Hi all,

Recently did the greddy front plenum change on a R33 gtst and I seem to have come across a problem. When the car gets up to around 7-8 psi of boost (upgraded turbo) there is a loud howl from the intake plenum...

Ive done a vacuum leak test with a compressor and cant seem to fund any leaks???

Is this sound caused from a higher rate of air flow due to being a front facing plenum or something more to it?

The car doesnt idle funny or anything. Seems to build boost fine. Altho I havent been going above the 8 psi at all.

Any info would be great.

Cheers

have you not been able to go above 8psi because of your lack to adjust the boost, or because there is some sort of restriction stopping you no matter how much you set the boost controller to run?

if the latter, then you either have a boost leak (either a gasket is shot or there is a split in a hose, etc) or there is somthing (possibly packaging from the plenum) caught in the plenumn.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
