Hahah yeah i think dose is a pretty funny word lol but how it is related to flutter i do not know....

Why not make a 'dose pipe'?

I think that turbo cars that dont make any noise are just plain boring. >_<

*awaits flamage*

I think "dose pipe" is as funny as hell but it's an open forum and I'm sick of seeing new users hammered for asking questions or having different views to the majority :)

I dare you to join the minority group and see what happens to YOU :sorcerer:

Dose pipes, metal intake pipes, flutter.. it all means the same thing --- SSoooOTuTuTuTuTU!!

Who cares that you get defected for it, if you drive a skyline and a cop makes you pop your bonnet you get done for any stupid thing they feel like pickin on anyway...Mehhh!

PS-don't need to get off the topic and add other bs, relate your post to my original topic thats on page ONE!

I have one of those apexi metal intake pipes, I can confirm that the intake noise is louder than a plastic one. It is also more high pitched.

I tried blocking the BOV off, and yes full hektic flutter was abundant. But I wa not a fan of the overfueling, stalling and whatnot.

if it's being detrimental to my car, then the care factor is f*cking huge.

Couldn't think of anything worse that to intentially create mechanical problems to my car

What mechanical problems does a metal intake pipe create for your car?

he is talking about leaving the bov blocked off and lettting it surge its ass off every time the throttle body closes

it's arguable that letting the compressor surge its ass off every time causes damage, i agree

do a survey of 100 vl turbos with captain insano surge and ask them how many have done turbo rebuilds

care factor. soo! soo! soOOkutukutukutututu...

:ermm:

So are you going to post anything of interest or a bunch of letters each time?

Pointless threads get sent to the wasteland, and this isnt far from it now

I run a 6 inch straight metal pipe off the turbo with a small filter on the end, I beleive it should "by theory" suck in more cool air than my last setup which was a pod filter fitted up near where the standard airbox was mounted. The piping to the pod was mostly steel apart from 1 90degree bend which was rubber. Im still yet to test to see if the straight pipe is more responsive because my clutch is slipping so I don't want to drive it on boost till I get a new one.

And yes it makes it sound exactly like a vl turbo, its "doses" are insanely loud, too loud sometimes when you just want to drive normally.

Oh and I run after market computer so no afm and blocked bov - hence the very loud flutters.

    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
