Yesturday i put a boost controller into my car and am runing it on the normal psi,

its linked to a switch on the dash that i turn on and turns it to 13 psi but when ever i do it now even with normal psi it makes a very loud squeeking sound from the engine bay n i dont no what it is.

It only does it when i am driving but not when i rev it in my drive way, there is also no smell when it does it or when i have stoped

when the noise happens the car looses alot of power and runs pretty rough during hi revs

can some 1 please help

a guy told me that if could be the blow off value leaking cause the spring in it was f**ked which was understandable cause of pressure of 13 psi but i took it off and put a metal plate inplace but still does exactly the same noise and power loss

noone can tell u what the problem is without seeing the car mate...theres a few things that could be wrong...could have a boost leak..check ur cooler piping or like the first guy said it could be that ur turbo gasket is screaming cos the turbos come loose...anyone else with ideas??

When the gaskets leak, they make a high pitch noise, normally when they'er being revved under load (Accelerating up the street)

It's normally a small hole, that if on an N/A car, wouldn't make an issue, as it's easier for the gasses to flow out the exhaust pipe normally, but on a turbo car, a small pressure build up occurs between motor and turbo, hence, it forces it's way out the whole.

Could also be the boost controller is broken. Have you returned the boost controller set up back to stock to try that?

do u mean this part that could be lose? cause i have tried every bolt around there and i cant move any i have also checked every intercooler connection for holes and even spayed carbi cleaner on it at idle to see if it done anything

My brothers old turbo (on his silvia @ 15psi) made some terrible squealing noises under full boost, when he got it serviced they found that the fins on the compressor wheel had bent back and the air was not getting through properly into the housing.

It was more like someone with a external gate when it was squealing...

Hope this helps?

exhaust manifold bolts broken/loose as well as turbo gaskets are the obvious things. had same noise under boost, but i could still hear it when reving not under load. was initially an exhaust leak from the turbo dump but it came back after a while. had my exhaust manifold bolts and all gaskets replaced from that and the turbo and now the noise is gone.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
