probably a belt slipping or something is vibrating because its not tight enough. does it happen when you free rev it?or only while youre moving?

if you can get someone to rev the car, you might get a better indication of where its coming from. i rekon exhaust or something simple like that. airbox, anything thats connected to the engine thats come loose slightly.

yup, something is loose, sounds like a harmonic resonance thats causing something to vibrate

is it metallic sounding?? might be a blown gasket too, but unlikely

hm.. not quite metailc but it sounds like sumthing rubbing against the chassis or sumthing at high speed

u can feel the vibration inside the cabin too

lol already did all that

yeah feel the vibration inside and hear it

and also the noise is there from outside too

checked all belts cuz of that i spend 1.3K on a full service staright after i got my car

but the noise was still there

im ruling out diff problems too cuz i changed the syncro and all that setting around and the noise was still there

it's gota be sumthing mechanical

I know that sound.

It started after my turbo was done, but only sometimes and under full boost (yep around 4k).

If I take my foot off the accelerator, the noise disappears. Then it says gone when I put my foot back down.

My mates RS is starting to do it (so he says, I haven't heard it).

It is not possible to replicate as it happens to me us at random times.

No Danny, I do not know what it is!

Thought it might be an oil supply prob to the turbo, nothing to do with belts

I am getting the same sound, and have done since i got the car about 2 months ago. hasn't gotten any worse tho, and doesn't happen alll the time. You're right about the rev thing - it happens to me at about 3 grand, only while pulling through torque at higher gears. if the auto kicks back, or I use manual mode, then it doesn't happen. feels like about 3rd or 4th gear. It's really hard to say the sound is consistant tho, I think it doesn't really happen all the time.

only under load

and no it doesnt get louder on speed

it's not constant..

only at 3-4K rpm only half thorttle then when i full throttle it it goes away

Sounds like Turbo time!!!....sounds sort of like a slipping clutch or a rattling sound?.....only under load? Is it there all the time? Does it do it under full throttle?

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
