weird noise from turbo?

[rbs13]

hey guys, had an accident last week.. got cut off on highway and hit barrier at 110km/h.. got out of it ok.. i think my air flow meter may be screwed.. it idles fine just once you come on boost it starts missing pretty bad.. almost like its actually running on 5 cylnders.. sounds like a wrx.. well a sick one! anyway i got home and let it idle for a few seconds and thought i heard a wierd sound.. so i take off the pod.. and put my ear up to the air flow meter..and sure enough.. i hear a little sound.. sounds like a bell!!!! WTF! like a little bell just ting.. ting.. etc.. is my turbo on its way out.. the car still felt pretty strong before the accident and i have never noticed this sound b4? any one know anything? any help would be great. by the way this is a rb20det.

cheers.

sounds like the turbo blades are chewing into the housings, you'll need a new turbo or a rebuild of that one, i'd stop driving the car so that u dont get turbo fins going into your engine!

ha, you're one of those fools that actually manages to run into the barrier on the M1 - I've always wonder how in fact did manage to do that on a 5 lane road?

shuddup nodrog

:upurs: nah, its funny because you drive down there pretty much any day and see all these cars that have like hit the side barrier, and its like 5 lanes and so open wide viewing angle the whole way to the GC and everything.. it makes the Monash and Ring roads in melbourne look like narrow roads so i'm not sure people manage it!

[DJ_L3ThAL]

[BHDave]

Thats some nice whoring.

I'd take it to a profesional for an opinion. Maybe pull the af meter off and havea look to see if anythings loose in there, check wiring hasn't been crushed in the inner guard if the car was an auto before the conversion.

Probably pull the front pipe off and have a look in the turb to see if you can see any chips in the blades and have a feel for play in the shaft. BB turbo should have very little shaft play.

Unless somethings fallen off the af meter then the turbo shouldn't have eaten anything though.

.. i was heading into brisbane, in the left lane and some **** head decide to take my lane.. he was going quick and there was a car ahead of him.. so he cut me off.. predator.. before you open your uselss mouth about shit you dont know nothing about go to your kitchen and get a glass of shut the hell up.. call me a fool for running into the barrier.. f**k you! bhdave, DJ_L3ThAL thanks for the replys.. ill have to pull the turbo off and check it out.

Just take the pipe from the compressed side off and look for "shiny bits" first. May save some work.

remember a turbo spins way quick so if it was interfering anywhere it would sound like a squeal

"interfering...squeal" sounds like gordo and DJ with their 14 yo

[rbs13]

took everything off bar the turbo and there doesnt seem to be any signs of anything. the turbo wheel spins freely and there is no metal shavings.. there is very little play in the turbo as well.. hmmm.. but i guess when its spinning as fast as it would when i come on boost if there was a tiny bit of play it would get worse????

if u had a prob with the turbo, it's not like a bell sound - like the others said - it is more like a sqeal which increases with revs.

Can you hear the sound when driving?

I can't believe the crap that just came out of your mouth predator. This guy has damaged his car and u reply to his thread by calling him a fool?? Constructive..
