+1,,its no use trying to take short cuts when modding these cars or it can end badly, male sure u make the right decision, even if it means u dnt drive ur car for a while

My turbo has a loud scream too.

Its a hiflowed 25 turbo on a RB20, Spools around 2700rpm. then at 4000rpm it hits boost real hard and squeals real bad.

18psi of boost.

No shaft play.

Will a leak in the cooler piping show up on a boost gauge? or becasue the leak is consistant it will not vary the gauge?

Using something like this, it will: http://www.cazracing.com.au/catalog/produc...products_id=101

I to have a whistling turbo that drives me crazy. noticed the whining and louder exhaust note after installing a stainless steel front pipe.when i take my foot off the accelarator it kinda sounds like theres some kind of back prssure if that makes sense. think one of the gaskets is stuffed or might even be missing a gasket. pretty sure thats wat my problem is unless any one can tell me otherwise?

ok guys, i just got my hi-flowed turbo installed, took it for a drive and its still making that noise, hypergear said it might be the gaskets any ideas, 2nd opinions? the noise is, putting my on the accelerator alittle bit it makes a tick tick tick tick, then hit boost, a high pitched sound.

Ill put a pint on an exhaust gasket. Manifold, or turbo-dump.

ya me to.

mani to turbo is the bet.

tighten up the bolts on the mani to turbo. also check the gasket, make sure it all still there. some of the gasket may have blown away.

tho looking at the above, you will have replaced the gasket when you put the turbo bak in...? same with the dump end?

boost leak? have you tested the it like this? http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=mighty.../13/atretf9u-Mc

i'd triple check for any leaks in the inlet

my squeals like a baby being used as a squeaking toy when coming onto boost, but the reasoning behind that is im using a panel filter (stuck a pod on it to test and it stopped) so possibly restriction from the filter onwards?

    • Agree with Rob. I recently did mine and replacing with a brand new unit made the most sense compared with rebuilding my existing gearbox.
    • Are you suggesting that the kit did a cheap and nasty job of just jamming the wheel in between other things and caused the misalignment? I mean, we normally do this with an integrated crank trigger wheel, not something bodged on. It's not 1995 any more.
    • I mean, given the number of BMWs you own their tolerance for improper torque is rather low. The number of torque + angle spec bolts and non-reusable bolts in one is nuts.
    • Atmospheric vent requires something that doesn't use a MAF for load. You would need a standalone ECU for that.
    • Hey all,   I’ve got an RB25 with a trigger kit that includes a crank wheel, and I’ve hit a wall trying to sort a timing belt tracking issue. The belt either rides right on the edge of the cam/crank pulleys or walks slightly forward once the engine starts. It tracks okay-ish for a moment, then creeps right to the edge—and honestly, it’s stressing me out.   I’ve spent hours removing and reinstalling the belt, double-checking everything:   Tensioner setup is good, checked multiple times Idler pulley and washers are all in the correct places Followed the RB25 timing procedure step-by-step     The only thing I changed was the rear crank washer—I swapped the OEM one for a Neato version, and it made things worse. The belt now sits even more forward than before. I’m beginning to think the crank trigger wheel itself (from the trigger kit) is the issue—poor design or slightly off dimensions.   What’s strange is that with the previous belt setup, it actually ran fine for a couple of years—around 4,000 to 5,000 miles, even with hard driving and high RPMs. But even then, the belt was always riding right on the edge, and I know that’s not ideal or safe long term.   At this point, I’m debating whether to:   Machine a few mm off the crank trigger wheel to bring it back in line, or Replace it entirely with a better-designed unit     Only thing is, I already have the Cherry Hall sensors, bracket, etc.—I just want to replace the wheel only, not the entire kit. Anyone know a brand or supplier that sells just the crank trigger wheel on its own?   Would really appreciate any feedback—especially from anyone who’s run into this exact issue and found a reliable fix.   Thanks in advance.
