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

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...

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
