It's called 'dosing' in the VL world, also know as 'flutters', but around here it's best described as 'compressor surge'.

It's the sound of the air bouncing off the turbine blades when the butterfly to the intake plenum is closed. Normally all this pressurised air get's released by the Blow Off Valve, but if you don't have one, it does that.

Different length, shape and designs of pipes make different noises...

It's either a HKS Super Sequential BOV or some cheap ass BOV or like what others have said compressor surge.

HKS Super Sequential BOV = Wank (Only useful on highly tuned cars that are running a lot of boost and the stock one cannot handle it any more)

Compressor Surge = Say goodbye to your turbo.

Is that the HKS SSQV BoV? I've been trying to convince a mate to buy one for his evo, but all the vids I've seen of it its a sharp, high pitched noise rather than the VL flutter.

Just curious, is "dosing" unique only to the VL, or is there a specific reason VL owners choose it?

Yeah either it's the HKS BOV or like others have said with the metal pipe.

Any turbo car can make the noise, it just depends on the BOV set up or whatever the owner does to it.

The stock BOV should not make any noise, at least no "Stu Tu Tu".

But if you put on an air pod, while still having your stock BOV, you will get a nice "Suction" noise then a "Choo" at the end (Only when on boost).

What the hell is that noise? I've heard it twice now, both times from VLs. Is it some tricked out BoV?

If you ask me I think it sound ridiculous. My girlfriend was in hysterics for about 10min as we drove beside this thing.

Thanks.

LOL! just search "VL turbo dose" on youtube,,theres thousands of videos on that stuff,,apparently they're a favourite with wog guys and their significant others

my ceffy doses like an athlete on the roids, but it comes from factory with no recirculation valve, and still runs stock boost on a stock turbo. all you have to do is take out the intake resonator and bolt in a pod and I get instant flutters.

GAGF if that's bad for the turbo, it came from factory like it and has run for 180,000 kms with no damage to the turbo or engine.

that is incorrect.

the only relation a BOV has to flutter/dosing is whther its blocked or not. the type of flutter/dose depends on the width, length and material of the induction pipe. the turbocharger does play a roll aswell.

all a bov does is hold the air trapped in the piping. so it bounces around and goes back through the turbo, for the turbo wheel fins to chop up and make a stuttered noise.

a SSQV HKS BOV has nothing to do with dosing....its just like any other BOV... but produces a whistle like sound when air goes through it. if you block it off, its the same as your OEM bov and every other blocked bov. does nothing special.

the Dose you hear on VLs sound like stupid dolphins or piegons as you heard.

they run a small metal pipe, no bov, and multiple bends to magnify thehigh pictched stuttered noise.

alot of the high powered veicles in japan and here automaticlly produce this sound as a side affect for high horsepower aplications but usally produce a much deeper tone due to larger turbos.

this is because piping is usally much larger due to larger turbocharges and dont run many bends.

although the title says HKS SSQV, its incorrect.

personally i hate the high pitched doses, which have been attached to wogs and VLs. but i am madly in love with the noise similar to the 650hp R34 GTR videoed above. would prefer it over a OEM "CHOO" or whistle anyday

:P

the vl boys cut a gap in there intercooler piping to put there afm so that there is no restriction between pod and turbo.

using diffrent lengths and angles of piping gives diffrent pitch noises.

alot of the guys that i went drifting with on the track a while ago had it, sounds sick when your using your accelerator to control the slide.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
