So i find that on boost, especially in the 5krpm+range my car screams like a mofo. Its a nice sound, but I would have thought a "stock" GTR wouldnt be that screamy! I don't think that its anything leaking because the car pulls, I also know for a fact that I have stock AR.42s.

Is this normal?....

If anyone has a 32 near Preston Melb and can let me sit in their GTR for comparison that would be great ;)

it's either air being forced through a hole somewhere in your piping after the turbo/before head, or the suction is sucking some piping closed (not sure if the second one can happen on a GTR)

I'm on 14 psi, oh the only other non stock thing is twin blitz bovs. If there's any air leak, my boost pressure would be less than expected. hmmm I'll try and find someone with the same car and listen to theirs.

Last time I hopped in a Skyline with a "screaming" turbo, the turbo was stuffed.

Just be careful mate, I'd inspect it before doing anymore driving. A Stuffed turbo can equal engine failure.

Standard stuff should not be making any sort of screaming noise. the only time I've heard somethign I would describe as screaming it was stuffed bearings in the turbo core. Next closest noise I've heard was a nasty manifold leak.

either way....they didn't leave the factory with any sort of "screaming" noise

ive been hearing a sort of high pitch whistling sound for a while also, though only when on full boost (was doing it before at 7 psi, but 10-12psi atm). me mechanics thought that maybe it was coming from the turbo itself (bearings/shaft play?), or possibly from the wastegate. ive read somewhere on here a guy had the same noise, turned out it was leaking on the turbo exhaust manifold join or something. im sort of dreading its the turbo, hope it can hold up for another 6+ months.. :)

      George's R33 GTST build

      By pogman · Posted

      Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.

      They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.

      I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)

      Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work

      You can just get the injector bosses, which allows top feeds to fit. He can use the same injectors without issue, like these (another option): https://rocketindustries.com.au/af59-2210-rb25-fuel-injector-inserts     The Racework ones look a bit better: https://www.nzefi.com/product/raceworks-lower-injector-mounting-boss-kit-for-r33-rb25det-s14-s15-sr20det/   You could also just get a similar kit like the Radium one by Plazmaman: https://plazmaman.com/product/nissan-rb25det-r33-billet-fuel-rail/?srsltid=AfmBOoogfYq49X0fu2Wdbf8yOf6zt9egyPAif_gn3Qr3G8hzAphhTgOkO70
