Hey All.. A Concept that I've been familiar with, but never gone into ... is Adjusting the Stock BOV to get a 'fluttering' sound..

Apparently you block something.. but as I've not given any thought into it.. I've not tried anything..

So Does anyone know what the go is with adjusting your stock BOV to get a Fluttering sound?

Cheers..

U sure ur not refereing to blocking off the BOV, so it gets bypassed and all u get the 'fluttering' of the cooler? I tried that on mine, waste of time really, u loose all the responsiveness, and the tiny stocky cooler doesnt really sound 'fully sik'!

you block the return pipe form the bov, and due to the fact the air can't escape it goes back through the turbine, which is bad for your turbo so i suggest you do not do it! the fluttering sound is called compressor surge! sometimes you can get the flutter sound because your bov isn't tight enough but that is only for aftermarket bov's, this is why vl turbos, the early ca18 silvias make this flutter noise because they never came out with a standard bov :) this would be the 50 millionth time this has been explained

adrian :)

p.s:- never thought a 17 yr old would be explaining this to older people :)

why not just keep the standard bov. You get a nice sound with a pod. and if u want get a short alloy pipe from your turbo to replace the rubber hose. sounds even louder when spooling up. or just stick the pod off the turbo like they do on rotors.

either way i'd always go plumb back bov, unless i was running some type of aftermarket management, or safc so i could prevent stalling.

but u can run with no bov. people say its bad for your turbo, that compressor surge. I'd say not entirely true. Depends. If i had an auto i would run no bov. Like a lot of the hot vl turbos. As they just flat to the floor and no taking foot off throttle, thus no pressure being released anyways. And when you take your foot off in an auto, you aren't normally looking to speed up. Cause you dont have to change gears, so basically to slow down, so no lost throttle response. Thats my theory anyways.

but yeah, cars are confusing. so many ways to do stuff, but i say dont fix it unless its broken.

this would be the 50 millionth time this has been explained

first time i've seen it :(

yer, stock BOV makes enough noise.. if you run 12psi or so it sounds cool anyway. That flutter noise is kinda cool when you hear it but then again its also talking to the cops going "canary me, canary me" at the same time.

Lot'a the aftermarket BOV's can do it properly .. so i'd be going for one of them if u really have to have that noise.

agreed.

even with a manual too... cause if you can change quick enough you can catch the boost spike... and then throw the extra few psi down the plenum's throat.

As for it being bad for your turbo... not really THAT bad.

in the end you'll need to have it re-built anyhow. Running no BOV only makes it occur quicker.

But still your turb's will last a few years. It's not as if it'll give up the gohst in 2 weeks.

I don't run a BOV at all. Much prefer to catch the spike and light tyres till 7500 RPM :D

    • HyperGear. Just get a high flow of the stocker. Good, reliable, and should bolt on. Yes it will want things like a retune once done, so you need to factor this in to your spend too.
    • Hi. Iam looking for some "cheaper" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO. I do not want "big" power just better reliability than the stock turbo which is "fot now" good but is old and i do not think it has "easy" life. One the Skyline here running some "temu" china Turbo but i dont trust those... Thanks!

    • That's kind of what I was getting at saying you'd be here soon regarding length etc being able to add additional restriction.  My assumption (possible donkeys of you and mption) is that the length of hose to an oil cooler, and back, isn't going to be that huge of a loss. Typically you're talking about 1.5m of total length. And so far everyone in our world hasn't had issues with oil not being able to get to a cooler and back, it's more been, how the heck do we get the oil out of the head and back down to the bottom? I'd nearly hazard a guess the biggest issue people have with oil cooling and oil supply, is being able to get the heat out at the cooler itself (not enough air flow, too small of a cooler etc) Also, when people mount them wrong and make really awesome air traps so they've dramatically diminished the cooling capacity.
    • I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.
