I think Danny is pointing to the "tu tu tu tu".

Different to "psssshhhhhtttt", but still ghey...

... Why would you want your M35 to sound like a crappy VN Crappydore?

go watch some of the edward lees videos. the old man (edward) has no idea about cars, it makes me wonder how he sold cars! he was driving mine (thats where it came from) and i was explaining things to him! according to him (and he says it on the video) they have a VQ35 motor, and dual zone climate control! wow i had no idea hahah not to mention tv and sat nav!

i am no ricer.... and hate really loud blow of valves but i think they can sound good, and i love that tu tu tu tuuuu sound which i have been told comes from the waste gate.. is that true?

nope, its air bouncing back from the throttle and going back out the turbo. its essentially air changing direction!

the other flutter you hear on WRC cars are a pop off valve (i think) not to be confused with a blow off valve. i think they go after the throttle body not before it like a BOV does

so how do i get that damn fluttering sound

there is a VERY cheap way to do this.

find the BOV return pipe where it goes back into the intake. remove pipe. insert a coke bottle lid (i found pepsi and fanta were better for performance) and put a clamp over it so it doesnt move. replace pipe. flutter will now occur.

if a coke bottle lid isnt big enough, just put something in there that wont leak or move. but remember to clamp it! you dont want it being sucked into the engine.

An even cheaper way (have you seen the price of coke?) would be to disconnect the vacuum line from the BOV itself. Buy I do not really recommend it - The factory didn't put them in for the sake of it, the pressure reversion isn't healthy for the turbos wellbeing.

that wont work. the spring tension itself without the vacuum line behind it isnt enough to keep it shut all the time. it will open with the boost pressure and also with the sudden pressure increase when the throttle closes

So what do you want? Paddles or a manual??

nyaanyaa all you want bud. Once the front is done, all I will feel is satisfaction when I look at my car... I also take solice in the fact that when you look at your car, all you see is a stoned Pokemon. :ninja:

Fair call - I didn't know if the spring would hold it closed or not.

But the point about keeping one in use remains!

    • I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp
    • Forgot to mention that these are the before pics when I first got it!
    • Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆
    • Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
