i have definately heard one before mate, i wasn't talking about when it is wide open on full boost and it roars, i was talking about on gearchanges.

 

maybe its just my old car and my mates car that do it and all the rest in the world don't but they distinctly made a segmented rather then continuous noise. on my mates car you could hear the bov was continously open while the wastegate "sounded" like it opened and shut a few times.

Thats a wastegate.

hmmm hks ssqv sounds like a bird dying or getting sucked into the turbo or something, i don't like it hey.:whatsthat  

 

for the, as you decribed it, perfect bov sound

1. buy a vl turbo

2. make sure its an auto

3. get the biggest bov you can find

4. get a fmic so everyone can see your cars turbo

5. get a pod filter

6. tighten the bov as much as possible

7. sit at traffic lights/pedestrian crossings/intersection and hold your foot on the accelerator and brake at the same time and then back off the accelerator.

8. look around to make sure everyone is looking at you

9. take off doing a sick one wheeler :burnout:

 

Disclaimer:This is not intended be provoking everyone with vl turbos, only the ones that do shit like this. :sly:

 

 

PS back to the point of the thread.

You can get the "fluttering" noise too if you have an external wastegate, different gates make different noises when you back off and some seem to make an almost fluttering noise as you describe.

 

The bov fluttering noise everyone says is bad as its reversion but my old 33 made the fluttering noise as i had no bov at all and the hks turbo on it had no shaft play last time i checked and still worked well.

No offence but that would just make whoever does that look like an idiot! Like seriously, every1 might jst be looking at u weird and prolly have"as if" in their head. + HKS SSQV has the most unique sound rather than just Pshhhh.

i was being sarcastic, seems like i am not good at if people thought i was serious :Oops:

yeah everyone has their own opinion and tastes, lucky they do otherwise we'd all have the same cars :rofl:

What the continous noise on gearchange rather then the segmented one???

so i am wrong again? damn.

so describe this sound.. or record it and attach here.

it could just be that the bov wasn't able to vent enough.. and therefore even though it was venting everything it could, there was still some reversion through the turbo..

I really can't see how a wastegate that needs say 15psi of pressure to open could close and open on gearchanges.

I don't see how there can be fluctuating pressure in the exhaust manifold/turbine area during gearchanges which go from 0 to somehting above the spring pressure of the wastegate to cause it to open and shut.

In my old car it was reversion as i had no bov but i thought the wastegate was also attributing to the noise :confused:

I also can't understand it so i'm probably wrong but i have heard the noise from my mates old datto as well that had an external gate and bov and from a few other cars in videos that had external gates. I am not sure if it had anything to do with the external gates but i just assumed it did.

Sorry if i have mislead/confused anyone

Its quite simple really - if your boost pressure to the wastegate comes off the compressor housing or intercooler piping and the bov doesnt lift (adjustment) on gear change (or no bov at all) you will get a pressure increase in the turbine housing from reversion - this may cause the wastegate to flutter open and shut as the pressure fluctuates in the turbine housing. Its actually not that uncommon, and can be very obvious when you have an external gate. My old 33 did it with a screamer and 3037 fitted.

Sounds like what mine did, i also had screamer pipe off the external gate and hks gt3037s.

maybe i wasn't wrong then. :(

just got a hks ssqv on my r32 it does the chirp thing on full boost but it flutters a bit on low is this ok r could there be something wroung?  

thanks all :rave:

It flutters at low PSI because there not enough pressure to open up the BOV

Fluttering can also occur if theres too much pressure & 1 BOV cant vent enough air out quickly enough.

Greetings All.

I was just wondering...

How do you get the fluttering noise from your BOV...? What sort of BOV do you recommend for this type of noise....?

Cheers,

--Tonba

Your answer to that would be....

Greddy Type S , Adjustable sexc blow off vavle.

They are my favourite one of the pack!

Quite expensive, but Greddy's engineering is leading performance.

$250 at autobarn ATM, if you're quick. only a few left in stock in the country! then they are no more! for less that $350ish anyway

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By tylink720 · Posted

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand

      You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.

      By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
