Strange *bawwwp* Sound Under Boost

Hey guys,

I'm getting this really weird *bauuuuwwpp* like sound in first and second gears when under boost and wide open throttle, it's pretty damn loud it over rides the sound of the induction and engine noise.. It tends to get quieter if I keep driving hard.. What could it be? At first I thought it sounded very electronic more than a whistle of any sort!

Car is R33 GTS-T, Current Mods: FMIC, POD, 7lbs boost using grounded solenoid.

I notice I don't get the noise at all if I leave the boost at 4lbs (just leaving the solenoid circuit open)

I'm thinking boost leak, but it's not consistent through the gears and boost levels.. =/ Car seems to drive okay.

Belts maybe?

you have a leak, any i reckon that leak is coming from either a your exhaust manifold, or flange gasket on the turbo has failed forgot the exact name. that noise is caused by either snapped exhaust studs which is common or the bolts that hold your turbo to the manifold have come loose causing the gasket to fail.

now if its not that you have a leak somewhere between your turbo and intake.

is it a deep noise or a high pitch squeal like a belt slipping?

maybe it is your engine moving on the mounts due to the sudden twist when acclerating and it's cracked the exhaust or the exhaust is a bit loost and the noise is exhaust noise and as things get hotter the metal expands and closes the gap a bit

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
