hi all,

just another quick question as this one has got me stumped.

i have noticed, when i am giving the car abit, sitting up around 6k, full boost, it sounds like there is a small air leak or something aruther, or even i slight scraping noise. it is similar to the noise your hear when your window is down slightly and the air is rushing past, but not so loud. car drives fine, holds boost up high and low and there is no sight of the sound at low rpm.

has anyone had a similar problem and would be able to give me some pointers on wrer to look before i get annoyed and take it to someone to check over.

cheers drew

agree with strik3r BUT maybe just maybe, its getting high knock levels. its not quite the noise you have described but i thought i should mention it just incase. knock sounds like marbles in a milo tin getting shacked around so if thats what your hearing then go straight to a tuner without going over 3k RPM.

marbles in a tin??? more like an electrical type zapping noise..... lol u go get marbles in a tin and tell me if that sounds the same hahaha

could possibly be a very slight boost leak buddy check all ur connections intercooler piping etc....

yeah will do but i didnt thinkit would be a boost leak due to it holds boost strongly, but will certainly check my piping and what not.. and unfortubatly strik3r, im new to owning a turbo cars but i do know a few things about them and its not my induction noise, its much much quiter then that. maybe ill take it to my mechanic and get him to check the knock sensors for me to see if anything is abonormal. add it deffinatly doesnt sound like marbles in a milo tin.

cheers

what sort of intake setup do you have ? Pod or panel filter ? FMIC ? what sort of pipes are you running? all of these things contribute to the sound your intake makes.... soooo it might sound different to others you've heard.. get a mate to record a video on a phone or something if you want us to give you a better guess.

all im running is a HKS muchroom pod, with a front mount with alloy piping. its not a loud sound like the induction noise is, its only very slight and only at high revs as i said and you can only just hear it, but its just enough to get up my nose because i hate having things wrong with my cars, even though they are really mineute,

      You don’t need to use full throttle all the time to break these blocks, 500kw at the wheels in more then enough to break them even with an occasional squirt. Hell I’ve seen them break under 400kw

      A work around is to install the R35 card style AFM/MAF on the cold side of the intercooler piping and the BOV on the hot side piping. Works well, also you can combat the revs dropping by adding a bit more ignition timing on the idle ignition timing table to slow the rate of RPM drop.

      Understood. If you dont have a ridiculous limit,  Tune, T's and P's are in check, and arent bashing it all the time and doing the due deligence for maintenance(inc oil analysis) then its pretty safe. 100% agree, let your right food control it to some extent.

      So these external kits with the machined block for remote solenoid mount will only work on a NEO head and RB30 or RB26 bottom end   For an R33 head on a 26 bottom end the remote vct kit is to resolve RB26 manifold adaptor plates etc  IF you try to use the remote VCT on an RB30 or RB26 bottom end with an R33 head then  you can starve the cam journal??? I have one of these kits from bits I had years ago before plans changed  I don't understand how that tracks with this video   https://youtu.be/RuPiI22Mplk?feature=shared   This looks like I can run the v termite vct kit to feed the VCT on an R33 head on an RB26 bottom end?!?!?   Lol.... don't v have these problems on RB20s

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      Yeah i know that MAF is no no for this type of BoV. The engine has no BoV and "hose/pipes" ..it was all deleted (or probably it was not even on the engine when it was bought  ) It does that "sutututu" noise which i kinda do not want(atmospheric is better IMO...but standalone ECU)  What are the cons of running without blow off on stock RB25DET NEO. It running 5-7 PSI max (it has boost controller)   EDIT: and can Nistune be "tuned" to know there is no BoV to i dont know "know" and be better for a car? I read so many info about no BoV. One guy saying it is bad and hurting the turbo/engine/car and other that it does not...
