Thoughts On Turbo Surging

[Sneakyazn]

ok so... is it worth to Turbo Surge the Rb25dett...

have a mate with an s15 thats done it an has had it 4 ages an hasnt faced any problems... my mate with an R34 so far hasnt faced any problems but then again a lil early to say... so basically...

To Turbo Surge or not to Turbo Surge

That is the Question

well... hmmm does it do any damage?

all ive found out so far is that it makes a "flutter" sound.

ummm uses lil more fuel cause it reads the air that comes back in and... possibilities of popping due to running rich... so anything else? i.e. turbo going "BOOM"? because it spins one way an then when u let off the throttle it goes the other... otherwise thats all i know any "bad" results from doing such a thing?

mmmm lets discuss.

High possibility of stalling when putting the clutch in.

Also good chance of killing your turbo as it only has a Nylon based compressor blades along with much higher possibility of developing air leaks on the various silicon joins/lines.

hmmmm so in other words not a very good idea

dose, turbo surge, flutter, full sick thing, whatever you call it.

Don't do it.

Just don't.

And definately don't start a thread about it.

oh whats the words?? i told you so

[bubba]

turbo's do not spin backwards.

The sound is just the air being bounced off the closed throttle plate and chopping against the air still coming out of the turbo.

My bov is so tight that it flutters under nearly all conditions other than full boost with a quick lift off.

what bov you have???

mines like bubba's as well flutters like crazy aye !

[bubba]

what bov you have???

Some ARC thing, came attached to a piece of pipe that I used to get my bonnet shut after the 30 went in.

The problem was, at idle, it was PUSHING air OUT the bov.. I can only put that down to the undersized turbo spooling from idle.. it wasn't making positive pressure but certainly positive airflow at idle! I mean, you would expect it to be a VACCUM leak at idle (i.e. sucking air IN).

So to stop it blowing air out at idle I had to tighten the bov pretty much as far as it would go.

dosing !

Fully sik uleh !

I've taught my kids to say 'ricer' everytime they hear a car doing this.

Become one of us or be one of 'them' applies to this area

[bubba]

I can't help the dosing

Have gtr twin bov's+cooler+recirc pipe to go on with new turbo, so no more dosing! lol
