StarletRick

how much do you want for it?.... youre local ^^

no mate, wastegates dont make any noises appart from regular old exhaust gas noise when opened. no chattering or anything. that terms is just what nubs say who think they know what they are talking about ^^

stall: when the butterfly closes, and the pressure has nowhere to go (be it a poor bov or no bov at all). the only way the pressure can vent is back through the turbo, even though the turbo is still spinning. this is what causes the chopping noise. alot of people call this "wastegate chatter" which is also wrong. surge: this is when the compressor produces more boost than the inducer/engine can cope with. the engine can only "breathe"so much air, and if the turbo is flowing more CFM than the engine can process, then you have a problem. thats why you get surge protectors on the bigger turbos (those holes that are drilled into the intakes) its feels sort of like a horrible missfire when it happens and the turbo makes a horrible stammering noise, totally different from the chips you get when it stalls. thats about as basic as i can explain it. 99% of people dont know what surge is, as they never see or experience it, as it only happens way up the tuning ladder. that, coupled with alot of ill-informed people has sort of marred the definition and everyone calls every noise a turbo makes "surge"

thats nice ;) but it isnt the same. when you lift off the throttle and it makes that nice chattering sound, it isnt compressor surge, its compressor stall. they are 2 totally different things, and the way they happen are from 2 totally different circumstances. you may be a garret dealer, but that doesnt make you right. at least we agree on the bov thing ^^

youre getting confused mate... you mean compressor stall, not surge. and 99% of bovs are not efficient enough at releasing the pressure before it can come back through the turbo. i cant comment on the new hks ones, they may have cracked it. but most BOVs are pretty basic in design and cant do both jobs of holding higher pressure and releasing it fast enough. there is always a compromise, and the caveat of that is comp stall.

1. it isnt compressor surge, thats something totally different/unrelated. 2. your bov is too loose in that case. a properly setup bov shouldnt open before about 4-5psi, thus causing some mild stall at lower boost levels. its perfectly fine and wont harm anything.

dont have mine yet ;[

Stage 1 - 22 ft-lb Stage 2 - 36 ft-lb then another 1/4 turn in sequence.

3s is too heavy mate, the chassis cant cope with the weight, someone's done it before and it messes the handling up quite a bit.

fuck my arse. if its there when i get home. im having tomorrow of work....

it is working, your car will always chatter, just not you have an open filter you can hear it.

i might be about then mate, keep me updated and ill pop up.

lulz, ok son. i was just correcting you mate, im not being 'ratty'. ;)

just because you had a bad experience with one doesnt mean they are all shit. 4ages are bloody good motors if looked after.

4age bottom ends go? no they dont.

so youd take a b16 out of one of the best fwd chassis in the world, and put it into one of the worst ^^ yeah mate well done ;) lulz

cant buy it back. ive got a better, faster car now. ive moved on ;[ i think its because i build it on my own, sort of get attached to them. i had it for a long time as she was totally stock when i got her. lots of blood, sweat and tears ;[

she was a good old girl, i miss the shit out of her to be honest.

id check the plugs and leads first. could be something simple. id also get some injector cleaner through it t osee if that does anything.

i do miss the old girl ;'[

do you have a FPR fitted? missing at low revs sounds like a fuel pressure or injector problem to me.

its on the BBC website aswell, names and all. apparently he collided with someone in a corsa and they died too ;[

Rob was a tuner from round this way. very well thought of within the nissan community. he had an accident while tuning a customer's car. pretty tragic really.

rule 1. people at meets are nubs, ignore them (unless its me, obviously ^^) to start, have you checked the king/ignition leads? have you checked the plugs? but, missing at low revs is almsot always fuel related. does it do it at idle?
