hay guys still got the flutter proble with my 32 gts-t was watching youtube, there was a car doing the same thing as mine it is called compressor surge dose anyone know how to fix this proble? is it because my turbo is boosting 2 hard 4 my car?

my mods are power fc,z32, fuel pump, adjustable cam gears, gtr injectors, and a vg30 turbo witch has been complete rebuilt duno the specs.

put a plum-back/recirc BOV on it.

Simple.

Thats pretty much your answer.

Reason you are getting the 'Dose' noise is because the air is being pushed back into the turbo = Compressor Surge.

The whole point of the standard plum-back / recirculate BOV is to prevent Compressor Surge. Air gets pushed into the intake not the turbo.

You DON"T want Compressor Surge or say good buy to your turbo.

Please explain how "flutterz" does fuly sik damagez to the turbo?

Turbos are designed to flow uni directionally, IE, no matter how much air you force backwards through a turbo, it won't move, it'll sit still. Force air the other way, and it'll spin. So really, flutterz can't even slow the turbo down... What does slow it down is the fact the waste gate stays open the whole gear shift IF you don't run the pressure source off the manifold... :blink:

I run a T04R on my R33, and have ZERO lag or anything between gearshifts, and I have NO BOV, purely because I run my pressure source off my manifold.

Geez, compressor surge while loaded up.. havent seen many of those on the dyno..

but its generally when the compressor wheel supplies more air than the engine can actually swallow which does happen...

Bov wont fix it... ive read alot of articles on this sorta stuff, but havent ever put any into practice... i reckon try with lower boost settings, or change the turbo...

Its generally because the inlet wont allow more air in, so it reverts back the other way n causes the flutter on load.. :blink:

Compressor surge: You can think or surge as the point at which the compressor blades begin to “slip” in the air, losing their pumping ability, much like an aircraft wing loses its lift when it stalls. In a turbo, this happens in a series of bursts, as the blades slip, then bite, slip then bite. This sets up a pulsing wave in the turbo piping and explains why the sound has that characteristic “flutter”.

The interesting thing about compressor surge is that it occurs much more readily at low turbo shaft speeds. At these low shaft speeds, on road cars this is generally between 2000 and 3000 RPM, compressor surge is not much of a problem, as the loads generated by the surge are miniscule compared to what the turbo encounters at high boost. However, if surge occurs at high RPM and boost, it is possible to reduce the turbo life and/or damage the compressor.

" However, if surge occurs at high RPM and boost, it is possible to reduce the turbo life and/or damage the compressor." okay well question answered i guess however i still hear of many people doing this with larger set-ups with no worries.

bigger cams, ported heads, bigger turbine a/r, smaller compresor a/r are all things you can do to try and get the turbo away from the surge line.

if that doesn't work, you need to select a more apporpriate compressor for the engine airflow characteristics.

my car does this on part throttle around 0-5psi boost, boost just jumps up down constantly, you either have to gun it or downchange to get the load of the engine, really anoying.

if it does it on full throttle, you can cause big trouble and should tend to it immediately.

i'm guessing the turbo you have has some old school t4 compressor wheel on it, designed for low shaft speed, high airflow, when it's mated to a high speed small a/r t3 turbine you can get bad results.

hi

when we speak of compressor surge there are two that come to mind

#1

when you come off the throttle without a BOV the pressure must go somewhere

so it collides midflight and causes a massive pressure spike on the compressor side of the turbocharger

the massive spike in pressure causes the compressor wheel to surge in speed

this is usually seen by the "vl turbo tutu tu tut tutu" noise on gearchange or backing off on the throttle

#2

this is less common but does occur, the compressor wheel goes past its efficency zone

and the speed of the wheel flies past the compressor's fastest's speed

the end result is that pressure past the compressor wheel is higher

than what the compressor can actually supply.

ie the compressor wheel is XYZ variant and can supply 45lbs of airflow at XYZ turbine speed

but it surges as pressure past the compressor wheel is actually 51lbs of airflow, thus the compressor wheel surges

if you have #2 i would check the turbo specs, check your boost control systems

check your intercooler pipework and intercooler core

something is making the pressure spike past what the compressor can supply

if possible measure pressure at plenum and pressure at turbine outlet

The turbo i now have was having this problem, was coming onto boost way to quick, my turbo was back cut so the boost would come on later and stop this happening, here is a link the thread which has all the r&d in it and some usefull info for you http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/35...-9b-t22706.html easiest way to fix it is to either back cut your exhaust wheel or get a good boost controller that you can set up so boost is limited at certain rpm's, mine hits 14psi at about 4300rpm.

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny
