Rb25det Whistling Noise On Part To Mid Throttle

The other day I noticed that my RB25DET motor started making this horribly loud whistling sort of noise, which seems to come on on just a little bit of throttle (~10hg vacuum or so), and then goes away when I floor it (at about 4-7psi it stops and goes back to normal).

I checked all the vacuum hoses I could see, and tightened up a few intercooler pipes which were loose, a mate reckons that it could either be an exhaust manifold or v bend on the exhaust leaking, due to the fact that I've got a KKR 480 turbo on it, and they are prone to this?

Has anyone else had the same problem? I tried searching but the threads it came up with weren't really applicable to my dilemma.

It dosen't seem to have gotten any worse, its more just embarassing driving around in a Skyline that sounds more like an EA Falcon!

Im hanging out until I go home next week (500km away) to get this looked at as it dosen't seem to be getting any worse or affecting how the car drives, but I thought I'd ask on here in case its something mind bogglingly simple to fix!

hey

yeah i got one of these turbos on my r32 too..

mine did it at the start for a while too, but i knew i had a massive exhaust leak.. make sure all it is all tightend properly etc.

but mine still makes a slight whistling sound neways...

      Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.

      Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up

      Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️

      Looking for a part number for this part here

      Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
