Hahah yeah i think dose is a pretty funny word lol but how it is related to flutter i do not know....

Why not make a 'dose pipe'?

I think that turbo cars that dont make any noise are just plain boring. >_<

*awaits flamage*

I think "dose pipe" is as funny as hell but it's an open forum and I'm sick of seeing new users hammered for asking questions or having different views to the majority :)

I dare you to join the minority group and see what happens to YOU :sorcerer:

Dose pipes, metal intake pipes, flutter.. it all means the same thing --- SSoooOTuTuTuTuTU!!

Who cares that you get defected for it, if you drive a skyline and a cop makes you pop your bonnet you get done for any stupid thing they feel like pickin on anyway...Mehhh!

PS-don't need to get off the topic and add other bs, relate your post to my original topic thats on page ONE!

I have one of those apexi metal intake pipes, I can confirm that the intake noise is louder than a plastic one. It is also more high pitched.

I tried blocking the BOV off, and yes full hektic flutter was abundant. But I wa not a fan of the overfueling, stalling and whatnot.

if it's being detrimental to my car, then the care factor is f*cking huge.

Couldn't think of anything worse that to intentially create mechanical problems to my car

What mechanical problems does a metal intake pipe create for your car?

he is talking about leaving the bov blocked off and lettting it surge its ass off every time the throttle body closes

it's arguable that letting the compressor surge its ass off every time causes damage, i agree

do a survey of 100 vl turbos with captain insano surge and ask them how many have done turbo rebuilds

care factor. soo! soo! soOOkutukutukutututu...

:ermm:

So are you going to post anything of interest or a bunch of letters each time?

Pointless threads get sent to the wasteland, and this isnt far from it now

I run a 6 inch straight metal pipe off the turbo with a small filter on the end, I beleive it should "by theory" suck in more cool air than my last setup which was a pod filter fitted up near where the standard airbox was mounted. The piping to the pod was mostly steel apart from 1 90degree bend which was rubber. Im still yet to test to see if the straight pipe is more responsive because my clutch is slipping so I don't want to drive it on boost till I get a new one.

And yes it makes it sound exactly like a vl turbo, its "doses" are insanely loud, too loud sometimes when you just want to drive normally.

Oh and I run after market computer so no afm and blocked bov - hence the very loud flutters.

    • yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.
    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
