Kazoo sound...
What is that???
I just got back to the states and registered/drove my FD (new to me) yesterday. I noticed when I got on it slightly that there is a decidedly kazoo'ish sound in the mid-high rpm range. It fluctuates with throttle, I'm just curious what exactly this noise is... I assume it's normal?

Hrm, the intakes are installed, but it is a high pitch kazoo like sound more than a "mooing" sound.
I haven't put the DP on yet, so I am *sadly* hoping that it's just back pressure from the pre-cat...
So basically kazoo = bad.
Once I get my hung over *** up and to the hobby shop I'll get the dp on, hopefully that will alleviate the problem. Otherwise I'm thinking that my tax return will be going towards a new BNR... This car is not going to **** out on me...

lol... i heard the same thing for 2months. every time i would let go of the gas i heard a moo coming from the intakes.
fixed that problem and started hearing a high pitched flutter sound, turned out the hose that goes to the stock bov had a pinch in the middle of it.... so every time i accel. or released at mid rpm's it made that sound.
it's simple and stupid, but it gave a headache trying to figure it out!

Ok, so I take back that the precat is in... I looked under the hood in daylight and sure enough, I already have a 3" stainless DP on... kid that sold me the car said it was all put back to stock. Idiot.
I noticed that the noise definitely starts when the second turbo engages. I know the engine was rebuild about 10k ago, I have no idea if they touched the turbos or not though. I'm guessing not.
Thanks for the help, I def appreciate.

On a serious note, I have the EXACT same issue. A buzzing or wirring sound on the secondary turbo. Im assuming that I have a turbo problem based on what Ive read here. I am running all of the emissions gear (except downpipe), and the stock airbox. What I hear is not a "moo" sound. I plan to upgrade my turbos soon, but I'd be curious to know if its definetly a turbo problem.

Could that be fluttering of the "check valve (port air)" in the air control valve assembly of the secondary air injection system? (from page F-119 of the 1994 factory workshop manual)

Well, I'm dropping the car off at RP Performance in Manassas on Wed for a wastegate port (among other things). I will ask them to check for any extra play in the turbos when they have them exposed/out for the port..
Random question, assuming that it is the blades hitting housing... is there any way to cure this, or atleast postpone their demise short of a new and/or rebuilt set???
Hehe, I love this... not even a week of official ownership and I am already looking at $3-4k of required maintenance before the car will be up to standards... this is certainly *not* a toy for a poor man =P I can only hope that dropping the cash to get this all taken care of now will mean less cost in random **** breaking/creeping up on me later down the road.
my tax return = spent... and I haven't even gotten my W-2 yet =P
