Hi guys,

I am wanting to get a different BOV but i want the flutter sound valve not the typical whossshh. What are the names and models of any flutter sounding BOV's that you guys know of. And if any of you have one are you willing to swap for an HKS BOV?

your help is much appreciated,

Thanks

JL

I never knew u could buy BOV's which make the flutter sound

ive got a factory bov with an fmic and i get the flutter....pretty sure its only the fmic which makes that noise

Or by removing something around your turbo so air hits it harder or against the wastegate ??? which creates the flutter...

shouldnt cause to much damage

thats same sort of principle for VLs when they wake on a cooler and get flutter

my turbo is still in good nick and thats running some high boost as well

but then again stock skyline turbos r made from pottery clay :-p so i wouldnt really risk it..

nick lets test it on urs :-)

Get a BOV, plumb it back, and get performance out of your car.

I think he's more concerned about the noise his car makes rather than the performance of the thing. :D

runnning no BOV hinders performance... u serious??? haha

Dead serious...... what are you laughing at?

:slap:

*sigh*

well from memory a BOV unless running high boost is not going to improve performance on anything... infact im pretty sure in one of my speed mags where they had a 4 page spread on them and what they do they are only designed to release pressure to extend the life of your turbo.

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
