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

      LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy

      If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.

      Rapid-fire squeaking/creaking from rear suspension

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.

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

      Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
