Hey Guys,

I've got a silvertop rb20det - I've asked this question before but never got a proper answer - does anyone know how to get the flutter (intercooler dose) noise

instead of the stock 'pssshht' noise?? Has anyone experimented and got results? People have said 'bigger cooler, more boost' but I'm pretty certain that's not the case!

Any ideas?

Cheers

the sound u can hear is called compressor surge or compressor stall.... what it is is compressed air trying to come out of the air inlet on your turbo and hence trying to stop the wheels spinning... mainly cause u are using a small bov or no bov or have it set too tight.... this causes excessive pressure on your turbo and can cause premature failure due to excessive load caused by the stalling..... most cars will have a bit which is ok but if it happens alot and at high boost levels id look into getting a better bov....

basically what im trying to say is if u want the noise tighten up your bov or block it off though i dont advise this cause of the afforementioned circumstances.... dunno if that helps or not.... cheers Jon

Steel, just make a cut out, this is not dangerous btw! Been running my car like this for 2 years without a bov at 14psi!

Hmm.. so do I remove the stock bov - by undoing those two bolts? then take that off and put a steel cut out in it's position? Is that right??

I've never removed the standard bov before - so don't really know what to expect!

Cheers

this is a very debatable issue as to weather or not it causes dramas with bearing wear etc ..... but after spending 2k on a turbo id hate to have a warranty voided by just wanting a "cool" sound.... its not worth it in my eyes.... but having said that ca18det's dont have a bov std and neither do alot of opther cars... but rb's have them for a reason and ill keep mine that way...

BelGarien has a nice flutter affect in his BOV , he has a HKS SSQ and he has just removed the fins , I think he said , you may have to ask what he did exactly but I do know that he still has his BOV on

Nope, though its probably best not to do it on a standard turbo. I dont really mind who does or does not do it. Fact is I have always done it, for no real reason but its been fine. Benny boy at Race Pace aint fussed either way so nor am I.

Yer i did it and my turbo went bang :( probably would have happened regardless though as was running more boost.

I also did what steve did although i refitted the bov on top after i had put a steel plate over it. Then you have to block up two holes, a bolt works good on the smaller one and the end of a broom worked a treat on the other one. hehehehe :) weeeeeeeeeeee vromm chh chh chh chh

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
