mine made the noise ALOT more after i installed my front mount. i also have a APEXi dual chamber BOV and didn't adjust it for the first run after that and it sounded really good but i wouldn't leave it like that.. you'll kill the turbo.

you think about it, the turbo is spinning one way then when you get off the gas all this air has to go somewhere. that place is back through the turbo which is spinning the other way.. thats when you hear the chop noise.

Peformance wise, wouldnt it be better to have a complete plumback system wired to flow back just after the airpod? By doing that wouldn't it reduce turbo lag?

Thats an interesting question. Although, it does sound logical......

Has a plumback system been designed this way? Or anybody using this setup?

Steve.

Yes thats right.

My car came with the factory valves blocked and it was SHIT.

It fluttered and was laggy.

So I had the plumback reinstated and now it works BETTA.

I can't believe that you care about

some poxy sound resulting from a flawed setup, rather than

having you car working properly.

Why don't you make a recording of it and just play it on your stereo?

Or is it for everyone else to hear.

as some were asking before, you need an aftermarket air filter to HEAR the flutter because it has less restriction. you may even have the same flutter with the stock air box, but you just cant hear it. but the sound does come from compressor surge.

r33zilla : you will NOT get flutter with a HKS ssqv, believe me i've been there done that. the ssqv was designed to elimnate EVERY possible effect of compressor surge and flutter, its just the way its engineered and designed. you will only achieve the faintest flutter, which you will barely even hear.

hope that helps

if u have a stock bov, and an air filter with a large surface area such as an HKS or TRUST one u will get little flutter.. But if u got an after market BOV running stock boost and u got an air filter it will flutter pretty loud... The reason y u dont need to remove ur aftermarket BOV is cause the spring inside it is really tight and only releases when ur on high boost (8-12psi or whatever).. The Stock BOV has a very soft spring... Once u get an airfilter ur car should flutter at low revs, but once u get above 5000 rpm, it will go tshhhhhh the normal sound which is normal.. I had a stock R33 and did that and got alot of flutter.. When i put my front mount on it was even louder, and when i changed the piping to stainless steel igot even louder lol!!! It is pretty mad, but be careful with what air filter u buy cause some dont filter as good as others.. But if u just want the sound, defenitely buy a HKS mushroom or a TRUST Arinx one for abt 100 bucks second hand they always for sale.. And changing the stock air filter to the pod is very simple, shouldnt take more than 40 minutes if u got the right tools..

hope that helped..

ahaha this question plagues every forum.

To enhance your 'Flutter'

you will need a AfterMarket POD Filter.

an AfterMarket Intercooler will help amplify the sound

Different sized turbos will also depend on how loud, how deep, how high pitched

The big thing, is having steel piping from the turbo to the pod filter. Usually its plastic from the factory and people rarely change it as its not really necessary... but changing this pipe to a steel one, will help amplify the sound.

People will argue to death that it kills turbos and whatever, and its more laggy all kinds of stuff... and really, its horses for courses - whatever you prefer.

I had a bov on my vl turbo, the spring in it died and the bov was useless (could not hold more than 7psi boost and would open up sounding like an external wastegate but losing all horsepower), that sucked... it was a TurboSmart Type III. after that i just took it off and had the hole welded up.

I had a bov on my R32, and it wasnt placed properly (it was not hidden)... stuck out like dogs balls, and as soon as a cop pops your bonnet, they think its christmas when they see it, because they dont know fcuk all about cars, but they know what bovs look like and they know it shouldnt be there...

I remember i told a cop it was standard, argued the point and got away with it. But i removed it anyway.

Bloody posers.

It's full sick.

I have a s15 stock re-circ. If take your foot off the accell quick enough when on full boost you still hear crazy woosh for some reason (I thought that wasn't meant to happen with a re-circ)... this thread makes me worry now maybe it's not up to the job but I'm only running .8 bar or so. :confused:

I still don't understand why people want these noises - just get a bigger turbo and make noise with the wastegate :(

This thread is gay.

The "flutter" sound (not to be confused with the sound from a sequetial BOV) is compressor surge, it happens when the compressor is operating severly out of its efficiency range, it is not a good thing.

So when I hear a car drive past fluttering between gears, I dont think "fully sick man", I think "that car is set up like shit, and that tool thinks it is great"

If you want it to be louder,

1)block up the BOV (causes the compressor to operate at essentially zero flow when changing gears) ie; way out of its efficiency range,

2) get a pod filter - stock box is designed to muffle the sound,

3) FMIC - larger volume of compressed air for the compressor to work against (at zero flow) during gear changes.

All that should reault in a longer louder flutter to tell people your car is fu(ked.

Sorry if I have offended anyone.

    • Here's the link: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6642/misc/G49?frame_no=WGNC34-137122 What you think about it? The same product i found on nengun: https://www.nengun.com/oem/parts/40567/MiPwn5qAMfCfmpxHNDnwn5q9MDAx8J-QiW9sZC1qcC0xMTAtRzQ5LS0wMDE/Floor+Carpet+%2F+Mat+2/0688339eba149c19 Bot i have spoken to 😅 ensured me, that mats are 100% original, oem product. I have my doubts. I also heard what you mentioned, that nengun often offers items that are actual not available... On the other hand mats i found on japanese yahoo or ebay are in poor condition and still quite expensive so i'd rather wait for some better offers. My location - Poland. We literaly don't have ANY market for used Stagea parts so need to search outside Europe.
    • You can’t see much on the other side as the lcd is there I don’t think it’s the same as the m33 beside it as the markings on top is not the same was hoping someone had a good quality photo or if they just happened to have the unit in hand, quickly take the cover off and take a photo to clearly show the marking on top to identify the diode   the unit is currently with an electronics repair shop so I can’t take another photo at the moment hopefully they are smart enough to know if it’s a zener diode or not
    • I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.
    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
