just a suggestion i had a strange whinning noise that i thought was the turbo lacking oil on startup would last a little while and then go away. it was like a nasty queeling noise and eventually i traced it down to the belts on the front of the motor needed some dry lube, WD40 done jack sh*t but helped me find it as its not easy to get ur hand past the clutch fan to lube it up.

dont know if this helps but anythings worth a shot!!!

Thanks for the suggestion mate, I know exactly the noise you're talking about Theo; but this is definitely appears boost related.

Basically as soon as it goes positive manifold pressure; the whine starts. It overlays the normal whine that the turbo has.

Sounds like the t3 exhaust gasket, I have had a few like that. Could be the front wheel rubbing though.

Need a replacement stock turbo? It could be a better option if you don't want to highflow...

Hmm, I don't think it's a leak; I'm going to get it on the hoist and stall it up, we should definitely be able to see/hear a leak if there is one.

Frankly, I'd be happy to stay with the stocker; but who's to say how long a second hand one will last? Are you talking about the one you were running on yours in between setups?

Feel free to PM me if you have time mate; it might be a viable option. :thumbsup:

I don't mind Lainy, I like talking to other people. With the car at my house I should be able to get parts shipped quickly, not taking 2 or 3 months like 'other' members. :P

lol.

Yeah that Lainy guy is a bit of a member... :whistling:

i got stranded today the damn battery in the key/remote went flat............ unlocked the car with the key and the alarm went off and then tryed to start it but the alarm wouldnt stop so couldn't go anywhere untill i got a new battery in the remote. very convenient when i was at the dog park, luckily a mate lived close by and we ran up to the shops and got a new one.

so for anyone needing a battery the part number is CR3020.

Hmm, I think I asked that Lainy bloke for a part to be measured ages ago, just after he got his hands on the wreck, actually. Still waiting for a reply...

Bloody Skoda drivers! :rant:

Oh yeah, I got my clutch replaced on Friday - out with the supposedly heavy duty Exedy, in with a Nismo twin-plate. Getting used to a new clutch and re-acquainting myself with driving a manual at the same time, after roughly 5 weeks of rolling around in only autos.

Saw your pics Nick; you must've been pissed to find whatever that thing was, that was masquerading as a Heavy Duty Clutch!

I'm assuming that was a workshop job? Good to see you've got what you paid for this time.

How are you finding the Nismo clutch? I was going to go for the coppermix single plate when i did my manual conversion, ended up being a bit too expensive at the time though.

Nah, I bought the last clutch myself, Dale, and had Unigroup install it.

Sourced the Nismo myself again, but Unigroup were flat-chat and I wanted my car back, so I got another local mechanic to do it, about 2mins drive and in the same suburb as Unigroup. We deal with them a lot, so I know they do good work too.

Oh, and here's the supposed "heavy duty" Exedy job - less than a year in the car:

It's butter-soft, Brian. Loving it so far! And no, it wasn't cheap, but they do come with a matching lightened flywheel which kind of makes up some of the cost.

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
