Hi All,

So hoping to be pointed in the right direction before I go opening things up.

So here are the symptom's:

Upon start up after approx. 4-6mins of normal idle there is like a "grinding noise" that comes directly behind the CAS and on top of the cover, when it is there you can also feel the vibration of the cover kind off.

it happens intermittently so it could be there for like 10secs stop then after 1min it come back for like 30sec then stop and so on and so on. it goes away when the throttle cable is pulled and revs increases, release the cable then its back with in 20-40secs.

it only does it after it has warmed up from a fresh start.

Also to add the water pump and timing belt has only been replaced approx. 6 weeks ago.

Hoping to be pointed in the right direction of what to look for when I open the cover up.

Thanks.

ummmmm.......good question.

Are the idler pulleys generally part of the kit for the timing belt or they are purchased separately ?

If they are purchased separately then I would say no they may not have been done.

I would ask who did the belt, you can replace the belt by itself , BUT, generally you replace the belt, pulleys and water pump at the same time.

Or at least that's what I do when a timing belt needs doing.

dodgy bearing in the CAS is my guess

Only because I've had the same thing happen. Took the cover off, everything was fine, put the cover on, sounded crap. thought it was the cover vibrating, one day pulled the CAS out and tried to spin it and it felt like the balls were cubes in the bearing

Pull the cover off anyway, see if you can pinpoint anything first

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.

      By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.

      There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
