Turbo is all on. Runs well - no surge.

No leaks or anything - the only thing is as soon as you shut off the car and put your head near the turbo you can hear sort of air or water moving. Can anybody else hear this. I didnt notice with the last turbo but I may not have paid that much attention.

From 4000-7000rpm is really strong. I'm only running about 9psi though. Slightly laggier but not much. Might be good for traction as it doen't seem to snap on boost quite as sharply as stock turbo. Running without a tune so really rich. Maybe with some tuning and more boost it will be good :woot:

In regards to the bubbling sound:

Did you bleed your cooling system? Are you sure you bled it properly? From the bolt on the plenum?

      Stagea boot lid probs

      By BCs300z · Posted

      I know this thread is quite old, but I found it, it helped me, but I also wanted to add my experience and troubleshooting finds to the chat for others. I have not been able to open the rear hatch of my 97 Stagea for several months. Figured it had just really sealed itself up over the winter and I would just get to it eventually. Well that day was yesterday. Some time ago, I noticed my battery was going flat all the time. It was frustrating. Then one quiet night in the garage, I could hear and ever so slight humming / grinding noise coming from the back of the car. It was like a really quiet popping sound or something like sand in a very low speed blender. I took off the panels in the back and noticed the noise coming from the auto close motor, so I unplugged it and the noise stopped. And the auto close was disabled. Well, fast forward to yesterday, I tried all the tricks with power and fuse and lock and unlock and I still could open the damn hatch. So I took off the panels from the inside and found the auto lock had engaged and was stuck in close position. When plugging and unplugging the fuse, I could hear the relay clicking. So I plugged the autoclose motor back in, and the damn thing let go. And immediately started making that grinding sound again. This time, instead of just unplugging the motor, I pulled the fuse, thus depowering the relay entirely. I don't have the autoclose feature now, but at least I can open the boot and not have my battery being sucked dead all the time. Not sure what caused the motor to latch when it was unplugged from the system, but I am pretty sure it won't cause any more problems now.  If anyone has a lead on a new motor, please let me know. It's a cool feature that I would like to get back.  Hope this helps.

      Does the r33 have a cabin filter?

      By PotatoCake · Posted

      One of the first things i do when i buy a car is to change the in cabin filter, because no one ever does. There seems to be conflicting statements on the internet, does anyone know if a 97 r33 actually has one?
