hi all just wanting to pick some of your brains

i recently have just upgraded my car these are the following mods:

Hi Flow Turbo wont mention who off just yet

Gtr Fuel pump

ARC Front MOunt

3 inch dump back zorst

hks pod or a k& N

stainless twin dump pipe

power fc to go in but not in

and z32 meter

now the car was running fine before i did the hi flow stainless dump and fuel pump

but now i have put this turbo on i get a really annoying whirring noise as well as the normal induction sucking noise now i first thought boost leak but i have check and re tightened all clamps

second i thought turburlance at theh new dump but to no avail with standard on it stilll makes this noise its hard to explain what it sounds like very much like a hair dryer goin flat out really hi pitched whine?

the car makes boost fine doesnt fluctuate or any thing

i have check both compressor and exhaust wheels to see if they are touchin housings or are dammaged but nothing found

shaft play is wat you expect for a new turbo NONE

so what the hell iis this noise

because i want to get it sorted so i can take it to get pfc tuned!!!

any thoughts would be great

its not that hard to diagnose an un balanced turbo the sound is very distictive. it is a high pitched ring that is only present when your on boost and you will hear it over your induction noise. you will want to work this out fairly quickly because if this is hapening on the intake side you can cause alot of damage to your engine due to the small metal filing from the impeller wheel, if its on the exhaust side it wont do any damage to you engine but you can take you dump pipe off and shine a tourch into the exhaust housing and you should see really small metal filling in the carbon. the reason why i ask who did the hi-flow is because i know of a certain company that makes mistakes like this all the time

nah problem isnt i installed too many things cos i put every thing back to stock dump and air pod and like i know what a fuel pump sounds like and sheesh i aint that stupid

mechanical noise verses electrical noise to totally different sounds yeh well ive only done probly 150 kms max so hopefully i hasnt done any damage

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
