hey guys..... there is this dam noise that has only started about a day or so ago... i was driving home at night... and noticed that the car when it hits full boost (1 bar) a wistling, screeching kind of noise is comin from the turbo area... it is most noticable when u boot it in 2nd...and gets less and less as the gears go by... i checked for leaks and so forth.... and had a look in the front of the turbine to see if the props are all tight and everything seems fine... its a really weird noise... and i am sure its either the turbo or the external gate.... but stumped/... its a r33 with a t04e garret turbo high mounted..with all the bolt on mods.... any help would be appreciated... but this sound has me sketching!!!!!... thanks guys

anyone with n e ideas what so ever.... ??... all bolts are tight...external astegate is tightened up and all... the only thing that looks wrong is an oil leak from the side of the engine (its tiny tiny tiny) and i dont think that would have n e thin to do weith it.... cause its been there for alot longer than the noise...

sounds like its an air leak. could be gaskets. Also try checking all the silicon hose joiners are tight. u say the exhaust gasket has been recently replaced, the mechanic could have been lazy and not tightened everything up

      Oof, I will forevermore have those shredded gears in mind whenever someone talks about showing mechanical sympathy towards their car. Thanks for the photos, fascinating stuff!

      The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...

      Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.

      I don't believe I posted pictures of the second oil pump pickup I added so here they are. Data shows it gets oil pressure up to the relief pressure much earlier in the RPM. Is that important? Not likely... This was just another attempt to fix the bearing issues.   I also heavily opened up the inlet to the pump since it now had to flow oil from two pickups. I believe the diameter increased about 1/8".
