Hey guys,

just recently purchased a 2001 V35 250GT sedan with around 70k on it Automatic Trans.

The car recently started making a high pitched whirling noise and if Ipop the hood on start up it sounds like a giant fan!

If I rev the engine the fan noise and the high pitched whirling noise gets louder, it's quite loud I can just hear it from inside the car with all the windows up.

Help guys!

check belts ! as they might need changing or might be rubing on something. i had a stick that managed to get in and was making weird sounds when touching the belts

Thanks man I checked them and it seems fine, if I pop the hood and just stand in front of the engine the fan wilkl literally start moving my hair, it's very noisy and very loud! Is that normal?

get a hose and spray the passenger belt and listen if the noise goes away.. If it goes away your passenger belt is slipping replace it or retention.

Im betting its the passenger side belt.

The factory belt size imo is to loose on the passenger side to get a decent tension on it.... some belt brands seem better than others aswell. Find the factory belt size and get the next size down. Should be a 4pk925 or something like that for the sedan.

+1 for belts, mine would make a squealy noise on and off during the winter for the first 10 minutes or so, not always on cold days either. Replaced all the belts and the problem immediately went away. It wasn't too big a cost, a good mechanic who knows V35's should be able to do it in an hour.

      Finally replaced the previous temporary mesh indicator surrounds (temporary was the last 10+ years 😂) with a 3D printed GTR style version for the front indicators. I think it looks a lot nicer than the old setup and at least the indicators now point in the correct direction rather than angled off. Needed a little bit of tweaking to deal with the intercooler piping but got there in the end. Old and new photos below.

      It's weird to me that you say this because I'm pretty sure locals with relatively standard standalone tunes (boost/barometric compensated alpha-N) still have driveability issues when they pop intercooler hoses. Maybe with enough data I can just train some kind of model that spits out an expected grams/cyl given every sensor input except MAF like what FCA did with their Pentastar 3.6 ECU logic. Basically stock everything. The main motivation honestly is to have a sensor that can be a decent baseline source of truth. In scenarios you're describing obviously it won't work every time but it seems to me the number of corner cases that exist in MAF load is maybe not as severe and difficult to manage vs ITB alpha-N with some MAP/barometric compensation.

      What are your plans for your blow off valves? Purely plumb back? How soft will the spring in them be? AFM can be tricky to get super smooth and nice, especially depending on the rest of the system, and then can be very easily upset if something slightly changes. IE, even if you run recirc blow off valves, you could still see issues getting it to behave at certain load points as turbos might start to spool, but you release the throttle but it's not enough pressure to crack the bov open to recirc, and you can end up with reversion which can cause double metering, and hence dumping of fuel into the system, and stalling the engine.   If you're going to run a map sensor for closed loop boost control from the ECU, what makes you want to keep the AFM?

      It's not bad, it's just not flexible. And say if you have any leaks between the MAF and plenum, well then your load axis goes out the window. Here's a real world scenario, I blew off an intercooler hose last track day, as the clamp decided to Bluetooth itself somewhere. Still continued to do 2 laps and drive it to the pub for a couple of beers then home. Good luck doing that with a MAF setup

      Is MAF load really that bad? I'm not trying to do big power, my only real desire is VCAM and flex fuel support so I'm not terrified of blowing my engine apart from CA's appalling 95 RON "premium" fuel. Stuff like playing with closed loop boost control and really dialing in my transient fueling and ignition are frankly just to prove to myself I remembered something from uni.
