My 32 has a loud high pitch scream comming from, well I thought the turbo, orig, I thought it was the belts, factory ones were cracked and hard, changed belts to bosch items, but noise continued, it at first only happened under big loads at 4500rpm foot flat but now screams at lighter loads 3800rpm 2/3 throttle about 5psi, I can still get full boost with hardly any throttle without it, it is definately boost related. A friend however today told me that it could also a split in a plumbing joint, has any one ever heard of this happening before?

If it was the turbo but, and i am still getting boost what would it be bearings? I just read a fast fours mag artticle about the bbearing r33 turbo and they recon the bearing unit is pretty good, Quote "should out live the engine". I don't have a turbo timer yet but always give it 3-5 minutes on cool down after a flogging.

Yes, had my boost guage reading from the plenum, mabye should have set it up on the wastegate actuater pipeing as i think their is pressure drop through all the intercooler plumbing and the actual boost at th turbo's outlet would have been more like 15psi which is apparently too much. Also the cheap style boost control valve i'm ussing can give boost spikes to 15.5psi my guage.

Mine is due to a japanese man filing the front tip of the turbine...

Aparentlly they do this for rice factor. The air rushing past causes a very high pitched turbo squell.... I have had mine now for 12 months running 10psi and have had no turbo trouble and many have said it will let go soon.

I will drive it til it dies... Or i win lotto

It was the turbo, Just went out for milk and came home with no boost, recon my cat is full of ceramic exhaust turbine blades, Just for reference was running 14 psi at the plenum apparently to much, still lasted for 3months. Time for something bigger.

r u getting a new turbo? or r u just going to get a steel wheel for the exhaust side and get it repaired?

did u have the car when it was on stock boost? or did u buy like that? and if u boosted it, then was the car running well on stock boost, cos i'm planning on leaving mine on stock boost for a while, until i either change the wheel or the turbos for something quicker, also when u fix it can u post up how the engine runs, cos another post here says that shit can get into the engine and kill it.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
