hey guys

hopefully someone can help me out

was driving home just now and it was raining

put my foot down a bit and hit the limiter in second and when i changed to third and tried to keep driving at a normal pace

i hear a high pitched whistling noise and i cant make the car rev over 2000 rpm in any gear

i was thinking that i had blown off a pipe somewhere but when i got it home into the shed there are no pipes coming off

and when i rev it i can hear the high pitched noise coming from the pod filter

but on idle the car sounds normal, no metal sounds to indicate a turbine wheel etc

and theres no black smoke when i rev it

any one have an idea?

cheers

all the cooler pipes are on and theres no leaks

sadly it is the turbo :laugh:

had a look today

the intake wheels bearing is stuffed

the turbo still spins but doesnt make much pressure

i took the cooler pipe off just before the cross over pipe and can feel it blowing air through and can hear the sound from the turbo echoing up the pipe

the car will rev if its in neutral but wont move properly when under load

looks like its new turbo time

anyone have a turbo i can buy?

need a direct swap for the stock rb25 turbo

I've got a stock rb25 turbo off a series 2 33 I've just taken off. Assume it's in good condition, ran fine while it was on but i've got no idea how to check. Let me know if you're interested.

hey there, mate i think i got the same problem, ive just change my spark plugs to bcp6res ones and now when i put my foot down slowly... i can hear a wierd strange high pitched whissle, could it also be the blow of valve?

my r34 has the same high pitched sound at the moment sounds like it from the vicinity of the turbo mine still makes boost thou 10psi but it screaming, screech sound is terrible......i thought it mite be a boost leak but i aint found it......

i have been told it might be an exhaust manifold leak may need a gasket?? hopefully turbo not on its way like the thread starters car........ i dont really have the patience to pull the thing apart.... time to take it to a workshop.....the joy of turbo cars ! hehe

Damn mine blew about 2 weeks ago but it's all up and running again. They must all be throwing the towel in these days.

It's not that hard to change the turbo if you get another standard one. Could do it in an afternoon. With that said a workshop probably wouldn't charge that much if it only took an afternoon so.. Just do it yaself and learn lots along the way;)

Grab a hold of the shaft and try and pull and push it and see if there's any movement that way or side to side or anything. Also check how freely it spins and if there's any bearing noises or vibrations as it turns:)

Its probably this crap fuel they are all slowly fazing in without us knowing. All upping the ethanol levels or something...

wtf does that have to do with turbos dying?

My 25 turbo is still going strong, it spent about a year at 12psi on an RB20 and nearly another year on an RB30!

Just something on the bcp6es plugs... i had the iridium version of these in my car originally... then changed to the $4 BKR6E plugs with a smaller gap and it ran so much better. I always use these plugs now and i recommend these to anyone that brings an rb25 into my work.

rgr34 a whistling noise is usually a vacuum leak... doesn't necessarily affect idle too much but when you get up it it will be easily noticeable. Does it struggle to make that 10psi now? I'd be checking everything carefully and making sure it's all legit.

If you've got a leak between the turbo and manifold you should be able to hear air blowing out of it or heaps louder exhaust noise from the engine bay. Good luck!

the noise i have is like a supercharger, a winning noise... its really wierd...

I had a FMIC and EBC installed, and boost upped to only 9 psi. Since then I've had a similar sound, when i hit full boost i can hear a metalic whining sound, similar to a supercharger sound. Not sure if the turbo is bad or if its just the sound resonating through the new cooler.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
