RedM Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 There was a black Supe doing runs for most of the day. It kept catching my attention because it seemed to whistle as it went down the run, almost like it had a supercharger. Anyone know who it belonged to and/or why it made that noise?

Pixelfill Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 LeonV we think it might have been a boost leak. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted April 22, 2007 Author Share Posted April 22, 2007 Oh right! That'll be the other thread then. Oops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelfill Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Not specifically identified as the cause, but it can't have helped. It did sound pretty cool. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 I made several comments along the lines of ' I want mine to sound like that' , boost leak or not it sounded great down the strip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 I wondered who that was, heard and thought it sounded terrible. It sounded like the diff was on its way out! If it was leonv then it might explain one of the recent threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I wondered who that was, heard and thought it sounded terrible. Me too. Nothing cool about that noise! I said to someone I thought diff whine as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Boy Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Thought i could hear quite a few diff's whineing down strip especially by the far end. Shame Jurgens Rex Diff let go halfway down the strip! Must be frustrating thinkin the Rotary lump will be what let's you down if something does give up on ya and then turns out to be transmission related, bummer still hopefully easier fix that rotor housings, tips, seals and what not. Not a good day for the non-Toyota visitors motors that joined us on the day, that Vee Dub Corrado VR6 blew his box or diff on the startline right in front of me, saw the front end point to sky as he nailed it and then nothing as it barely rolled to the 60ft stretch.

Cable Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I did notice that when Jurgen was warming up his tyres that the left side wheel wasn't spinning yet the revs were raising. I couldn't see what the other side was up to but this could be one of the reasons the diff went pop. There was a few Supras out there like this too.

Wez Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Surely if its locked then both wheels should spin at the same rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought operation of a normal diff would mean wheels able to spin up independently all torque usually going to wheel which spins up 1st. LSD's and i would have thought locking diffs should "lock-up" once one torque heads to one axle over the other?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
