After takin the ceffy to the pits today they have told me i need to "rectify loud induction noise" or the flutter on gear changes. I have an FMIC and a M's pod filter and space is extremely tight . Is there any way i can muffle the fluffer so its not so loud?

Its only on stock boost and i dont have space to build an enclosure around the pod.

Hopefully there is another way other than fittin all stock gear back on again cos for a start i dont have any of it

cheers mike

I had wicked induction noise on my cefi with standard turbo, standard boost and a HKS pod. I even put on a new pod and it was still too loud for them. basically i said it was complied like this and never came with an airbox so this level of noise must be acceptable.

Fight it :wave:

^^^ that seems right - i wouldnt diconnect the actuator rod - uncontrolled boost levels

the turbo will still spool even if the wastegate is not connected and could potentially damage your turb

ohh and rb20det ceffs never came with a factory BOV

Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldnt that let the boost rise uncontrollably? ie. unhooking actuator rod means wastegate stays closed???

That's what I first thought, but that is what would happen if you disconnected the actuator hose, ie the spring would just hold it closed. if you take the rod off, the spring is doing nothing and the wastegate flap just swings around, and would open with no effort.

yeh at first i thought woud just make uncontrolable boost, then i thought about it some more if i disconnect the rod then jammed the wastegate open sum how then the turbo wod make no boost, car woud b a bit of a pig as a boost woud b just gettin blown straight out the wastegate hole. Ony thing i am worried about is the turbo could b free spinning and could damage it??.

Jai i tried arguin that point aready but the pit guy wouldnt have it his words were "well i could pass it like that but then u woud go gunnin down the road straight past mr plod then there is a big wooshy noise u get puled over a yellowed and ur back here again"

Just un hook the actuator rod, easy fix. Just make sure you dont loose the little circlip, but if you do just use some fine wire to hold it on. If you cant take the rod off lossen to two 12mm bolts on the actuator rod bracket.

Location of bov is also pretty critical if not using the factory location.. the genius that put the R2D2 on my car put it under the front right guard, leaving a good 1.5-2m of piping before the throttlebody. At light throttling-off I get massive flutter :) can probably adjust the bov but I cbf and will deal until I get the stocker on.

    • So it's a ginormous undertaking that will be a massive headache but will be sorta cool if pulled off right. And also expensive. I'm sure it'll be as expensive as buying the car itself. I don't think you could just do this build without upgrading other things to take the extra power. Probably lots of custom stuff as well. All this assuming the person has mechanical knowledge. I'm stupid enough to try it but smart enough to realize there's gonna be mistakes even with an experienced mechanic. I'm a young bloke on minimum wage that gets dopamine from air being moved around and got his knowledge from a Donut video on how engines work.]   Thanks for the response though super informative!
    • Yes, it is entirely possible to twincharge a Skyline. It is not....without problems though. There was a guy did it to an SOHC RB30 (and I think maybe it became or already was a 25/30) in a VL Commode. It was a monster. The idea is that you can run both compressors at relatively low pressure ratios, yet still end up with a quite large total pressure ratio because they multiply, not add, boost levels. So, if the blower is spun to give a 1.4:1 PR (ie, it would make ~40 kPa of boost on its own) and the turbo is set up to give a 1.4:1 PR also, then you don't get 40+40 = 80 kPa of boost, you get 1.4*1.4, which is pretty close to 100 kPa of boost. It's free real estate! This only gets better as the PRs increase. If both are set up to yield about 1.7 PR, which is only about 70 kPa or 10ish psi of boost each, you actually end up with about 1.9 bar of boost! So, inevitably it was a bit of a monster. The blower is set up as the 2nd compressor, closest to the motor, because it is a positive displacement unit, so to get the benefit of putting it in series with another compressor, it has to go second. If you put it first, it has to be bigger, because it will be breathing air at atmospheric pressure. The turbo's compressor ends up needing to be a lot larger than you'd expect, and optimised to be efficient at large mass flows and low PRs. The turbo's exhaust side needs to be quite relaxed, because it's not trying to provide the power to produce all the boost, and it has to handle ALL the exhaust flow. I think you need a much bigger wastegate than you might expect. Certainly bigger than for an engine just making the same power level turbo only. The blower effectively multiplies the base engine size. So if you put a 1.7 PR blower on a 2.5L Skyline, it's like turboing a 4.2L engine. Easy to make massive power. Plus, because the engine is blown, the blower makes boost before the turbo can even think about making boost, so it's like having that 4.2L engine all the way from idle. Fattens the torque delivery up massively. But, there are downsides. The first is trying to work out how to size the turbo according to the above. The second is that you pretty much have to give up on aircon. There's not enough space to mount everything you need. You might be able to go elec power steering pump, hidden away somewhere. but it would still be a struggle to get both the AC and the blower on the same side of the engine. Then, you have to ponder whether you want to truly intercool the thing. Ideally you would put a cooler between the turbo and the blower, so as to drop the heat out of it and gain even more benefit from the blower's positive displacement nature. But that would really need to be a water to air core, because you're never going to find enough room to run 2 sets of boost pipes out to air to air cores in the front of the car. But you still need to aftercool after the blower, because both these compressors will add a lot of heat, and you wil have the same temperature (more or less) as if you produced all that boost with a single stage, and no one in their right mind would try to run a petrol engine on high boost without a cooler (unless not using petrol, which we shall ignore for the moment). I'm of the opinnion that 2x water to air cores in the bay and 2x HXs out the front is probably the only sensible way to avoid wasting a lot of room trying to fit in long runs of boost pipe. But the struggle to locate everything in the limited space available would still be a pretty bad optimisation problem. If it was an OEM, they'd throw 20 engineers at it for a year and let them test out 30 ideas before deciding on the best layout. And they'd have the freedom to develop bespoke castings and the like, for manifolds, housings, connecting pipes to/from compressors and cores. A single person in a garage can either have one shot at it and live with the result, or spend 5 years trying to get it right.
    • Good to know, thank you!
    • It's a place for non car talk. There's whoretown which is general shit talking. But also other threads coving all sorts of stuff(a lot still semi car related)
    • Looked it up. It sounds so expensive lmao I'd rather not. Awwwww but I just love that sound
