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...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
