If the wastegate (integral or external) is on the exhaust side...

And the build up air/pressure is on the intake side...

Then... How does the pressurized air from the intake side get to the exhaust side without going through the motor because you have lifted of the throttle?

lemmy try

when u lift off the throttle, build up of pressure happens on the intake side, vaccum line (to register boost pressure) to the wastegate registers pressure pushing on the wastegate diaphram opening it up

but, when we were dyno tuning my car i didnt notice any evidence of this happening while i was watching the wastegate actuator

BTW my comment to drifto was re the bullshit. I must admit that I didn't read his whole post at the time. I have now read it and he seems to have confused wastegate with BOV in his first paragraph.

R31Nismoid you are right to be confused by his post.

that makes it alot more audible as iv noticed

yep, my mates rex didnt make the flutter noise at all, then as he got the fmic he also got that metal pipe... Now it flutters... His pipe also has a 90 degree bend in it which will make the flutter more noticable.

im well aware of that :D

considering the amount of :bs!: on the forums... drifto did well in his post i think

but james... opening the wastegate no worries, but what exhaust is it bypassing if the throttle is shut?

yeah, a little bit... but by no means a lot like an RB at full song :D

and go the metal intake pipe, it rocks.

i say leave the flutter noise for the vls, from wat i know, even if the 'flutter' noise does not damage the turbo(which has yet to b proven), it WILL induce MORE lag than wat the car had wif the factory BOV. it will be especially noticeable will coming on boost and on gear changes, thats y cars hav BOVs to reduce turbo lag, now if u wanna sacrifice that for a pigeon like noise(i dont c why it is so popular) than thats up to u, but i for one prefer a solid pssshhhh.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
