hi, i am newbie here -- thanks for all the info posted. just bought a 2001 ar-x with 160k, mint condition but the turbo is whistling.

what r the best options.

how much to replace with a good aftermarket jobbie?

and with 160k on the clock is it silly to go for something with more power?

any recs for a good turbo?

can anybody in auckland recommend a good shop? also there are some suspension awd drive issues... if anybody in auck could txt me on 027 202 1996 i would appreciate it.

You may find the whistling is normal, best to find someone else with an M35 in NZ and let them hear it, it may just well be the normal noise that the turbo makes while operating.

Best options if you have a look at the turbo thread we started not long ago (it's got some good information in there) is to high-flow the existing Garrett that is on the car. The turbo is located in such a tight hot space under the bottom of the engine that not much else will fit or function there.

Jetwreck has just high-flowed his in the last few months and from memory he is now over the 100 000k mark. Just depends if the car has been looked after and you think you are going to get a few years more use out of it a high-flow would be ideal :yes:

      Like loud exhausts? You could be a psychopath.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Actually, it is probably pretty legit. I mean, it's still woke feminazi bullshit academia, but you would have to agree that it is very likely that there would be a correlation between wanting a loud exhaust and scoring at the unpleasant end of the scales for dark triad personality traits. The fact that they found it didn't correlate with narcissism and only with psychopathy and sadism definitely shows that the loud exhaust thing is more of a "f**k you" than a "look at me", and I reckon that rings pretty close to most of the dickheads who take it to the extreme. Remember, this is correlation with tendency to be closer to one end of a personality trait scale than the other end. Of course someone who is at the literal opposite end of the psychopathy scale is going to be so considerate of others that they wouldn't even think about wanting to upset anyone with a loud exhaust. So the finding isn't that "you are a psychopath". Just that you score more towards that end of the scale than someone who doesn't like loud exhausts (on average, not necessarily even for specific individuals).

      Blue Smoke from exhaust, RB25DE+T

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Stock R33 boost control, with the exhaust, and FMIC done, will boost creep. There is no tuning around it if it is the factory boost solenoid.   If it has an aftermarket electronic boost controller, the settings/mapping can be altered in it.   Oil could be anything as mentioned, however did it ever do it before you did the turbo swap? How much and how often did you drive the car before the swap?   I'm hinging on too much oil supply, or it's not draining properly.   To check, pull the air outlet off the turbo. Is it full of oil? Drop the exhaust at the turbo, does it appears to be oiled/coked? Now pull turbo and check the exhaust manifold, does it appears oiled and coked the same way?   Secondly, the PCV could even be stuffed / not functioning properly and will cause blowing of blue smoke.

      No "could" about it.
