haha this thread is interesting lots of different opinions . :closedeyes: But seriously the flutter sound is for PURE wank factor. Seen a guy in sydney city yesterday with the flutter on his r33 f**k it was loud and yes everyone which was walking turned around to look at the car i sure did heard the car a couple of streets away before it turned the corner. When you think about it all atmo BOV are for wank factor some more then others this is probably the 20th time i have seen a thread about BOV and everytime its the same shit.

Or you can do what i've done, you can take the gasket out of your BOV and replace it with a solid gasket (mine is cut out of tin), drill teh holes and put it in there....BOV is completely closed off and forces turbo flutter the proper way :P lol

For f**ks sake man....

Yes you can put a piece of aluminium can in between the flange connection if you want, so that the air returns back through the turbo just to create a bit of noise.

I can also drive my car off a cliff if I wanted to, but it doesn't make it a good idea. That's my point, I don't give a f**k what you do to your car, but I'd like people to show just a bit of common sense if they are thinking about doing something with a negative impact.

LOL dude just relax, someone was asking a question, no need to get worked up. I have my stock BOV blocked off simply so i get turbo flutter, it may or may not damage my turbo, i am not sure.

However, turbo flutter is personal choice. I personally like the sound of turbo flutter, you may not. It's personal taste!

So just take a chill pill mannnggggg

HAHAHA settle down ey no need to get so fired up i didnt say i wanted to do it i CLEARLY asked if it was a good idea or not...and now i know..cheers

+ get over your big expensive turbo!!

Erm yeah, cos I'm totally in love with it hey, I love talking it up at every opportunity

/sarcasm

I was just making the point that even by not blocking my bov off I get the flutter, and that is due to the size of it. On larger turbos with bigger compressor wheels they might have the same effect too, but it sounds a lot different to the flutter on a blocked bov running less boost. All I was doing was suggesting you don't do it, but like I said I don't give a f**k what you do to your car because it's your choice.

so flutter is gay... EXCEPT if its YOUR bigger turbo? :D

and if its slowing the turbo down, and damaging it like you claim, why do you let yours do it? :blink:

What the f**k is wrong with you?? Read my replies properly & actually think about it if you really want to attack every one I make to make yourself seem cool. Do that, and you would realise I am talking about completely blocking off the bov, the flutter you get from that, especially when you are running a relatively low boost level. The flutter my car makes isn't all the air going back through, just some of it that isn't really avoidable. In other words purely for the hope you now understand, it's not enough air going back through for me to consider it a dangerous level.

Yeah they asked the question so I gave my opinion, of which plenty of people agree with. I agree it is down to personal choice, but I'm only letting people know that it's not really worth it. You do know this is a forum in which peoples opinions are discussed about different topics right? I hardly call that getting worked up :)

      Are you an oil nerd?

      I think the concept is highlighting the various scenarios where thicker oil helps, and thicker oil potentially doesn't help and only generates heat and costs power, in turn for safety which isn't actually any safer (unless you're going real hot). If anything this does highlight why throwing Castrol 10w-60 for your track days is always a solid, safe bet.

      Jason should have shown a real viscosity vs temp chart. All the grades have very little viscosity difference at full operating temperature.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Yep, if you are applying filler it sounds like there is something wrong with the body lol. Safe to assume there is going to be a lot of sanding going on if your still applying fillers.  Picture a perfect bare metal panel, smooth as glass. You lay down your primer, it's perfect. (why are you going to sand it?) You lay down the colour and clear, it's perfect. No sanding at all took place and you've got a perfectly finished panel.  You won't be chasing your tail, sounds like you were prepping to start laying filler. If your happy with the body after the sanding, there is some bare metal exposed and some areas with primer, no issues at all, start laying the filler. You are safe to lay filler on bare metal or primer (of course check your technical data sheet as usual for what your filler is happy to adhere to).  This isn't a 100% correct statement. There is primer that is happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. There are fillers that are happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. Just make sure you're using the right materials for the job.  Typically if you are using filler, you would go primer, colour and clear. I've never seen any instances before where someone has laid colour over body filler (maybe this happens, but I haven't seen it before). So your plan sounds pretty normal to me.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I don't think there's any way someone is push starting this car.. I honestly can barely move it, and moving it and steering it is just flat out not possible. I'm sure it is, but needs a bigger man than me. I have a refurbished starter now. The starter man was quite clear and consise showing me how nothing inside a starter really should contribute to slow cranking, and turned out that for the most part... my starter was entirely fine. Still, some of the wear items were replaced and luckily it didn't show any signs of getting too hot, being unfit for use, etc. Which is 'good'. I also noticed the starter definitely sounded different, which is a bit odd considering nothing should have really changed there.... Removed and refit, and we'll pretend one of the manifold bolts didn't fully tighten up and is only "pretty" tight. GM only wants 18ft/lb anyway. I also found a way to properly get my analog wideband reading very slightly leaner than the serial wideband. There's Greg related reasons for this. The serial output is the absolute source of truth, but it is a total asshole to actually stay connected and needs a laptop. The analog input does not, and works with standalone datalogging. Previously the analog input read slightly richer, but if I am aiming at 12.7 I do not want one of the widebands to be saying 12.7 when the source of truth is 13.0. Now the source of truth will be 12.65 and the Analog Wideband will read 12.7. So when I tune to 12.7 it'll be ever so slightly safer. While messing with all of this and idling extensively I can confirm my car seems to restart better while hot now. I did add an old Skyline battery cable between the head and the body though, though now I really realise I should have chosen the frame. Maybe that's a future job. The internet would have you believe that this is caused by bad grounds. In finding out where my grounds actually were I found out the engine bay battery post actually goes to the engine, as well as a seperate one (from the post) to the body of the car. So now there's a third one making the Grounding Triangle which is now a thing. I also from extensive idling have this graph. Temperature (°C) Voltage (V) 85 1.59 80 1.74 75 1.94 70 2.1 65 2.33 60 2.56 55 2.78 50 2.98 45 3.23 40 3.51 35 3.75 30 4.00   Plotted it looks like this. Which is actually... pretty linear? I have not actually put the formula into HPTuners. I will have to re-engage brain and/or re-engage the people who wanted more data to magically do it for me. Tune should be good for the 30th!
