hey guys

so i blew my turbo on my r33 at the start of last year and got it replaced with a stock r34 turbo and its been running fine ever since..

but now just after this weekend, wenever i accelerate and hit boost almost everytime i get this really really loud siren noise coming from my turbo.. and its not just a little whine or anything either.. its a massively loud siren like noise like ambo/police siren.. and people stared at me wen i was driving to work this morning thinking ive got some siren sound im playing on purpose or something.. lol

anyways i have no idea wtf is going on but my guess is ive probably f**ked my turbo again.. :(

oh and my cars pretty stock.. running stock psi.. no fmic etc..

any help appreciated

thanks

jenna

I just blew my (stock) turbo (on stock boost) casually driving home at normals revs and speed. I limped it to my mechanic, and when the heard the "whizzing" noise mine made when I revved it, he instantly said the turbo is dead.

Hope you have some savings!

thanksss for the replies :D

so i got it towed and its going into the mechanics later this week.. doubt its completely dead but it may be on its way out.. anyway good chance to upgrade which i was planning on doing soon.. hopefully something can bolt straight on.. hmmm about that.. anyone know what turbo does? does a t28?

My friend had this (siren noise) happen to his R33 Series 2 turbo. We're pretty sure that it was a bent shaft at the compressor end and the Nylon comp wheel hitting the housing.

Time for another turbo :P

I think the fins are chipped or cracked in your turbo... if this goes, you have no choice but to replace it... damn, a mate had a similiar problem... it's more like a high pitch tone then anything else.

I got the same sound when i installed my 2535 a year ago...siren sound was loud as!! i checked and rechecked everything on the intake side of the engine and all was good...funnily enough...the sound went away when i got a resonator welded onto the exhaust...this was done for a differenct reason but it stopped the wailing...so for me it was probably some sort of resonance through the pipes...and it wasn't the turbo dying...its run 1.2-1.3 bar for a year since then and its still ok...

Take what you will from my experience...i'm not saying its definitely the cause but it was for me...

Had this happen to me, a bit of the exhaust wheel chipped/came off and unbalanced the shaft, so was the lovely sound of the bearings eating themselves :P, i didnt want to accerlerate anywhere, so embarassing. Lucky i had already bought a GCG R34 highflow for $2k off the SAU forums :D, it even came with braided lines plus all the other bits.

cheers

Ive had the siren sound for a year now on a hks turbo.... had it rebuilt twice cos i though it was broke but its still there.... it went away briefly with a new higher HP tuned eprom (the turbo induction sound went really quiet and the siren sound dissapeared but the car went way harder)

then the siren came back after i did an engine swap (done to fix engine oil leaks) which also brought ping ping caused by timing issues at higher boost....

EMS now installed and getting tuned on wed so if the siren goes away im gonna put it down to engine specific timing setup in conjuction with afr's somehow.

I wouldnt worry unless there is shaft play or blades touching the housing......

the siren sound is much different to the grinding sound of blade on housing

Limpus: some of the 25 series HKS turbos like to make funny siren noises, its jus the way they spool.

Spunky monkey: I've had the mosquito whine from a turbo but i've also had this full on siren noise. It has to be heard to be believed....very freaky stuff haha.

Yeah...i put it down to some weird resonance through the pipes or something like that as it only happened after i put in the original HKS dump pipe...then at a later date i get a resonator welded onto the catback and then the noise went away...

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
