Hi Guys..

Just before new years a friend and I installed my fmic.. its a R34 GTR front mount..

Ever since then when the turbo spools up I get a very high pitch wistle sound..

As my friends would put it.. it sounds like a truck turbo.. Its extreamly loud!

Any Ideas on what it could be??? All the piping is clamped on pretty tight.. and im not losing any power..

I just dont want my turbo blowing..

Cheers,

Corinne

z0mg turbo?!

Umm.. whistling would suggest that perhaps it's either a gasket or one of the pipes leaking air. I'd be leaning towards gasket

Check the blow off valve as well if you're running one

Stock bov.. Havent touched any of it except fm and exhaust pipes.. which it only started when the fm went on.. Other then that my mechanic does all the engine work..

double check all the pipes and the intercooler for cracks

Sounds like a boost leak and it could even be a cracked pipe or intercooler or lose clamp or even a hole in a hose joiner.

does it sound like a vaccume cleaner thats blocked?

smoke test.....how about using the decarboniser? $20 from subaru. i had the same noise and when ever i used the that de-carbon spray thingy the smoke would come out of my exhaust manifold. broken studs and buggered gaskets. all fixed and problem solved.

oh no. you need to tighten up your turbo. the bolts are loose. and it will fall off. well not literly. but if you get it now. you can save the gasket.

DAVVEEEE DONT TELL ME THAT! *cries*

do you mean the kettle whistle noise?

mine does that, since the fmic went on

its a crappy chinese core and it just whistles away

Yesst thats what it sounds like..

But mines not a crappy chihnese core :( stock R34 gtr cooler *sigh*

how is it mounted (in terms of the front bar)

my front bar (series 2 one) was cut up a fair bit

and was a bit of a hack job install

i think the whistling may be coming from the cutting

and air passing arround the core / air ducting etc..

the easiest way to check drive along at say 50km/h

clutch in, let the idle engine

if you can hear whistling, its probably the core / front areodynamics making it whistle.

my 33 whistles quiet a lot, very audible

somewhat amusing as well

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
