Bov

[steves180]

Hey guys/girls,

Im thinking about fitting my skyline with a bov but i want one that flutters...do any of you have one that does that and if so what type is it. If there is any other relevant info about this post it up.

Thanks alot

[JaiJai]

sooo token...honestly ill be nice search oh search

hks super sequentials, they flutter/wooosh/whistle and all the rest, depending on how u release the throttle..

with mine, when i spool up the turbo and build up heaps of pressure in the intake pipes and release the throttle quickly it makes a woooosh sound, if i release it slowly it makes the fluttering sounds..

there is a massive thread covering this in forced induction (i think its in there) all about the sound BOV make. There is also a web site ffs that lets you here them. Agreed with hks super sequentials

If your putting it on a stock skyline DONT your car will more then likely stall when come to a stop, also cause other issues that are covered in lots of threads.

To my knowledge the fluttering noise is meant to be the air being forced back through the turbo and out through the pod. Which eventually ends up wrecking the turbo.

im with bluprint...

So ive heared... the flutter sound is the sound from air bouncing of the turbo to the bov back and forth... Which does damage to your turbo..

kinda like a stop start thing..

Thats gold! LOL

I dont think that you need to worry about finding a BOV that "flutters" because just about all BOV's are very similar in design...

The noise that you want is made according to how your intake system is set up ie:

*whether you have front mount intercooler or not,

*whether your BOV is plumb back or straight to atmosphere,

*whether you have a pod filter or airbox,

*whether your boost is turned up or not...

There are many different things to factor in when playing around with the inlet... And as said in previous posts, you might have alot of trouble with your mixtures (air/fuel) if you put the wrong BOV on without doing anything else to the car first (like a programable ECU or Air fuel controller)...

BOV's basically just make different noises according to how tight the spring in them is set to.

Happy hunting though

hmmm.. if this was the case, wouldnt the car stall? as the turbine will be forced to stop spinning and the exhaust will be returned back in the engine/trapped in the exhaust manifold, causing the engine to stall?

ive revved my car from the throttle body, looking at my bov as it releases air, and when it flutteres, i noticed the spring on my bov bouncing open/shut..

[MKDR33]

i agree with bullet32.. its to do with your intake setup..

[SkyGTRline]

Thats kinda tru in a way but hey....

thats what ive heard...

[Amaru]

The flutter is caused by the air thats in the inlet tract coming back out the airfilter when the throttle body is closed (when you jump off the throttle). Its called thrust reversion and another commonly associated word is thrust reversion damage (a turbo spinning at 100,000+rpm and suddenly has air forcing its way back through it the wrong way).

Its easy as pie to make your car flutter... remove your stock BOV and make sure you have a pod filter. With aftermarket bovs they reason they flutter is the bov is either not venting at all or only partially venting and the rest of the air is going back out the intake.

On a stock ECU it can cause all kinds of problems as the air thats expected to go into the engine doesnt make it in but the fuel does causing it to partially flood itself etc.

Simplest way to get some flutterin'

1) Put on a pod filter (if you haven't already got one)

2) Remove your standard BOV and make a plate up to block it off

3) Crank up the boost to say 10PSI

4) With a bit of practice, you should be able to hold flutters for up to 5seconds!!!

Happy flutterin'

DISCLAIMER:

1) Your car may/will stall as the air will be forced back through the turbo and back where it came from; your AFM will go insane hence causing a sudden "drop" in RPM and stalling. Even does it on an auto!

2) Your turbo may/will die - If I spun you 10,000rpm one direction, then hit you in the opposite direction with a baseball bat, you'd die too

LOL.....Thanks alot guys i think ill leave it stock for now

Gold!!

hahaha still one of the oldest topics on here... whether its good or not for the turbo...scares old grandmas though kinda funny

[polishstorm]

the flutter is the reverberation caused by air hitting the turbo and being relaesed via the wastegate. all you have to do is put you bov spring on hard setting and you will have the flutter sound

[race_snooze]

my does it non stop, for those of you that have been in my car (polishstorm, Nick, andrew anyone else) i have the apexi duel chamber and a pod. Mind you the turbo is being replaced as we speak (by me lol) anyone want to buy a gcg highflow for 1700 so i can buy a gt30 or gt35.

[Terminal]

you're a month too late, i just bought a GCG hi-flo! damnit

[_8OO5TED_]

buy a RB30ET if u want flutter....

[Tough R34]

im selling my apexi dual chamber BOV $150 if anyone is interested

cheers
