What is flutter dump? the otherday a r33 blew past me and did this i wana know how to do this

thanks :)

Are you referring to the blow off valve noise or "turbo dose" noise?

If so here's a thread all about it.

i didnt think it was even possible to get wastegate flutter. I think you may be meaning an external wastegate? if the car was really loud going past while on boost, it would be that. its a screamer pipe that goes onto the wastegate. this is illegal to have, but on the right setup it sounds good.

Flutterdump is when the BOV is a cheap POS or the spring in the BOV is too stiff and U back off and it starts fluttering then the BOV vents. It's considered a problem and can be fixed with a much softer spring. As long as the BOV is plumbed back like it should be, it can be soft enough to stay open on idle without and probs. As soon as U give it the tinyest bit of throttle, it slams shut.

    • FWIW, I've aerated oil, and cams snapped. You can figure out the rest 🥲
    • Depending on the hose, sometimes engine out is the easiest option  
    • Get an inspection camera up there. 
    • Yeah, but look at the margin in viscosity between the 40 and the 60 at 125°C. It is not very large. It is the difference between 7 and 11 cP. Compare that to the viscosity at only 90°C. The viscosity axis is logarithmic. The numbers at 90 are ~15 and ~35. That is about half for the 40 wt oil and <half for the 60. You give up viscosity EXPONENTIALLY as temperature rises. Literally. That is why I declare thicker oil to be a bandaid, and a brittle one at that. Keep the oil temperature under about 110°C and you should be better off.   Having said all of that, which remains true as a general principle, if you have indeed lost enough oil from the sump that the pump was seeing slightly aerated oil, then all bets are off. That would of course cause oil pressure to collapse. And 35 psi is a collapse given what you were doing to the engine. Especially if the oil was that hot and viscosity had also collapsed. And I would put money on rod or main bearings being the source of the any noise that registered as knock. Hydraulic lifters should be able to cope with the hotter oil and lower pressure enough to prvent too much high frequency noise, although I am willing to admit it could be the source.
