i know this is silly, but i took the vacume off the bov, so it wouldn't open, and i got teh flutter sound, but the car was soooo lagy and didn't want to boost past 5psi, the dam thing sucked. Is that what normally happens when you block on teh BOV.

mind you i have connected it back up, it was just being silly.???

My understanding on how a BOV works, is that the pressure helps holds the BOV shut. Hense, when there is no pressure working on the BOV at all, it is like you are introducing a big leak.

.............. is there any hope for these people.

can just see this scenerio

import car sales man: " i just need you to listen to this recording before you qualify to own a skyline".

tape recording can be heard........ vuuuuuuuuu tu tu tu tu tu

customer: "wow bru's da iz da shickest sound dis side of chapz ay....."

car sales man: "get out of my shop........"

ohh i see so if i just take of the hose to it, then the car will leak boost as the BOV has no way of being held shut, makes sence, learn something new everytime.

My question is, there are so many cars running arround with an BOV but still have flutter, can this be from an external gate, or the BOV being set to tight?

I have read many posts about the flutter, and was wondering, on the weekend was washing Jumbarie 16 and many of their drag cars had flutter, i presume that flutter was bad, but many people have that flutter sound.

Thats right, you need to pipe connected no matter what or you'll have a mad leak.

The way people block the stock BOV is putting a metal gasket between the return pipe and the BOV, that way the air gets trapped and has nowhere to go but back through the turbo (not good according to lots) and out the air filter.

can be certain that it wasnt the wastegate making that sound....

as for the cars at jambo making that noise..... big compressor + heavy spring on bov = some reversion

as for your normal run of the mill cars that still have a lil bit of reversion, as you said, bov is possible too tight

This guy can relate to "Failing the exam was a hard dose to swallow"

and maybe hes got "the dose" haha refer to "5."

If you unplug the vacuum hose (and not plug up the hose) it wont really work because the standard bov's leak, they have a small hole in em underneath therefore introducing a vac leak so you'd really need to block it either with a plate in between the bov and the pipe its screwed onto or put something in between the hose connected to the bov and the return pipe going to the intake pipe. That works well with no leaks but if you don't have it tuned to compensate for the added fuel it throws in the car will start backfiring on ya cos of the AFM. Thats the only thing i don't like about AFM cars... its the shit you get when messing with vented/ blocked bov's.

I reckon 5 mates packed in the back yelling and screaming and throwing half full cans of beer randomly at cars, bikes , pedestrians and small dogs is a far better way of drawing attention to yourself.

Although if you already have that option get a few off duty barmy army members (they don't have much work on right now) to sing a loud and catchy song about how your mates car goes 'dose' from the back seat of the car, even from inside the boot?

gees, I have absolutely no clue what wastegate flutter is supposed to sound like.....all I know is that people with external wastegate goes like.........vrrrooooooooommmmmm WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so could someone clue me in as in what the flutter is supposed to sound like?.....all the flutters I've heard is from fully sik bro's and their blocked off bov

mythbusters ahoy >_<

#1 there is no such thing as wastegate flutter

#2 flutter or chop chop (vl style tutututututu) is air pressure collisions in the pipework, as a result of compressor surge, as a result of running no bov

#3 a wastegate making a "vrrrooooooooommmmmm WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" noise is a sreamer pipe setup, nothing to do with compressor surge, bovs, flutter etc.

#4 compressor surge occurs when pressure past the compressor wheel exceeds what the map dictates, so if you goes beyond that, the wheel surges violently

#5 when you block the bov, on gearchange the pressure collision causes the compressor wheel to surge, as we know #4 happens when pressure past the wheel goes beyond what the wheel can supply, so by blocking the bov, you induce compressor surge

Yep gotta agree there, to scare ppl....hmm 38mm external gate with a 10" pipe comming off it.....

vrrrooooooooommmmmm WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ppl running holding there ears....nothing like it

to be honest I find it pretty gay........not as gay as vl with their tutus........not my cup of tea

LOLL Its true its just for attention.... no better way to get noticed than dirving around with a tutututut noise comin from your car...

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
