Just wondering if anyone knows how to get that wicked 'flutter' sound, when backing of the throttle on a turbo. Im not sure, but I think it may be the wastgate? Or is it a particular type of BOV? Heaps of tough VL RB30's do it, specially that yellow Bresciani racing monster!

Block off you blow off valves so that all waste air from closing the throttle has to go back through the compressors on your turbos. This will cause massive surging to your turbos - some people say it damages them - and make that flutter sound. Problem is you slow the turbos down every time you hear it, causing it to take longer to get back on boost.

In short it isn't the sound of an effective street turbo setup unfortunately.

Yeah my car makes that noise, u just have to push it really hard to get it. Reason mine does it is that my stock BOV cant support the ammount of boost im running. Its not good for the turbo so dont do it. Need to find me some Twin GT-R BOV's.

Im puttin one of those new exhaust tips on so it goes, wooo wooooo wooo woooooooo

pwwahaha "das early in the mornin , got be up cooking breakfast by den" magic !wonder if my bovs will make it on sandra sully's table this arvo ?

i just bought a new stock bov coz the stock one that was on the car when i bought it had been welded shut to stop it from opening

i'll take a pic tonight of the bottom of it to give you an idea..... sounds cool for a bit, but you get sick of it lol, and it does slow you down, coz the turbo almost needs to respool after every gear change.

mine flutters with a turbosmart BOV.. the tension in the spring is just a little tighter so that the air cant hold the piston open for long, so it does lots of little sharp bursts

only does it when you ease off the throttle tho, when you let off fully its just a normal bov sound

Yeah, when I took my car for a drive once it was cleared by customs it made that sound, turns out there was a screw in the stock bov, so they had blocked it off for that sound. Sound was sweet, but does the turbo no good. I haven't heard the sequential bov, would it make a similar sound though????

I CALL BULLSHIT

Bullshit yourself mate, you dont know anything about my car. A stock BOV cant handle 17 Pounds of boost...

Damn i didnt know people were so dumb in western australia, guess its true what they say

Considering most stock bov's leak in between 12-15psi, that's where the bullshit factor come into it, and if you're not bullshitting your losing power. I'm sure running 17psi with it is doing your turbo a world of good too.

    • H2 (for cars) will never happen. It's not reasonable for any number of reasons. It's also not reasonable for almost all of the industrial uses that the fanbois say that it will be used for, again for a large number of reasons. There are some cases where it will be good. But, even those will be massively hampered by the economics. The only way that H2 can be economic is if we somehow manage to get from where we are to the other side of the economic-valley-of-death in which no-one can operate. You need there to be sufficient renewable generated electricity to be available so that it is effectively free. Once you are there, you can do whatever the hell you want and hang the efficiency. But until you get there, the ever diminishing value of electricity makes it harder and harder to encourage businesses to build the new generation capacity, and they will simply stop investing in generation projects. (I kinda think there needs to be just government money spent on building the required capacity in a non-commercial way, similar to how the first fossil fueled grids were built, as national-government owned utilities. And probably some nuclear in there to start. But this all should have started 10-15 years ago to avoid the chasm of death that we face right now). Synth fuels will be much more likely, but will only occur is there is at least some renewable H2 production, because you need H2 to do it. And you need stacks of free (or at least extraordinarily cheap) energy because assembling molecules back into fuels is exactly the opposite process to burning the fuel, and the reason we burn fuels is because there is so much energy squeezed into each molecule. So you're somewhat subject to the same economic valley of death problem as above anyway. That is unless people are willing to pay the current equivalent of $5 or $6 per litre of petrol-ish liquid fuels. Can you imagine it? The squealing at $2 now is bad enough.
    • This is so cool. Get a dashcam that records audio and hopefully you'll catch it.  Maybe there's a brand or some kind of markings on the back ? Are the pics hand drawn? I love it so much.
    • Hahaha yep, point(s) taken. I just like seeing different things and an EV in an R32 is pretty different. I'm not on the EV band wagon, I'm waiting for synthetic fuels or hydrogen personally. 
    • I mean it's probably likely that people overestimate their skills in dialling in a setup and noticing the changes. I had SK shocks and springs, and added heavier springs and got them revalved by Sydney Shocks to suit based upon what I told them I wanted the car to handle like. I got back a completely different feeling set of shocks, which probably (?) feel great on track but holy hell are they rough on tram tracks and the like. The shock dyno actually looks pretty similar to Shockworks (from what I can surmise from a screenshot of a youtube video - and my dyno printout...) Truth be told I doubt I'd be any faster or slower with either setup, or camber/castor combination. I also had whiteline eccentric castor bushes up front of my R34. I removed them and put in poly non-adjustable ones to soothe my OCD (nobody ever set the castor the same side to side, and it'd be near impossible to do) and be happy the wheel is centered in the well now for clearance reasons. Yes I wanted it to move 1mm 'back' :p I've effectively set my castor back to stock, negating all the benefits of that which is supposedly massive. I've probably also altered toe and camber in a negative (detrimental) way. I can't tell any difference steering the car.
