BOV Ajustment


Recommended Posts

Guest RedLineGTR

I have a hybrid BOV on a skyline r33 gtst it vents to Atmosphere and Plumback, the question is that when the spring is adjusted so it not tight lets say 3 or so turns from loose, when the turbo starts making boost at 2500 it makes a flutter noise and when higher than 3000 it's normal whoosh sound, when adjusted tighter at 2500 doesn't make that much noise maybe a little whoosh and a 3000+ normal whoosh..Is it okay to leave it softish or is it better to leave it abit tighter. The tighter it is, will it make the BOV shut faster??

Thanks

The flutter ive been told is a bit of pressure hitting the turbo impellers when theres not enough air velocity for it to come rushing out of the bov in a hurry (eg over 3000). Obviously the pressure on the impellers is what the bov is meant to be preventing, however ive also been told at a low RPM its of little consequence.

I have a TurboXs BOV that has the same behaviour.

It should be fine, I run a TurboXS BOV on my R33 gtst and the it does the job really well high up in the revs and the compressor flutter low in the revs should not damage the turbo. This is simply because there is not enough boost and it cannot expel the minimal amount of air via the BOV.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
