Weird Turbo Noise

[kris_]

Hey guys,
Ive come across a little issue, when im driving and the car starts to spool... it spools and as soon as it comes into boost it sounds like there is air leaking from the turbo...
Im not sure what this could be...

Any ideas?

[Weq]

air leaking?? lol

look for leaks in ur couplers. look for leaks in ur gaskets all around the turbo. if its a high pitched screach, its ur turbo bearings.

[kris_]

yeah its higher pitch than the spooling but not too high..
I have no idea what it could be.

Hey if its like a scratching noise, sorta like a screech when the turbo kicks in, does that mean its really bad?

[Weq]

yep. if it screaches it mens there is metal on metal contact. just make sure u dont have exhaust leaks/piping leaks as sometimes they can copy-cat the noises.

Oil feed isnt blocked is it?

[Weq]

DOesnt anybody read anymore? i already told you how to check the turbo ffs.

u can also pull the intake/charge and exhaust pipes off and look for oil. feel the shaft for any in and out place, along with side to side and make sure the turbo isnt touching the housing.

Which is why you should be driving a camry and not a turbo honda. Please go fork out heaps of money on people checking out your car; It makes me feel better about how much I spend on mine and how much I save by actually reading things on the internet rather than ignoring advice and opening the wallet instead.

exhaust leak .....rub a white rag round the edgest of the turbo flange , manifold flange and dump pipe. checking for leaking exhaust (carbon)

could this mean i've stuffed the exhaust wheel, as it only does it when it comes into boost?

And you have contributed in what way?

If he followed my advice, which was, follow other people's advice above, which he had obviouisly not done, then the problem could be found.

It's not my problem if you are enraged by my intolerance of lazy/stupid people.

justrunit: People don't want just a little bit of help, they want someone to hold their hands though it all. He drives a turbo honda. If a person spends 15 minutes a day reading, you can learn a huge ammount in a small time. A +T modification to a car isn't something you can set and forget; Hence why I am not very nice to people who expect to be spoon fed the answer to their problem, when they give us vague symptons and no feedback on advice given.

If it sounds like there is air leaking, check your couplers, or maybe look at your boost gauge and see if it is reading normally. If it is reading normally, then you aren't leaking boost. If you think it's your turbo, take of your intake piping and play with the shaft. Remember, the shaft is spinning, even when not in boost, albeit at a much slower rate.

If the OP got back to us after checking the above, we could offer so much more help. It's the fact that they don't want to get their hands even remotely dirty that makes it near impossible to diagnose.

Mate your a smartass...

Just shut your mouth.

You dont know about my level of knowledge or whether or not I like to get my hands dirty.
For your information, I've put my engine together on my own, I was helped out by the people on this forum when I got stuck, but like I said i got in there and got my hands dirty.
And the reason why I asked on this forum is not to be spoonfed the answer, its to get help and advice from people who know Hondas. Before I came on here, I checked my pipes, and compressor wheel, and it seemed fine so I was stuck.
I've read many articles and learnt a lot about turbos, hondas etc etc and also learnt alot from owning 3 turbo cars in the past (NOT CAMRYS) which im sure is more than you can say...
And if it bothers you that much that I posted a thread in order to seek advice, theres a simple solution... DONT F#*KEN READ IT!!!

P.S: The problem seems to be gone, I started the car today and been driving it all day and it sounds normal :confused: :confused:
