hey guys, was at a mates house today and decided to put in a manual boost controller, went for a drive, put my foot into it just a little, it spiked... so i pulled over, wound it down... got back in the car, cruised for about 2 minutes then got onto a straight bit of road and gave it another squirt... it almost choked up, coughing and spluttering and so on, took my foot off... when i went to put my foot down again, i hear a noise like a siren, i look around only to find the sound is coming from my car... so now i cant make boost, no matter how hard my foot is on the accelerator, it sounds like its coming from the inside the pod filter... so i go back to my mates house and pull it apart, all the way down to the turbo blades, checked it and nothing caught in there or any of the piping, put it all together again but still making the noise... i took the boost controller off but still it makes the same noise...

SO... was just wondering if any of you guys have ever had this issue or know what it is at all... just lost my job two days ago so cant really afford to go and get another one... any help would be greatly appreciated...

Cheers

Guy

maybe, was a bit dark to finish the elimination process... so tomorrow morning ill check piping and all... spoke to hyperdrive and they reckon might be a leak on the manifold or exhaust somewhere... not sure, but the noise is really loud, like almost copper siren loud... just odd!

Be careful. If its the bearing then the turbo will be spinning out of alignment. Hence the fins are spinning into the housing. Slowly feeding ur engine small metal filings. Did the boost gauge move to like 10psi? or nothing? Blow IC piping = no + boost

yeah it did before it stopped... now it just sits on 0... wont go past it

If it was blown turbo, wouldnt there be smoke?

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
