A balloon pinch of air like its trying hard to get threw. Is the rubber hose that runs between your AFM and the turbo... This hose can pinch inward due to age and the amount of air being drawn. I replaced my rubber hose with a alloy part. As most do with turbo uogrades.

Cause when its made of metal it aint gonna pinch inward....

But this is strange at stock boost....?

could also be something as simple as a hose clip loose / broke etc ... the noise is air escaping from between the rubber pipe and the metal of the tubing ...

I had it befor on my mr2 tubby ... sounded exactly like this ..

do around and check all the clips on the piping ... if one looks or feels a little loose, tighten or replace it

LOL I kow that sound very well...

Very funny actually..

I swore that I had a leak in the pipework somewhere, it haunted me for months.. Then when it went up on the dyno for a few runs I got him to hold it at boost while I tried to find the leak.

It was frustrating cause with the bonnet up the noise would disapear, bonnet down it was there again...

Me and my mate where scratching our heads.. Then we found out what it was.

With the bonnet down the air getting sucked in through the bonnet crack then swirling into the stock airbox scoop was making the air whissle !!!

As soon as we lifted the bonnet about 4-5mm it would change the way the air was being sucked in and the noise stopped...

It had me frustrated for months and it was something so damn simple :)

LOL - it was very funny.. We just couldn't belive it.

When it was on the dyno and doing the runs I remembered that I wanted to check it out for leaks, but we couldn't find anything. Even with a sethascope (sp?) we couldn't hear any leaks.

Then I put the bonnet down to try and keep the engine noise down a bit and then the noise came back straight away. We eventually narrowed the noise down the the front right hand side of the bonnet (where the air box is) and when I got the tuner to pop the bonnet (and it popped up 5-10 mm to the latch) the noise stopped straight away.

About then is when my mate and I turned to each other and at the same time we said "oh get f^%#ed !!!"

i just popped the bonnet and went for a spin, it didnt really seem to do to much it did sound a little less noisy but i think it might be my plastic pipe to the turbo, when i was lookin at it today it also had another pip on it but its been cut and pinched shut so i might just get a new steel pipe.. its got me stuffed cos it sounds like its restrictin the boost a bit but oh well such is life

i installed a 3" front and dump pipe, and i am now running about 11psi. I have noticed a similar sound. Were can i buy the alloy replacement pipe (and how much?), coz the thought of my RB25 struggling to breath brings a tear to my eye!! :)

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By silviaz · Posted

      Ah yep. I asked a auto electrician about getting a cheap rebuilt alternator vs a new one. He also said he used to it back in the day but it ended up costing similar to what a new one would and recommended getting a new one,.

      Will I Need A Retune After Cahanging My Catalytic Converter ?

      By silviaz · Posted

      Ah, to clarify if the car has already been tuned and has been modified and you want to go from a oem cat to a 100 cell or decat or vice versa.Are you saying that the car doesn't need to be tuned after a cat change if it's already been tuned?

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      This has been covered a bazillion times but google wet boiling point vs dry. Motul is only good when it's fresh, once it absorbs moisture it gets pretty average very quickly. So as above, make sure you change it if you're going racing. I run the Endless brake fluid in mind, but only because a mate is a distributor and it's cheap. It's not quite as good as SRF but I'm running 380mm rotors on a Skyline so it's not like they get hot.

      Does 98ron contain ethanol?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      That's the thing, they still add it and it makes fuel cheaper, implying adding 10% of it drops the cost of 91 by what, 5c a liter? I remember when it was barely half the price of 98. Because you know, 85% of what is in the fuel is way cheaper than 91 fuel is by volume.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Auto electricians that do repairs on automotive AC systems can source service kits. I don't know where they actually source them. I do know that there is one available for the R34 comp that I would need it for. If you have to pay someone to dismantle, clean and do needed repairs and fit kit contents, then you'd probably end up spending a good fraction of the cost of a new one. I would not be paying for that, because I would be doing it myself. My mechanic (bro-in-law) will happily source what is needed. Back in the day (like in the 80s and 90s), rebuilding an AC compressor was the standard approach, same as for starter motors, alternators, etc, because new replacements were v. expensive. After the China manufacturing boom and the rise of the disposable approach to everything, people just started throwing broken/worn stuff away and not rebuilding things.
