Hi all.

Tried to search for the issue, but I didn't have much luck finding anything relating directly to my issue.

Car has a stock blow off valve, plumbed back. Decided to make a plate to block it off, you know for flutter/dose/compressor surge whatever you want to call it.

Car runs great, starts fine, idles fine, holds boost, flutters...

But if I am idling and rev it slightly, then take my foot off the throttle, it hunts for a while then goes back to idling fine. Sometimes it drops to 100-200 rpm, sometimes just to 600, stalled a couple times. It doesn't ALWAYS do it. It is mainly a concern when I am in traffic and need to move forward slightly. Black smoke also comes out the exhaust when hunting. Rich?

Is it because it was tuned with the plumb back blow off and it is expecting that air for idle and isn't receiving it? I have blocked the vacuum line going to the bov and the plumb back pipe. I haven't tried plumbing the bov back in and taking out the blanking plate. Will do that soon and report back.

It's because of the reverberation caused affecting the afm.

The ecu sees it as more airflow and adds fuel.

Flutters are not cool enough to put up with your car running shit.

Or plumb it back and live a happy life. :)

this...seems pretty simple to me mate...you changed something and it made it worse...

Now 'Im not the sharpest tool in the shed but i'd thunk the smart thing to do would be change it back ;)

Mine fluttered with an AFM, had the bov plumbed straight into the intake pipe at 90 degrees, not facing the turbo as recommended. Never had any issues

Mine didnt flutter like crazy because I softened the bov but when it did it was fine

If it flutters, the BOV is supposed to be blocked, doesn't matter if it is plumbed or not..

Yeahhhhh.... It will flutter blocked or with the BOV spring tightish. It isnt 'supposed' to be bocked

How do you tighten the BOV spring?

I didn't think the flutter would have have as much as effect as it did on my car, it is a low mount garret with a LARGE FMIC, and no forward facing plenum. So much frikken pipe work, wouldn't have thought it would have made it that far back..

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
