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

  • 1 year later...
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.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
