After driving up to Bathurst over Easter weekend with a friend he was concerned about the whistle/induction noise.. i told him its fine and most/all do it?

is this correct? does everyone who owns a m35 make this noise??

he has since spoken to a reputable jap wrecker (who works with his race car) who has told him its a very very common problem with the m35 having the induction pipe cracked? (i think he said induction) thus creating this noise? could this also be the problem to the fuel issues too?

it is the turbo as it gets older. It gets louder the older (more worn out) the turbo is.

It only makes this noise under positive boost.

Haven't really hear of any induction pipes cracking and I suppose that the bit he is referring to is the narrow cast pipe that goes from the elbow to the turbo.

Shouldn't be a problem there.

A split in the rubber or a split intercooler pipe would be more plausible, especially on the outlet pipe of the intercooler (gets quite brittle).

M35's have quite a loud induction sound as you know, especially from the turbo.

Changing the intake pipe will change your consumption... and not for the better if you enjoy your boost lol.

Yer i was trying to work out what he was talking about. the induction one i wouldnt think would be that bad since its not really pressureised.

it was his first ride in a volvo he was telling me it sounds like a boost leak. i said nar its just normal..

i might try hit him up again about it and see what pipe he is talking about. his wrecker was 100% sure they knew the problem and that it was that common in japan..

would love to hear a low km m35 from new or something to see what they sound like.

could be right too andy :D still interested to get to the bottom of this.

Thats easy, rebuild the turbo. :D

Bearings aren't supposed to make those noises but they may last ages if you can put up with it. I couldn't.

did you change your suction pipe at the same time as the high flow install?

My turbo keeps getting louder as time goes by so Andy is correct. I've also driven a fair few Stageas and they all have their different levels of noise, but it's not always the case that higher kms the louder it gets.

I can't wait unit it hits crescendo and pop she goes!

Actually, the crescendo is quite disappointing

Just after.

The intake is smaller than the stock front wheel, I went from the standard 46mm compressor to 56mm so decided a 3 inch intake was required, gained around 25kw just from the pipe.

i am guessing there was no whistle when you had the high flow with the stock pipe on the front?

mot really a whistle ......more a jet sound with the stock suction pipe!!!

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
