'.

My BOV is recirc back into intake.

I'm guessing the higher pitched noise is either the wastegate opening to release ex gases into my bellmouth dump pipe ... or its a loose nut (or gasket) around the turbo-to-dump or turbo-to-manifold.

I've got a 2530 on my R33 GTST and it whistles too. I too wasn't sure if this is right. It has been checked and no vacuum leaks could be found. Mine starts to whistle at about -0.8 Bar and then it becomes harder to hear after about 0.5 Bar or somewhere there. I'd be interested to hear some other peoples experiences. I've got the standard plumb back BOV, standard air filter and HKS dump.

What boost are you rinning?

- intake piping... rubber or metal

- Pods... filter type, metal frame, plastic frame and so on

The causes of the most obvious "Turbo whistle" noise that HKS turbos are often recognized by is anti-surge compressor covers - HKS GT-RS, GT2835, GT3037, T51Rs and T62Rs all have it though I wasn't aware of anything smaller having that kind of housing though I guess they could have done it with the GT2530s etc just to be special :)

depends on the noise it makes. The Shinnning noise is normal, If its making a Zzzz... zz... noise, very noticeable when you switch off the car then it means bearing cartridge needs to be checked.

Iv'e noticed a whistle with my HKS 2530 to be more pronnounced after changing to plumb back, its like the turbo spools up to a certain speed at like -0.08bar then as it comes onto boost gets harder to hear and goes away as soon as its on 0.5bar + my 32 is tuned to run around 16psi but the whistle noise im more aware of now since the change from full atmo to plumb back.... does it have to do with the way the air circulates around the intake pipe?

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      If you want to do a single throttle body conversion easily, you won't need to pull anything apart. Take the linkage from your throttle off the linkage controlling the ITBs. Now open the ITBs wide open, and lock the linkages in said position. Now add a single throttle body onto the front of your inlet plenum. No it's not ideal for the last nth of a kw, but it'll be a lot better than what you're already trying to do...   PS, ITBs can be so damn hard to tune from, because roughly 20% movement in a throttle body equates to a change in roughly 80% of its flow (Hence power). When you add up the flow limitations of those small throttle bodys, it is a LOT higher than that of a single large throttle. Hence, TPS is very very sensitive with them, and you do a LOT of work with sensor fusion, and some Maths behind the scenes to make those blends nice, and be smooth.

      Yep, when Haltech purchased Adaptronic, and all of the Adaptronic staff, including Andy went with it, it took Haltech to the next level. Haltech wanted Adaptronic as they wanted things like Andy's fuel models, and some other IP, AND they wanted Andy too as he is brilliant! Andy has spoken about the incompatibilities between the old 1500 stuff vs Nexxus, and it totally makes sense. It's not JUST software that is different, there is huge changes in the underlying hardware too. It's why Haltech has had soooo many changes in the last couple of years, in terms of Hardware, and Software, and why it has become so damn Amazing. Why do you think guys like Rob Dahm with his quad rotor, went from running Adaptronic's to running Haltechs? Andy. Pretty much, Haltech these days, is Adaptronic, but with more funds behind it, and more staff, and hence Andy's visions, and visions of other people that he helps shape their great visions, into amazing new products. All the new Nexxus gear, whole new software for it, new and better dashboards, the apps that will run on headunits and NOT be slow to respond! I understand people being burnt in the past, but if you're ragging on a company, about products and issues from many years ago, it's more a reflection on yourself, not looking or keeping up with new stuff. In which case, those people should be going back to PowerFC and Nistunes as the ECU's to rave on about...

      Right, but I thought the problem has been for a while now that even if you know manifold pressure + throttle position you still have non-linearity and aliasing issues vs actual engine load? One way I can see things simplifying is going DBW, then all air going into the engine is represented by the throttle position. As opposed to a random bimetallic strip vaguely linked to engine temperature opening and closing a shutter or some random power steering air valve suddenly allowing a bunch of bypass air. But the same throttle position/RPM at ~atmospheric MAP in different gears is not guaranteed to be same engine load? Honestly, ITBs are of such dubious value IMO. I don't know why these things are hyped up so much. The main benefit as far as I can tell is you reduce the likelihood of cross-cylinder EGR scavenging with significant cam overlap at idle. I would absolutely run speed density and be done with it if not for this fairly esoteric control problem.

      Alarm/immobiliser recomendations for an R33

      Hah dont worry, my adult brain has this conversation every single day. Dont waste your money, invest more of it into shares, pay down the mortgage. Then the bedtime insta doom scrolling begins and after being bombarded with gtr's my mind is set: im definitely getting one! I have the current model mx5 as the weekender, but i just miss my boost and literally like your username, the sututu's that come with it. I remember with my 2nd supra, as it had twins and vvti, they used to spool real early, like 1,500rpm so you could just be a spooly boy all day long. Some people say they get over it after a while, not me tho.

      If you need to refinance your mortgage and reset the loan terms back to 30 years and cash out on your equity for "investment" purposes *cough* car parts, I can help 😊
