Hi Guys..

Just curious.. i'm gettin this wierd noise during startup when it's cold.. it sounds like the turbo is hitting some sorta leaf.. and making that wierd sound.. as it gets warmed up the sounds lessens n lessens but it's still there. Very noticable on cold start. Also sounds like an exhaust is coming out form the front. Just wondering if it's a turbo problem or a leak somewhere in there??

What do u guys reckon?

Thanks

Ces

Haven't checked my gasket.. an Update though.. i rerranged my catch can setup.. n white smoke started coming out of the exhaust.. i let it run 4 a while n i'm hearing gurgling or boiling sound inside the intake pipe off the turbo.

I switched back the way the old Oil catch can was setup before and the white smoke is lessened but i'm still hearing gurgling & boiling sound...

Stock 13 to 13.5 Psi...

U really think it'sthe Turbo??? i thought it might just a turbo gasket leak.. i don't think it has done any damage to the engine.. cuz i haven't driven the car.. all i did was rerranged the setup and it's been park there the whole time..

what about the exhaust leak.. manifold gasket?? or Turbo seal.. it's white smoke not black smoke.

I get the cold whistling problem in my car. Mine is caused by someone snapping a exhaust manifold stud off causing a leak through the gasket, when the engine is hot the metal expands closing the gap... I don't have time or money to take off the manifold and drill out the stud.

No a Kettle/boiling sounds is coming from the Pod like someting is cooking haha.. dunno if it's water or Oil??

take your noodles out of there! lol nah idk whats going on mate sorry i got u worried with the turbo but good luck with trying to find whats going wrong

Ok Kettling/Boiling sound is gone.. there is a leak between turbo n dump pipe. I can still see white smoke. On startup it's not evident but as it gets warmed it blows white smoke.. i think it might b the Valve seals??? What u reckon?

Ok update.. on Cold Start up. .no White smoke.. then after it's warmed up.. i took it 4 a cruise n upon hitting boost a lot of white smoke is coming out.. smells like oil.

I looked @ the Dipstick it's half way to what it's level it's suppose to be.. is my turbo really gone???

sounds like the turbo seal is gone and the white smoke and oil smell is most likely oil in your exuast due to that turbo seal. same thing happend to my brothers supra

My car blows a little white/whit blue smoke so i no my turbo is starting to head out the door.

But it doesnt make any weird noises....only makes a nice loud sucking noise when accelarating hard....sucks harder than a $2 hooker haha

    • 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?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
