Make an enclosure, use sound deadening sheets and use acoustic foam, the shet you put behind speakers, even add some sound deadening around that area too (the body that is).

That should work :P

well that's my plan, I'm going to get one of those eBay Hi Octane Pod Enclosures, stick on Dynamatt in the inside.

Looks kinda stock, sounds kinda stock, cops will think is is stock

Are you talking about shuffling/reversion noise or just general induction noise?

just the reversion noise (established its not the 'shuffle') i wish i could here the induction noise over it!

i didnt ask my mechanic to make up all the custom piping, and didnt want the aftermarket BOV (even though its plumbed back) but i got it!

i liked the car as i bought it, the induction noise, and the turbos spooling..... now all i here is f*cken Thomas the Tank engine felching away under my hood :)

What ECU are you running?

When I put my -5s in I had the choo choo train badly. However, when I got my Vipec ECU tuned, the choo choo train is gone. It has never returned so it can be tuned out with the right ECU and tuner. And yes, I have FULL HKS hard pipe kit.

Same here, although it was tuned in with a powerfc and tuned out by another tuner.

Clearly some turbos are nearer to causing compressor surge and there are a number of other factors from BOV's, intake piping and tuning that can also bring it on. All things worth checking if you want to be rid of it (or heaven forbid want to bring it on).

i have driven one particular set-up that had it so bad it wasn't funny. it was an RB26 with the large R34 N1s but high mounted with custom piping etc big cams lots of good work but the shuffle my god man! the shuffle. first it sounded like a steam train going up a high. chuff chuff.... chuff chuff...chuff chuff.... chuff chuff...chuff chuff.... chuff chuff... the it would make some little sqwaking noises like it was a spaceship taking off. and from idle to about 6,000rpm it felt like it had all of 50kw max. but from 6,000 to 8,5000rpm it had 380awkw!!! the thing would scare the crap out of you at 6,000rpm as it just took off but it would literally take ages to get there. worst case of shuffle/reversion/whatever you want to call it, that i've ever experienced.

yeah i get that with mine, it does get a little annoying.

i've just learnt to get used to it, i dont have to drive up too many long hills, and if i do i just let it slow down then kick it back a gear and plant it!

induction noise puts a smile on your face!!

mine dissapeared with the fitment of bigger (again) dumps, and the enlargement of the hot side cooler piping while keeping the smaller cold side piping.

I have completely custom piping, no BOV, and two massive pods. My idea was to dampen it with the intercooler and im very happy

hey there,

i have a LINK G4

took it back to my tuner (6 hr drive there, fly back, then fly back up, drive back etc etc) he is considered one, or the best tuner's in the south island (NZ) and told him to retune it, but he still could'nt get rid of it. i told him about going back to original BOV's, or put in a softer spring etc, but he said it would'nt hold at high boost (im running 19.5lbs @ 345AWKW)

i have had so many people tell me what to do, but it's kind of hard to tell someone who's job is it to tune cars to do this-that-and the other, i dont want to offend him aye.

well might try the cold air box theory...

cheers robbie

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.

      spot the stagea

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
