Funny sound coming from my wastgate... is it serious?


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I had the temporary piping & welding (needed for VIC Roads RWC certificate) removed from my wastegate to exhaust on Friday last week. B4 work was done the noise level on boost was high, but similar to the sound of turbo spooling... with pipe fitted not much different. Now when on full boost it really does sound like my car is doing a fanny fart. Why is this so? Only the pipe that went from wastegate to exhaust was removed and then hole in exhaust filled and welded shut. I can’t notice any lack in performance and the cut on pipe is straight, not jagged or squashed.

I would like to get it sounding better than it does now. Any explanation, thoughts would be appreciated.

Oh… BlindElk I have your front brake lines if you see this. PM me and I will meet up with you and return. Thanks for your help. Much appreciated :P

make a sound file robin and post it up...

You reckon hold a mic out the window getting on boost and record? I 'm serious it sounds like a long loud whoopy. I will attempt after work and post tonight.

ok, Im not really following what you man mate... so some questions

Do you have an ext wastegate?

The wastegate was plumbed back into the exhaust... and now its externally venting (or a screamer pipe in other words)?

if so... then thats the noise they make man.

I have an external wastegate.

Screamer pipe yes...

But B4 I had the work done it screamed but not like it does now. It's like it's singing out of tune if you know what I mean? Maybee all I need is to cut again above weld where sleeve was placed and maybee thats causing the funny scream. It is pretty off putting and I bet would scare the shit out of a driver with his window down if was not expecting it... even better if done past an undercover >> ass ram!

LMAO

robin - dont need a mic if u have a digi cam of some sort... just whind the windows down and put it on the seat so its sheltered from the wind and let it record... then put it through movie maker and remove the video so u just have sound... or leave the video in if u want :P

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
