Fluttering please help

I was driving home from school the other day and I just put in a B18B for boosting purposes. I have broke it in and it now has 1000 miles on it. I decided to open her up once and like something broke. Whenever I floor it and its at wide open throttle the car makes like a fluttering noise. I though maybe that i blew a weld on the exhaust, cuz that is the sound it makes. I checked and found nothing visibly wrong. Please give me suggestions to what i did.

Re: Fluttering please help

what i meant by fluttering is, when i floor it the car kind shakes and it sounds like it is farting, i guess that is the best way i can put it. Like imagine a go carts loud putting noise it makes, putt putt putt putt

You're leaning out.

edit: You probably fucked something up.. burnt a valve.. you did something bad.

Re: Fluttering please help

Do you have a vacuum or boost gauge? If you have a fucked valve your vacuum levels will flutter with an idle that doesn't flutter so much.

What?

You were detonating? It sounded like pinging? Or flutter?

Check your plugs ---- head.

If you were detonating that hard on low octane, and you switched to higher octane and it went away, I'm betting it's still doing it just less and quieter. Turn your dizzy back a few degrees, you will thank me.
