Hey pplz

Yesterday I went shopping for a sub and ended up talking to a few ppl about my r34 etc. one of the blokes ended up flutering my turbo to make the sequential noise which I think sounds quite nice. All he did was unplugged a hose from blowoff valve and put a screw in there. He said that for rollerbearing turbo its fine as he has r34 turbo on his r33 and hes done the same.

Should I keep it this way or is he wrong and this could damage my turbo among other things?

please someone let me know =)

thanks guys

thanks for the links man but before you actually post them, read carefully the actual point i'm trying to put across... ROLLERBEARING turbo... flutter using a screw.. not fluttering cose of a problem with the engine.

as said, please let me know guys if this is a safe practice...

Flutter noise aka compression surge, the air going back through the turbo. Some people say its bad for your turbo, but there is no proven fact it is. My mate run no bov on his r33 for few years making that fluter noise and never had a problem. Yes it does slow the turbo down on gear changes, doesnt matter what kind it is.

Hey DarkZero, can you please elaborate on what was actually done? Perhaps with a photo if possible... this sounds quite interesting.

pavel, what do you mean by "slows the turbo down"?

Thanks all :P

if you dont have a BOV the turbo is pushing air into the motor at say 10PSI. When you take your foot off the accelerator the air has nowhere to go, so it tries to go back through the turbo hence the "HECTICT DOSES" of flutter.

It doesnt increase power, the air trying to go back past the turbo slows it down, therefore it could create more turbo lag because your trying to spin the turbo the opposite way.

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
