When i am on full boost ( i guess_) i get a louder noise now. kinda like a split cooler hose or similar..

where is the stock cooler and all that located?

The stock cooler is a front mount and the hoses are all plastic or rubber, check them but there's a chance its the exhaust manifold leaking. Can you get a recording of the noise?

going to be hard to hear. but it kind of sounds like a car tyre going down at full noise or up there with boost pressure.. down low you cant really hear anything other than the induction

After not using the car for a few days, and then finally getting around to driving it yesterday it was very slow, hissing more.

i popped the bonnet today finally.. and it was only the inlet hose near the water bottle. glad i didnt have to pull much off!

Nar all good, it was just the clamp and whoever took it off before didnt put it back on correctly.

clamp was too close to the end and eventually slid down further.

i haves boost again! Thanks for the offer anyway :down: i wouldnt know where to find one in a hurry

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
