Pushing it hard: Bubbling noise after 5500rpm ?


Recommended Posts

Take some advice not yet given - it must be still under warrenty man get it back to the dealer asap as continued driving may cause more damage - it also sound similiar to how g3ns problem with a blown turbo pipe gasket started anyhow dont mess with it get the dealer to fix:uh-huh:

Don't worry guys, it's going back to the dealer. mark my words...

like someone here said "it's better to ask a dumb question to a dealer than to ask for a new engine after it's blown"

Sometime this week it'll go back :D

thx for all the advice guys :(

And a sidenote: I disconnected the Blitz BOV, bought some new tubing to actuate the stocker, and bingo no stalling!

So I then hooked BOTH BOVs up... i get that nice pssshtt sounds ONLY at high RPM (when I want it anyway) and MORE power...

-Kym.

Bubbling noise after 5,500 rpm could be your passengers Shi#ing themselves.

Seriously take it back to the dealer but may be worthwhile getting an independant check done by a recognised engineer first as the yard only have to fob you off for 12 weeks unless you can prove the problem was pre existing.

Engine only test may cost $50 but will either save you heaps or put your mind at ease.

Cheers

my BOV gave me an extra 20rwhp

nah nah, dont be sarcastic, what I meant was I think the Blitz is st00pid and faulty, as boost comes on harder/quieter now too...

probably was leaking... still got that bubbling noise too tho... but LESS now that both BOVs are connected.

The Blitz is on a custom pipe to the IC, so how would I go about removing/blockin it off ?

Anyone got a spare stock pipe they could lend me ?

tell the dealers about it, theyll be able to chuck on a std pipe and make sure everythings ok. considering u just bought it, and from a dealer, make sure they do EVRYTHING. becuase as soon as u start messing around with it and something breaks theyll just say, 'sorry warranty void'

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
