Hey all

This is my day which includes the skyline.

Sooo... after work Im on my way to Lansvale to go get my new shadow boost gauge. In sydney it was really warm. I think it was 29deg or something.

Anyway, im driving the hour it takes to get there. And I feel heatsoak on the car, it was just a hot dry day. I finally get to Lansvale and park in the maccas car park, seeing as I couldnt find the shop I thought I might as well search on foot. I get there reverse myself into a spot away from all other cars, and Im letting the car idle for a little bit, doing my noise check. Noises from a car that appear out of nowhere freak me out. Everytime I hear something new, IM like whats that. Haha.

Well a new noise popped up today, this time i thought something was maybe on its last legs. It was a sort of humming in the car, obviously drowned out on the freeway. I did a hearing check all around the car and ruled out the engine bay, yay, and isolated it to under neath the petrol filler, which made sense coz inside the car I climbed on the back seats and pinpointed to the fuel filler. I dont know why it did that, and continued on the way home.

Does anybody here think that the fuel pump could hum so loud you could here it in the car? Any way for me to isolate the problem?

Also I installed my new boost gauge. I like. especially the fact that I can see how much boost im running, the stock gauge is always past 7. But now I see that im running bang on 13 with no spikes :). But I could also finally pin point when I hit full boost. I start building boost at 2,500rpm then I would achieve maximum velocity at 4,000rpm (maybe a little after. The revs jump really fast after 4000 haha, hard to keep my eye on the boost and the speedo.

I have had a tune so I thought (only by reading what other people post) 3,500. Or have been mistaken all this time?

I saw a white GTT tonight on anzac pde turning at the 711 before alison road. Nice wheel chirpies thumbsup.gif.

Thanks guys. And as usual any help is muchly appreciated.

how much fuel was in car at the time, try filling it up and see what happens to hum, yes fuel pumps can be noisey, espicialy after market ones.

full boost @ 4000rpm, what turbos have you got, my stock turbo 32 is full @ 2800rpm and the 34 with -7s is 3200rpm

Tank was about a 1/2. And once it cooled down I tool the car out for another drive and the noise is no more. I read somewhere that heat can cause this, at least I know now. Not like oh shit the cars gonna blow up hahah.

That's the problem, tried to identify turbos bit need to take all the intake piping off :S. Other than that all I can see is Garrett r.42 m24. Which doesn't say alot :S.

ok so, glad sau is back up and running :). but during that time, i went and tested gauge, and car was running beautifully, which im glad.

I have come to the conclusion that i do hit full boost at 4k, tried my best to look at the turbos, but only saw this

Thats all I see, with the big garrett letters on the topside. :S. Cant wait for my service to come up so I can ask the mechanic to have a looksy.

Coz if what youre saying is true, that full boost is around 2,800 then I want to know what these babies are so I can crank them up :P, seeing as im only running 0.9 bar.

Any one else wanna chime in on when you hit full boost with stock turbos?

Thanks

By my searching and asking around, Ive heard anywhere from 2,800 - 3,500 RPM. hmmm, booking the car in for its 90k service the weekend after next. Hopefully the mechanic can get the tally plate number for me. Are there any other details I can get off the turbo?

Sorry to be a nuisance guys. Just very curious :)

    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
