Hi all will turbo flutter kill my turbo or is it ok because I love the sound

LOL - the scientific name for turbo flutter is compressor surge. Search it in google - it's not good for your turbo but its not as dramatic as some people make it!

Surge or stall? I thought its stalling the compressor as the air is traveling back through the compressor wheel. I thiught compressor surge is when the turbo is surging before coming onto boost.

Compressor surge occurs when the compressor turbine is chopping up excess air which is stored in the compressor housing - occurs when you change gears because the motor rejects the airflow... ;)

Love the sound but hate when people completely over do it and it gets screechy and long...

Yeah, it sounds Wicked, for about five minutes or untill Mr Police Man says Allo Allo, which ever comes first.

Slows the turbo down so when you change gear you have extra spooling to do before you're on boost again.

Noisey, slow and PoPo.

Recommend. :wacko:

I don't know about you guys ? You the attitude that well it sounds great so lets do it more ///

For starters the compressor blades would not have equall loading so that induces unbalanced gyroscopic forces 90 degrees in the drirection of rotation, that in laymans terms means at 100,000 rpm the shaft is trying to tear it's self out sideways from the housing. Now that means bearing loads increase and bending moments on the shaft increase. Even if you look at the formula's and simplify it, the force goes up with the square of the speed, look at the speed it's rotating? Golfer know swing faster and hit the ball further, well go figure a hundred thousand rpm or more. You will figure it out in a short enough time ! and we haven't even looked at the unequally loaded blades that are trying to bend off . Yah do it some more !

    • Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting    
    • The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.
    • Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.
    • Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.
    • yeaaa that's why I haven't done any wiring to the stock ecu harness because I have the haltech, but then that leads me to the other question of "is the pnp harness really plug and play?" or would I have to still switch some pins/wires over because the pnp is for the rb25det neo harness, and not for the rb20de neo harness. was really hoping to find something to spoon feed me since so many people have done rb20neo + t conversions, but man this is rough.
