got another problem now fixed the water leak fixed the blown fuse, and why the stock boost gauge wasn't working now got a new problem

 

my aftermarket gauge is only reading maybe 5psi, doesn't feel like its boosting much at all,

 

and there is a distinctive whine i've never heard before that is in time with the boost,

 

i have still got a few air leaks but cant pin point them, even with a tester,

 

 

 

but the whine is concerning me, its not a whistle its a whine.

 

 

any one got any thoughts?

get a smoke pellet in there and leak test it the smoke will push out the leak and you will find your leaks, i dunno what the whine could be and i dont want to speculate. i think its important you sort out the boost leaks then you can be sure that varable is out the way.

agreed... and that doesn't sound good, how is your oil pressure?

oil pressure is normal....

 

in fact its holding much better then before i fitted these turbos,

 

turbos have only just been fitted so hope nothing wrong with them... :blink:.. they are turbo Technic stage 2's ...

 

im not running dump vales at the moment.

 

i've got japspeed elbows and decats, and unknown rear section.

 

 

 

i think ill try taking the passenger front pipe off and inspecting the turbo.

right took the front pipe off and there is some play in the shaft, (up + down only)

 

but more to the point i put a screw driver against the passenger turbo and revved it and there doesn't appear to be whining bit of chatter when i stopped but that was it, same on drivers side,

 

took it for a drive again, and im not 100% but the noise appears to be coming from the back, prob passenger exhaust.

 

 

so im assuming its an exhaust leak??? or the exhaust wheel on the passenger turbo:scared:.

How much play. ? About 3mm is max movement for jornal type tubs little less for bb tub

wouldn't say any more then 3mm, cant really measure.

 

literally finished putting the engine in Friday

 

 

 

bought these off a member on here, so it is dead im not sure about what to do next?, as they were sold as low millage turbo Technics stage 2's... and i was promised they were in full working order...

the oil lines were primed before the engine was fired up right? like i said earlier i dont know and i dont want to speculate. dosent sound positive though does it.

yeah engine was turned over a more then a few times to get the oil circulating before i actually fired it.

 

well watch this space.. i've no money left or holiday left to do this again...this zed and all its new z1 parts will be going up for sale if it is the turbo... :crying:

Ring me ... 07794015646 ...

Hey mate pm me your number, it's deffo not tubs I can assure you, I have a couple I ideas though

could be just a boost leak. mine was and you know you have a few. my rhd tub sounded goosed

i'll record the sound tommorow

I had an irritating whine in my old car but I ditched the then missus and the noise went away :laugh:

haha wish it was that simple lol....

 

 

its poor quality but you can hear the noise.

there are a couple more but you can hear the noise clearer on this.

had a new idea thrown into the mix...

 

leaking manifold or turbo-manifold gasket??? if very slightly loose could explain lack of boost and strange noise???

 

 

i used new nissan gaskets everywhere but if one wasn't tight enough... would explain echo through exhaust.

got something else i've noticed... seems to be taking longer and longer to fire? used to start within a second of turning the key its defiantly taking longer and getting worse...

 

oh no.... im starting to get really worried now.
