If your talking about Turbo Flutter you can get that sound by just removing your BOV. Aftermarket BOV's do this as well becasue the spring is stronger than a stock BOV, so it only opens up at high boost. Stock BOV's have a soft spring so they open on low boost. When the BOV doesnt open the air bounces off the turbo inside the pipes casuing it to make the Flutter sound. So the when your not running high boost the BOV wont open and you will get the Flutter sound or as you say psstt...ttts...ttts...ttts...ttts..ttts, lol.

Its actually running no bov at all that makes that sound, if you block up your stock one the air will have no where to go when the throttle closes so it reverses and goes back through the compressor blades getting chopped up and then back out the pod. This gives you the flutter noise.

A big thread on it here http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=60655

Does anyone know if it would make any difference (to performance or sound) if i was to put my hksssq where my stock one is. when i brought the car it was configured in a wierd way where a hks bov was installed but the tubes connected up to the stock bov and in affect im running 2 bov's.

I just wanted to clean up and possibly gett the fluterr sound so was wondering if i directly replaced the stcok one for the hks one would it affect performance and can i get the flutter.

cheers.

locoloc: are you sure the standard one isnt blocked off with a gasket between the flange? But yes you can run just the one if it will fit on the flange.

DFAULT: on most there is a bolt with a lock nut, adjusting this will make it softer or harder.

If you want the flutter sound you have to remove/block off both your bov's.

Is the HKS one set up so its recirculating?

im pretty sure that somehow the HKS SSQ somehow opens - closes - opens - closes, gving not quite a flutter sound, but a sequential release, dont quote me though :wave:

      That's convinced me I'll bump up the G30-660 to 770   Any idea if the difference in boost pressure? Cheers

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Hey guys so turns out this project is going to be much bigger than I thought haha but I've done some my homework and have done a few panels on my car, but one part I can just not visualise is this. If I do a spot repair and I put filler in a dent for example and sand outside of the repair with 320 grit lets say so the primer can stick as I will only put primer on that repair and the surrounding area and then repaint the whole panel. Don't I need to make sure that I don't put primer on the old clear coat? I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down, it's still shiny. I thought putting paint on clearcoat or primer on clearcoat is a bad idea because it won't stick. So in this scenario it's a bit different to mine but imagine someone doing a spot repair and only painting that small section of repair but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat. What am I missing?

      I was immediately reminded that your location is QLD. Sounds like a perfect SEQ business idea.

      And if you can't drive bigger injectors with peak and hold as low impedance injectors during low pulse width, it's even harder to get a nice clean known amount of fuel.
