Theres nothing wrong with 'dosing' and it won't wreck your turbo, as long as you're not being like a VL driving dickhead and deliberately stuffing around with your intake piping to get the most ridiculous noise possible.

I had a Turbosmart Atmo BOV originally fitted on mine, which got a lot of cop hassles, so went for a standard BOV blocked off, and it sounds a LOT better than a standard recirc BOV, which again sounds better than one of those utterly gay need for speed style SSQV's.

i have a 2835 with a stainless induction setup, but in a cold air box with a CAI.... when i blocked off the bov to rule it out as a possible leak, it made the full on VLT dose.....

put that bov back on REAL quick....! :)

dude... the Polarizer was the part which made the HDT's so special! That and having to run 22psi in the tyres for it to work, and not tampering with or removing it, so that the positive vibrations could flow throughout the car and turn a family sedan into a track warrior! I'm still hanging out to drive a Polarizer equipped HDT to feel the awesomeness :blink:

I dose all day all night on 18PSI, haven't seen the turbo die yet. Stock intake pipe, stock crossover pipe, GReddy TypeS BOV wound in so hard I might has well not have it there.

and no, I didn't use a HKS SSQV, that has no effect to dosing, unless the piston snapped and the BOV is now not functiuonal

dose ftw.

no BOV, big front mount, steel pipe off the turbo. the loud high pitched dose is normally curteousy of a 2.5" straight pipe straight off the turbo, when you start adding bends, and go to bigger pipes, the sound normally gets deeper.

the AFM being moved to the cooler piping is to stop stalling from the air reverberating through the AFM

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.

i dont see how its so funny? it sounds mint

To the ignorant it sounds like a really wimpy/silly sound to come out of what looks like a tough car.

Like WRXs and EVO's, except they look like a girl's ride with girly ricey sneezies.

Do agree though, that fully hektik sound doesnt match the VLs. Something you'dexpect from Jap imports?

lol they are morons then.

+1

if that's all you're buying the car for then... fail.

ive had mine blocked off for a while now, doesn't make high pitched noises, just a clean whoosh sorta flutter. reason why i have it is that i noticed through hills/track, when changing gears it holds more pressure in the pipe and you get faster spool in to next gear but only high up in the revs as the air gets trapped and not released straight away.

lots of people say different things, this is just form personal experience.

here is my old car fluttering and doing its thing.

fluttered the entire two years that i had it. absolutely no damage to the car/turbo whatsoever. it fluttered so loud because of numerous induction mods and very high boost. factory blow off valve gave up but replaced with an aftermarket plumb back.

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
