Lol , harsh but understandable responses...i too preferred this sound but once I learnt about the physics of the whole thing , I decided my turbo was more important then a sound. Anyone reasonable will come to the same conclusion. The sound is from the fact that the bov is blocked off/not working correctly , leading to air rushing back towards the turbo when the throttle is closed shut. This hair is chopped up by the blades of the turbo leading to the psh psh psh. If you hear this sound it either means that your bov port is blocked or it isn't working correctly. The pressure on the blades usually doesn't do much but in a series 2 r33 the wheel is ceramic not steel and is more susceptible to being damaged. If you really want the sound , as stated above , all you have to do is block of the bov but this may (and is still highly debated) shorten the life of your turbo , especially if its ceramic wheeled.

I was under the impression that it's only the exhaust side that's ceramic on a R33 turbo?

yes this is correct however there have been many failures , thought to have been caused by a blocked bov on series 2 ceramic wheeled skylines as opposed to much less failures to on the s1's . Like I said its still a hotly debated topic as to whether it does any significant damage (you'l hear the vl guys talk bout their hectic flutter setup running strong for 3 years on the stock turbo)...but Id rather keep away from that , fit a pod and just be content with the "whoosh" sound.

Yeah trying not to start that debate.

But.

How does the air on the intake affect/effect the ceramic blades on the exhaust side?

it shouldnt...at all...as far as i understand..just pointing out that for some reason the ceramic wheeled turbos arent that tolerable as the completely steel wheeled ones... Id lean towards the compressor wheel being made of nylon in the s2 having something to do with it as well.

if im spewing wrong info , il be more then happy to be corrected as I am fairly new to skylines myself.

Nylon is very very strong. Frankly, I have my doubts that air flowing back through the compressor will do any damage, as there is no load on anything. Actual compressor surge which occurs on throttle when the engine can't consume the air being generated by the turbo; that I could understand how it would damage things as there is significant load on the turbine and therefore the compressor.

But when the shaft is just free-wheeling in decel and off-throttle situations, there is very little resistance to the air flowing backwards. Perhaps on already weakened blades it might put enough stress on them to be the final straw on the camels back to cause major damage, but otherwise the wheels should be built to handle much more stress. The only harm I can see it doing is to performance.

And performance is good. Don't do flutter kids.

i for one would like to see these failures.... i have been around sau for quite a while now and i don't recall ever seeing 1 confirmed failure caused by a blocked bov.

also let's not forget R31 and Cefiro RB20 motors never had a bov from factory...

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

      By silviaz · Posted

      So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.

      Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.

      You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
