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.

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
