Yes you can, you need to removed the BOV, or fit an aftermarket one, and tighten the spring, so it only opens on full boost!

If you are after flutter like a skyline or VL turbo, then it wont happen with a subaru.

Hey, i know of 3 subarus that do it.  Mine, my bros, and my friends.  They are a B4 Liberty, XT Forester and 03 WRX.  If my car would hurry up and leave the workshop i would get a sound clip for you.

weeelll... yes and no really,

The only reaon why VL's flutter so much is because they have piping that runs for long distances to the FMIC, which keeps the echo and the flutter going,

you would have to run bigger turbos and long piping on a rex/lib, to get that long flutter (the "The Gut" has above) smile

Sold the Subaru, replaced it with a Honda.. but all I know is Subaru's! (and Holden V8's of course):secret:

yeah thats true. We all have front mounts, pods and aftermarket blowoff valves and bigger turbos to get the flutter.

go to youtube.com and search for D.W.B.N , his white gen1, has an awesome flutter.....its on a dyno, also have a look at the ROC cruises on there aswell, as the same car is ina few scenes....

i thought for full flutter you have to have a Pod and FMIC then block off the BOV. so the air goes back through the turbo, and the sound is from the turbo chopping the air....

but the VL flutter sound sweet

Its very simple really... get an adjustable BOV, tighten it up as tight as it will go(or block it off totally)... fit a pod filter... and you will get flutter...

As it has been described earlier, it is simply the air from the intake going backwards through a spinning turbo... as soon as you let off the accelerator, the butterfly in the intake manifold closes forcing all the air the turbo is still pushing to go somewhere... and if the BOV doesnt open then it will just go back through the turbo... creating the "flutter"...

As has also been said, more boost and longer piping will mean more air to get rid of meaning more flutter...

My old WRX had a massive FMIC(hung about 2.5 inches below the bumper) and it used to flutter quite loudly on 18psi...

If your mates reckon it cant be done on a subaru then they really have no idea about what makes the sound as it could be set up on any vehicle with a turbo... :Dntknw:

can flutter be achieved with a top mount intercooler? and can you still have the air flow meter aswell?

Re: subaru flutter...

I have a Top mount, and mine flutters, pretty loudly now too as my blow off is tightened up...

standard top mounts with a tightened aftermarket blow off will "Flutter"

Cars with high boost, and long piping to a front mount cooler "Chop" (sydney lingo)

My flutter is pretty loud but very short spaces between each flutter, eg

su.su.su.su.su" smile

Where my mate is running a frony mount on his VL with 30psi, and it chops" eg.

SU........SU..........SU.............SU....... and so forth, If your not at your own computer and have people around you, I strongly suggest you dont try and remake these sounds aloud, as you may look like an idiot.. :blush2:

But flutter is not good for the turbine blade's!! Thats how you crack and brake blades!!! Thats why you have a blow off, to release the pressure off the turbo!!!

Re: subaru flutter...

you are correct B42.2, but i guess thats the risk many people have to take if they want flutter.

but you will see many people who have their cars fluttering for around 100,000kms with no problems with the blades.

but a word of warning. The bades might look good from front on, but check behind them as thats where they tent to crack

that would be great luke,

do all skylines engines have the same "flutter/dose" as the RB30(VL TURBO)?

or is it just the RB30
