Hearing rushing liquid after installing intake/air filter in turbo eclipse?

Question

I heard the turbo would be more audible. I used to have the factory rubber hose intake and now I have aluminum. I just wanted to make sure this was normal as I'm fairly new to modding. Thanks!

Car:
97 mitsubishi eclipse gsx (turbo)
AWD. Automatic...

Answer 1

Might just be hearing air. I put an intake on my 02 chev and you get a lot more air flow to the filter since its not inside a box anymore. Sit an an idle and rev it up a bit with the hood open.

Answer 2

Hearing rushing liquid suggests that when you installed the intake you somehow got air into the cooling system. If you opened the system by installing a different intake manifold or thermostat housing... it allowed air into the system. This can be difficult sometimes to get the air out. Many times, it takes a few days of driving the car for the air to escape from the system.You may have to raise the front of the car and run the engine for a while to get the air pocket worked out of the system. Raising the car can allow the air pockets caused by the internal casting pockets in the block to fill completely with coolant, where if the car was on level ground, the block and heads may not fill without leaving a few air pockets. Make sure you have the heater full on when you do this so the coolant circulates thru the heater core.

Answer 3

simply changing from a rubber hose to a aluminum one may be the very source of your noise. the rubber one had a great noise reduction quality, whereas the aluminum, being of greater density, cannot shed the vibrations from the air rushing through it that well. one suggestion, use a mechanic's stethoscope to pinpoint the sourse of the noise, if it is the piece you just put in, i have a very simple solution, turn the radio up a little.

Answer 4

while setting up a swifter device, you will might desire to empty the oil previous to setting up, and then replenish and replace the filter out. The air filter out ought to incorporate the swifter kit, because it incredibly is an entire life filter out that breaths greater applicable.

Answer 5

You shouldn't hear it.
there is a restriction and will spoil the turbo for lack of lubrication.
check with the hardware vendor. try not to overspeed that turbo.mean while

Answer 6

you should be fine. Most turbos use some type of oil. That's more than likely what you are hearing.

I wouldn't worry about it.

Answer 7

would need to hear noise to say for sure but is probably normal. is noise coming from engine compartment or dash.
