When my R33 GTR comes on boost you can hear the air being sucked in obviously but it sounds as if it is cutting in and out and is making a chopping sound while accelarating on boost. Does anyone have any ideas on what it could be? and is it bad?

The car does not stutter while it is doing this either. My car is standard but the boost restrictors have been taken out.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Called compressor surge.

Search for it and sift your way through the flutter threads, and you will find explanation of this and possible solutions.

I’ve heard having aftermarket bovs on a gtr sometimes causes this.

Stock gtr bovs plumbed back as is from factory seems to fix issue.

If you have stock bovs already, then I’m stumped.

cheers

it could be one of two problems you are seeing. the first one is compressor chuffing or shuffling, where you can hear compressor surging at idle and low rpm, it sounds like talking into back of a fan or a vl turbo style flutter between each of the turbo's. this is commonly associated (that we've seen) with bov changes and/or custom intake piping.

the other one that comes to mind is compressor wheel chopping. my gtst does this. as its coming on boost you can hear like a slicing noise, a bit like a hi speed food processor in coleslaw mode. ive had this since day 0 and a few other gtst have this same behaviour. i dont think its a problem, just an induction noise based on the compressor wheel

I had this same problem with my rb20det. Does it while i accelerate between 3000-4000rpm and more often in a higher gear (etc 5th gear on the highway). I have a adjustment nut on my internal wastgate arm which allows me to turn the boost up without a boostcontroller. What i did was loosen the nut back to standard boost and the problem was fixed. To whether i have a faulty wastegate actuator, ecu cannot handle the amount of psi (11spi) or my turbo is f*cked im not sure. I think that the wastegate is flapping open and closed therefore causing a sudden loss of pressure in the exhaust wheel causing the turbo wheel slow down and the presure built up in the intercooler piping blows back out the turbo (flutter). It is hard to explain.

If anyone else has these problems please post.

^^^ I am pretty sure the BOVs are working but saying that im not 100% i might have to take them off on the weekend and check them out, all the hoses and lines are all connected, as far as i can see anyway. Is there an easy way to get to the BOVs so that i can check them out?

I dont see how it would have anything to do with the BOV. You say that it happens when you are accelerating (ie throttle body is open).

I think ^^^people above are getting mixed up with the flutter noise that happens when take your foot off the accelerator. If that is your problem then i would suggest checking your BOVs.

Pull off your intake pipes and see if there is any shaft play in either of the turbos.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
