[danmad27]

Hi all, i have my first 1995 impeza wrx and not that used to all the little bits and bobs yet so can any one help me please??? i have a screeming noise on aceleration over 3000 revs, i have checked intake pipes and belts and they are all good so im a little lost and hoping its not the turbo

[Jay762]

[danmad27]

That's an odd one to be honest pal, welcome to the forum btw, it could be an air leak somewhere, does it boost ok? Do you have a gauge to see how much boost your getting? Any mods? UK or import?

[danmad27]

cheers miggs it nice to be here, to be honest im not sure as its my first turbo, it seems to go ok maybe a little slugish but i havent pushed it to far as i really dont want to do any damage   its a import and i havent got a guage as yet due to funds!!! i will try and have good look round all the hoses at the weekend :)

[Gambit]

It is strange have you checked for any small children under the car :)

As Miggs said is it boosting ok? hard to give an answer from that video maybe belt slipping would be first guess. 2nd would maybe a bearing going some where. 3rd air leak. Or maybe turbo going but I doubt it.

[danmad27]

cheers gambit haha no small children :P.  thanks for the sugestions i will have a look round at the weekend and keep everything crossed its a belt or air leak ;)

[Gambit]

You're Welcome mate

Did it come with some history with when the belts was changed last ?

[Miggs]

Where are you based

Appologies if you have your location under your avatar but I'm on my phone and it doesn't show

Just thinking if your local I don't mind having a look for you

[Gambit]

He's down in London Guildford. :(

[Miggs]

Ah bugger

[danmad27]

Hi guys i couldnt reply last nite cos my poxy phone wont let me!!!! thanks for the offer miggs thats really kind and if it comes to it i mite well drive up to urs :D, it didnt come with history about belts gambit so its on my to do list lol is there anthing to look out for when i do replace it or just the usual timing belt things?

[Miggs]

Just pay the extra and do the idlers and tensioner, it's worth it in the long run, there's a guide on here somewhere

[Gambit]

Just like any other car I believe. If you done them before you should be fine :)

[danmad27]

cheers guys yeah i have done a few in my time   and havent cocked one up as yet lol. i was thinking of getting the whole kit just to be safe :)

[Gambit]

I would mate best bet to be safe :) 

[Miggs]

Yeh as said full kit is best and safest option, it's like other cars only the belts longer and goes round more wheels lol, it looks daunting but is straight forward enough

[danmad27]

cheers chaps i thought i better play it safe, i hope ur rite and its straight forward and i dont get lost in a mass of wheels lol :D

[Miggs]

Take a pic of the old belt and where it goes before removing, the belt has to line up in specific places on the wheels, it's not like a normal belt that just goes on, look at the guide on here, might make you less aprehensive

[Gambit]

I thought you had to do that will all car's   I did with my last 2 cars anyway. Oh well better safe then sorry :)

[Miggs]

No some belts are just stamped with the makers name, others have a direction and others like the subaru one have a line or two on to line up with certain points on the car
