hi all just wanting to pick some of your brains

i recently have just upgraded my car these are the following mods:

Hi Flow Turbo wont mention who off just yet

Gtr Fuel pump

ARC Front MOunt

3 inch dump back zorst

hks pod or a k& N

stainless twin dump pipe

power fc to go in but not in

and z32 meter

now the car was running fine before i did the hi flow stainless dump and fuel pump

but now i have put this turbo on i get a really annoying whirring noise as well as the normal induction sucking noise now i first thought boost leak but i have check and re tightened all clamps

second i thought turburlance at theh new dump but to no avail with standard on it stilll makes this noise its hard to explain what it sounds like very much like a hair dryer goin flat out really hi pitched whine?

the car makes boost fine doesnt fluctuate or any thing

i have check both compressor and exhaust wheels to see if they are touchin housings or are dammaged but nothing found

shaft play is wat you expect for a new turbo NONE

so what the hell iis this noise

because i want to get it sorted so i can take it to get pfc tuned!!!

any thoughts would be great

its not that hard to diagnose an un balanced turbo the sound is very distictive. it is a high pitched ring that is only present when your on boost and you will hear it over your induction noise. you will want to work this out fairly quickly because if this is hapening on the intake side you can cause alot of damage to your engine due to the small metal filing from the impeller wheel, if its on the exhaust side it wont do any damage to you engine but you can take you dump pipe off and shine a tourch into the exhaust housing and you should see really small metal filling in the carbon. the reason why i ask who did the hi-flow is because i know of a certain company that makes mistakes like this all the time

nah problem isnt i installed too many things cos i put every thing back to stock dump and air pod and like i know what a fuel pump sounds like and sheesh i aint that stupid

mechanical noise verses electrical noise to totally different sounds yeh well ive only done probly 150 kms max so hopefully i hasnt done any damage

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
