what turbos does my z have fitted it is a 92 tt uk started making a funny wining noise last night engine was warm and when i accelarated and the turbo came in i herd a wine that i have never herd b4 so i presume that is not a good sign that my turbos have a lot of life left in them

 

would it b possible for me to just buy a repare kit and do my own repares i have quite alot of mechanical skills

(my supra engine is in bits on my kitchen work top)

more than likly a boost leak.

Turbos can be changed while engine is inside car but it is roughly the same amount of time and labour as pulling motor. So if you are going to change them pull engine and fix all the bits and bos while your at it.

 

Check for boost leaks as to the whine you are getting. Is it like a whistle?

it is like the wine u get when you go up the road pritty slow when the car is cold but a slightly sound

well if its windy while you are not using the turbos how would it be sign of turbo failure?

it is when you are using the turbo thats when the wine happends

Hi Toger,

My turbos started whining..after another few months they were 'screaming' (at full boost)! TurboTechnics said the bearings were knackered when they examined them! (Which is a FREE service)

 

Call Turbo Techincs on 01604 705050 and ask for Giles for some advise.

 

Regards
