R33 Stock Bov Flutter Sound - Whaddaya Reckon Of This?

[chilzzi]

Hi all,

Was browsing through some youtube clips and came across this;

part 1

part 2

sounds cool and even better, its legal!

any potential damage or harm done by blocking it off with the tin?

[34GeeTeeTee]

Techinically its not legal as its making noise.... You will soon get over it as it will get old quickly!

This will not get the bishes moist!

[chilzzi]

Was more interested if it does any damage....

[34GeeTeeTee]

To your dignity.... yes....

There are SO many topics on SAU about BOV's and not running them, blanking them etc............

[crashdown]

My understanding is that you could bend your turbo blades. By Blocking off the BOV the built up pressure that normally gets released to atmosphere or recirculated, has nowhere to go but back though your turbo and as such temporarily stalls the compressor, which can bend or brake the blades, and the stalling of the compressor is what gives the flutter sound.

Oh god it happened to another innocent thread.

I heard that Chuck Norris blocked his skyline Nov and the next day he woke up sore and naked in a bed with 3 big black gay men.

Zutututututututututu

The extensive use of the word "youse" dictates the kind of person that should be doing this modification.

Don't do it.

I haz flutterz! Bishes love them Fez!

[AngryRB]

i was getting flutter without blocking the BOV, so going to try a GTR one,

[MBS206]

Flutter is for the win!

Bending blades... LOL

With airbox:

Without airbox lid:

OH MAH GORD BRAHHH TUTUUTUTUTUTUTUTUUTUTUTUTUUTUUT I love these threads

[XGTRX]

To answer the question... no nothing will get damaged.

[Eps]

Compressor surge is not healthy.

[34GeeTeeTee]

Lawl! These threads always deliver!

But the whole flutter thing will soon be annoying for a daily drive!

AND you can get EPA's based on it anyway as its still creating a sound!!

In other words, DONT DO IT!

Compressor surge is not healthy.

flutter is not compressor surge

[Tommmay]

I done the coke can mod

Sure sounds good when the bonnets up

With a standard airbox i cant hear it while driving.. lol

You f*#@Kin idiots..... The 'flutter' sound is called compressor surge. it is NO GOOD for your compressor blades, it slows down your turbo from spooling in between gears and in worst cases, f*#ks up your compressor blades.

Sometimes when people get too ambitious with sizing their aftermarket turbo and get the housing sizes wrong, or over fueling at idle because they didn't reconfigure their fuel map properly after they fit a bigger turbo, compressor surge OR 'flutter' is the result.

The whole purpose of having a BOV is to release the excess boost so it doesnt slow down your turbo in between gears.....its for response.....WTF would you sacrifice response for a sound ?????? fu*kin idiots

Man, I really wish these kids learn about the fundamentals of engine mechanics before they make a total dick of themselves or worse, totally ruin their cars.

No ? Well, you go ahead and flutter away and just dont come back crying when your core bearings and compressor blades are all stuffed. lol
