Hi guys, I know this has been discussed in a few thread before, I'd just like some help identifying something.

Occassionally I get a high pitched squeal or whine from somewhere under the bonnet, hardly happens, I found downshifting into third or second and giving the car a bit of juice in high rev (3500 - 4000 rpm) and full boost makes the noise last for a second or so.

It's quite hard to replicate. Anyway from a few threads I have read people are recommending checking the turbo exhaust manifold etc for loose bolts and such.

I've taken off the turbo heat shield and not sure what to check. Most of the bolts were pretty tight already, I did notice that there was a bolt missing on the manifold and I'm not sure if there was an existing bolt there or not? Anyway I half screwed in a bolt in there to see, took the car for a spin, couldn't get the car to re-create the noise however I didn't notice a small chirp in second gear that may have been it starting.

Anyway, see the pic below. Is there anything in the pic I need to check, and should there be a bolt in the spot I marked?

that bolt is nothing...it just holds the heat shield on

when mine started squealing it was the bolts that hold the turbo to the manifold (the one you can see in your picture actually as well as another one)...I tightened it with my hand and it was good again for a bit...

just feel around the turbo and manifold bolts to see if any are loose...

Had a mates car do that and it was a tiny split in a cooler hose (was the elbow under the turbo from

Memory) it would only do it under full boost and the split was really hard to find.... Long shot but I you don't find the other issues then it's worth a look :)

Mine did this a while back, ended up being a intake gasket..

sorry, was that the gasket between intake manifold and the engine head or the gasket between the parts of the manifold itself? pardon my English, I'm from Russia))

Squealing is from tight or loose belts African Americanachi. Have a good feel of your visible belts. Maybe lay of the maccas. It could be your wife complaining. Mine does. Its a high pitched squeal the whole way there until her fat cake hole get filled. Nah kidding, she is a beautiful 5"10' 26 yro bitch! Or loosen your cam belt. But dont do that cos you dont know what the f**k you are doing.

same problem for a while things ive checked on inlet side cos that's where its coming from.the noise starts at about 7psi

manifold gasket.

disconnected factory boost gauge sender.

checked intercooler joiners for pin holes.

checked hoses for splits as this has happen be for to me.

even had a smoke test twice.

the only thing left for me is the pvc valve and hoses to the pvc

its a split hose some where i think cos it needs some psi be for forced open and whistle

I had pretty much the same problem as you have. I had checked all the gaskets and still could not find the leak. It was also happening at 7psi and above. I had replaced all my vac hoses & all new clamps. Finnally I made this up and found the leak in about 5 mins.

Remove your intake from the front of the turbo, Attach the hose with valve to the front of the turbo, pump up using compressor. (no more than 10 psi) You should be able to hear the leak.

(Engine off, It will not hold pressure long. Just enough to find the leak)

Parts used to make this are

1 right angled silicone pipe from old stock intercooler pipes (or from any auto store)

1 screw in tyre valve

2 hose clamps

1 plastic pvc end cap (bought from a plumbimg store)

      Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.

      Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?

      R34 N/a And R34 Turbo (gtt) Transmission.. Uh, Problem.

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man

      Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
