just installed a r33 turbo on my rb20det and there seems to be a whizzing sound on low spool.......

the turbo has no shaft play and spins freely without a sound out of the car....

there is no smoke or anything of that sort....

any1 have an idea of why it would be whizzing when spooling up???

im kinda scared to drive it...a mate told me that it may not be getting oil....although my last turbo was fine and didnt whizz...and got oil just fine...all i did was place the new turbo in my old turbo's existing place....PLZ HELP!!!

does your r33 turbo on ur rb20det make a whizzing sound???

If you have a MASSIVE screwdriver, put it onto the center of the turbo and put your ear on it. You will be able to hear the bearings inside. If they seem to be spinning fine then its probably nothing. However if you can hear somethings wrong with the bearings then yeah its not getting oil or one of the blades is off balance.

ive got a r33 turboon my rb20, and yeah had a high flowed r32 turb before, a mate also has a r33 turbo on a rb20 but the r33 turbo's in general seem to make alot of noise when spooling up.. its got a big whistling/whizzing noise as it spools up..

Dont worry about it,

If your worried and can be bothered, then take it to the mechanic and get him to check it out, but i highly doubt there's anything wrong with it.. my mechanic said all r33 stock turbos seem to have a real whistle to them.

:D

Thanks

If you have a small leak at the connection to the intercooler piping, you will can a rustling leaves type sound. Also if the dump pipe has not been connected properly.

I had my turbo spool to 12psi once in my r33, and it did sound a hell of a lot different to the 7psi spool up (obviously).

What boost you running?

wow thanks for the reply fella'z....its got the 10psi actuator and yeh the whizzing is always der on low spool and once it spools up it goes away and is quite a loud noticable spool....

although i gotta admit its definately an upgrade and very noticably gains throughout the higher rpm's.....drifting is much nicer now....and quick shifting to second leaves your wheels spinning....

its a funky sound the whizz...and quite sensitive to spool up...i checked all connections and there all tight with no leaks.....

ive inspected it very closely and seems ok...drives fine...im going to get my safc tuned and up the boost to 14.5 psi and see how it goes...wish me luck!\

I WILL KEEP EVERY1 UPDATED...IF ANY1 HAS AN IDEA ABOUT MY WHIZZING PLEASE POST...YOUV'E ALL BEEN GREAT HELP!

sorry to sound like a total noob but i thought stock R33 GTST turbos can only be pushed to 12-13psi max???

i may be wrong

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
