Thought I may as well post it here since its a skyline and I cant find anyone who knows how to get this sound. I assume its turbo flutter due to no BOV. The car runs a T04Z. This is not a flutter thread so dont attack me on this one please, I know there have been 1000s of threads regarding flutter. All I want to know is how to get this specific sound on lifting the throttle cause I like its high pitch aggressiveness. Anyone care to share or if your car sounds like this what turbo are you running, are you running AFM, etc.

Cheers

I KEEP TELLING EVERYONE! ITS THE HKS RACING TYPE II BOV!

Around $450 delivered to Australia from greenline, perfectrun or nengun.

And beware the imitation ones for sale on eBay. Get the genuine thing.

And another thing, you have to run at least 1 bar of boost for it to blow off.

Hope I helped.

it sounds like a no bov system and a big single open mouthed

one of the rajab vls' sounds the same and its probably the same setup.

ditto with the PANNIC vl turbo. no bov, open mouted turbo and airflow meter upstream or map sensor so you can basically hear the compressor wheel surge as its straight into the atmosphere.

god help that poor compressor wheel :D

It does that because of the whole car setup, not just the BOV. It's a combination of the intercooler, piping, turbo, etc etc. And the fact that the HKS Racing Type II BOV is a single stage valve, and only operates under high boost levels. Hence, you get a lot of 'reverberation' through the intercooler and piping.

If you run this BOV on a relatively stock motor, it will sound much like a HKS SSQV. And similarly, if you get a HKS SSQV BOV on a setup with large intercooler and piping, you can get it to flutter.

Fluttering is caused by the pressure finding it easier to escape in places other than the BOV. You have to remember that the outlet for the BOV is only small, and filters and intercoolers provide a LOT of free room when you're blowing off.

As for the whistling sound, that's just how the HKS sounds. So if you want that fluttering whistle, get either HKS SSQV / HKS Racing Type II.

I recommend the SSQV for people running under 15psi, and the Racing Type II for people running over 15psi.

Flutter like that of a VL turbo is not achieved with a blowoff valve kids, nor is it with the turbo intake open directly to the atmosphere... On my VL I have moved the AFM into the cooler pipes, and on the front of the turbo have fitted a 15cm long piece of 2.5" intercoolre piping with filter and mesh held over the end with a hose clamp. That is what makes the distinctive fluttering surge sound you hear VL's dropping here and there. Enjoy.

    • Just don't use ChatGPT or any other artificial stupidity for the equivalent of googling. Their demonstrated inability to discriminate reality from hallucination should be enough to make them totally untrusted. LLMs don't know anything and cannot think to even the smallest extent. They are just predictors of the next word, and that should never be confused with capability.
    • I think, given the usage model described in the OP, I'd never ever experience the wonders of the 400kW upgrade. What I really need is boost from 2000rpm and probably no more than 260-270rwkW. But I suspect that the highflow is not actually the turbo for that purpose, so I may in fact need to get a G25 or 30 or something right sized and very spooly. We shall see after it is tuned. I've had to back the boost and boost ramp off to stop the thing from pinging since the highflow went on, so I've been almost living the NA life for 9 months now! Injectors are recently in hand. AFM is in hand. Dyno is fixed. Just need to clear a queue of f**king Supras out of the way (and probably fit my new gearbox). So....some time this year? Lol.
    • For what I gather is a Sunday/summer car....braided is fine. You're not going to be left without a vehicle and you have plenty of time for inspection/maintenance. Oof. I wouldn't use them that way. They can probably handle the temperature** but the internal corrugations means that their flow characteristics are a bit shit. Lots of extra friction and pressure loss. Makes them flow like the next pipe size down. ** They are stainless, and the stainless can usually be at least something like 304L, which is pretty good at higher temperatures (unlike 316L, which I would use for a wrt/corrosive environment, but not a particularly hot environment). But the welding needs to be top notch. And even then, because you usually need at least one cone-seat end on them (because you can twist the hose and do up both ends at the same time unless one of them is a union) they can be prone to coming loose with heat cycles.
    • I don't have the OEM oil feed lines though and the turbo-wraparound line is torn, only has water. My plan is to get replacements for these and just connect a braided line to there. And make sure it's leak free. Hoses like these are also sometimes used to connect external wastegates, so for an EGR I think you're good using them.
    • Alright I understand. The most likely case is probably gonna be that I just keep the OEM unit in the car as long as it works.
