Hi all I have a s1 stagea 1997 with a rb25det engine

It has developed a wine from about 2000 rpm up it sounds like the turbo..... its a high pitched wine

and gets worse as the rpm rises but when it is backed off it reduces in loudness buy when you rev it the wine follows the rpm

still drive-able but the wine is very loud

any ideas ?

or does anyone want to buy a stagea s1 about 265,000 km fair condition

2 months rego $3000 firm

regards Robyn

The one could be a pulley on the motor or an idler, if the whine is consistent while revving with the whine while putting the engine under load it most likely won't be the turbo. Have the car running and stick your head under the bonnet amd pull the throttle cable a few times to try and pinpoint where the noise is coming from

hi

the noise only starts when the motor is warm .... it isnt there at idle comes in at about 2000 rpm ... I dropped all the belts and its still there.... I took the heat shield of the turbo and the noise changed ...

I dont know too much about these things only what I learn on these forums .....I am 60 year old girl that likes import cars

I am near Taree nsw...

On my 220,000+km the exhaust gaskets on the rb25 went and it was similar, but basically all around noisey. Just more noise with more load. Might be worth checking the exhaust gaskets or ask an exhaust workshop to check them. The gaskets themselves are cheap, but a bit of labour

Hi

I started to remove the turbo and I found a heap of oil in the pipes.....

and I have about 3mm end play in the turbo....

I need a cheap stock turbo......

I only want to sell the car

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
