Knocking Sound

any input here would be much appreciated. i've done some searching and can't find any real answers to this. once or twice a year, i get a knocking noise coming from somewhere in my engine bay. i think it's coming from the passenger side somewhere. the sound comes up really badly at the start, it sounds like a hollow knock, like if you were to knock the engine with your knuckles. it goes in time with the revs and sounds absolutely terrible. thing is that if you take it for a bit of a drive . . . taking it easy on the revs and change gear really early, it seems to stay under control . . . to a point. then is gets better and maybe the next day or the day after it's gone all together.

this has happened once or twice a year since i got the car 5 years ago. it's a r33 gts s1. the first time it happend it was after i'd parked on a bit of a hill overnight, but the last few times that hasn't been the case. the last time i'd been mucking around around in the fusebox and hadn't started the car for only about a day. there doesn't seem to be any common factors that cause the noise.

any ideas?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.

      Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.

      You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever

      Thanks for the quick reply. To be clear, when you say turbo shuffle do you mean turbo flutter "stustustu" or referring to something else? I had thought they were the same thing. When I wrote the post my intention was to say it wasn't a flutter/compression surge sound. My understanding was that a flutter sound would be occurring when throttle is released, whereas I can keep the throttle in the same position for this noise
