Well we are fixing a lot of stuff up on my car and i got a highflow turbo, and on the slightest accelation it flutters and on revving, and when not on boost it flutters. Just wondering how we can stop it fluttering so much. any help would be great

Thanks

do you have a pod? And what about the stock plumback BOV? Is that connected? And finally do you have an aftermarket BOV? if you do have an aftermarket BOV try loosening it, mabye the spring is too tight thats why you get flutter.

yep got a pod, no stock bov has aftermarket one, and no matter where it is adjusted it still flutters loosen it off or fully tight still does.

Aftermarket BOV's have a higher spring rate than factory bov's. So where the factory bov will open up when releasing light throttle, the aftermarket one does not. Please correct me if i'm wrong. when there is no bov this causes a build-up of pressure in the intake piping, slowing the compressor wheel - and hence the flutter. I think the same principle applies to aftermarket BOV's which don't open under light load, but obviously you don't have as much of a pressure build up as you would jumping off the gas from WOT.

There are a few war-threads where everyone has thrown their 2c in about BOVs which might be worth a read such as this.

:P

sorry i ment not when accelerating

Basically i'm saying it's not uncommon for car with aftermarket bovs to make the fluttering sound when backing off from light throttle. This is different when it comes to the HKS SSQ bov's and the like. when driving with a heavier right foot, the fluttering noise is by design and made by the BOV (and not the turbine).

:rofl:

i've got the same problem at the moment! however, only when i floored in 4th/5th gear from say 2000rpm and it flutter at about 3000rpm. 1st/2nd/3rd gear is fine as it will rev to 7000rpm! i'm thinking it might be the turbo surging. btw it's a GCG stage 1 high flow. anyone experience this before? any help would be appreciated!! :P

I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM CRUISING VERY LIGHT THROTTLE VERY NOTICEABLE ON THE FREEWAY IT JUST KEEPS FLUTTERING. I HAVE A GCG HIGH FLOWED TURBO POD FILTER AND AFTER MARKET BOV. IM GOING TO TRY A STANDARD BOV. LET ME KNOW IF ANYONE DOES FIX THEIRS

Just put on a s/h hi-flow turbo, i believe it may be a GCG unit as it has the sierra-sierra turbine combination and is also b/b core. Whereas ATP replace the b/b core with a bush unit.

If i plant the foot in any gear the turbo spools nicely and puts down the power. If i cruise easily, at 0.5bar the turbo will flutter while i am still accelerating. Boost flutters back and forth between about 0.4bar and 1.2bar, till i floor it or change gear. The previous owner swears he had no such issue with the turbo. And i know my mechanic played arround with the integral gate, while on the dyno.

I have come up with a few possiblities that still need to be tested.

1/ Integral wastegate is not working 100%

2/ The intake pipe may be partly collasping under light loads (harmonics) thus effecting intake air.

3/ Also want to temporarily remove new Turbosmart bov, just to eliminate it as a fault.

Any other suggestions.

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
