d/v fluttering

[cus]

i moved my d/v from the TIP to the throttle body, and since doing this its fluttering. is this something to do with the spring being too hard or too soft?

is there any easy solution to fix this.. apart from moving it back to the TIP

would a split-r valve get rid of the fluttering if its properly adjusted?

oh, its an AMD Turbosmart D/V btw.

If you relocated it properly then it should be fine. Split R will take you a long time to set up properly, but when done its good. However turbosmart is good too. Isn;t there a way to set them up as well? Have you done this after moving it to cold side?

If you want to know you done it properly PM myki or look at his old thread. He had the turbosmart and did the relocation

cheers reuvers. well i hope i've relocated it properly. done exactly the same as myki. so i'll send a pm

oh, the fluttering shouldn't be causing a problem should it? doesn't mean that my turbo is on its way out of anything?

is it okay to have the D/V before the throttle body?

i've mounted it the same way as it was on the TIP.. sitting on the throttle body pipe like it did on the TIP.
i'm going to check all the pipes tonight for splits

Should be like this

 

[cus]

ahhh, so i still need the bottom of my D/V to be connected to the TIP, not on the throttle body pipe?

i'll do that tonight and see what difference it makes cheers

 

[Reuvers]

Lol that's why I said "if you connected it properly"

get that changed. FLuttering isn't really great. could cause your turbo to stall...

 

[Reuvers]

btw backdraft loving the bay!

[Adam R]

fluttering means your stalling the turbo.

 

[cus]

mine is all sorted now ran to the charge pipe instead of TIP... oops lol

glad you sorted it mate,,,,,,,,,,,,was everything ok by the way?

yeah was pretty much perfect. had to cut the throttle body pipe down a bit as it was a tiny bit too long. once i did that though it went on perfectly

just my stupidity putting it in wrong! lol

cheers though peachy!

 

[SEATCOOBER]

dont bigger turbos tend to stall quicker than smaller ones as the impeller is hevier mine has always done this since i fitted it!!

 

[footlong]

Mine usually flutters for first 5 minutes of running from flat cold. is this normal?

 

[Reuvers]

yes should be normal...I have this too slightly...when I first drive off I don;t even hear turbo spooling (but then again you shouldn;t be flooring it anyway until engine is at proper temps)
