Engine vibrations - rebuild started Mon, 19 July 2004 03:13 Go to previous message
Hi all, ages ago now I had a thread about how my 3T-GTE powered RA28 gets some seriously annoying vibrations over 3500rpm.

At that point I was suspecting drivetrain and lately have been mucking around with different tailshafts etc.

Anyhow.. After more testing it definately isn't drivetrain related as if the car is stationary, foot on or off the clutch, soon as you hit around 3500rpm all the way to redline there is a vibration you can feel.

Everything that isn't bolted down tightly rattles and shakes, you can feel it through the seat and especially the accelerator peddal.

Its a very fine vibration though and not like a big lumpy one.

Engine has been balanced including flywheel, pulley etc around 30,000 km ago now.

Wanted to start this thread again to get some suggestions as its really starting to piss me off to the point of wanting to pull the engine out and fit something else. I basically change gear now before it hits 3500rpm so I don't have to put up with it. But a turbo engine under 3500 is a bit average!

The 4AGE engine in AE86 I have you can basically cruise along at 6500rpm and its smooth as silk. I want something like this! Smile

Can the turbocharger itself cause vibrations? I'm wondering if that is out of balance.. Just seems such a hard thing to track down as its the 'whole' engine that seems to vibrate and very hard to know where exactly its coming from.

Well thanks all for any suggestions and putting up with this rant Smile

Cheers
Joel
