Hilarious Vl Turbo Bov Sound

Hi um i have been wondering and debating with my friends for quite a while, what makes the BOV's (or the majority of) on VL turbo's sound so bad? Like normally i dont mind the tshhhhhhh sound but the VL turbo's go tsh tsh tsh tsh tsh like in fast succesion at a high pitch and its hilarious. I have noticed HKS sequential BOV's which i assume let the air off out of 2 openings and thought perhaps this could be the cause of queerness. Also i was wondering if it could be that the BOV is like loose or far to small or something? Like its slapping open then coming back down on itself and being slapped open again by the air rushing out. Could it be like absurd amounts of compressor wheel surge or something?

I know thats not really skyline related but well i dont know a huge amount about turbo'd cars and have been laughing at VL's for like 5 years trying to figure out why they (or the vast majority of) them sound so gay. ( and they got like r31 engines in em right?)

That noise you are reffering to is called compressor surge. It personal choice whether you like it or not but the reason why it makes that noise becasue as you take your foot off the throtle their is no BOV for the air coming from the turbo to ecscape so it goes back out through the turbo making that tsh tsh tsh tsh noise.

No blow off valve & no intercooler

They do have an intercooler, finding a decent picture of a stock RB30ET engine bay is the difficult part

See right before the throttle body, that is a factory VL Turbo intercooler.

It can still make that sound with that crossover pipe because it doesnt have a BOV(im pretty sure) that tiny cooler thing isnt really going to effect the compressor surge. If its taken you years to work out what that noise is well you havnt been round very long cause theres normally a thread about it weekly

ahh but my car doesnt have a bov and doesnt make the queer noise. Is it because of a larger turbo size? Like more air banking up and rushing back into the turbine when ur intake(?!?) closes makes the noise right, so a bigger turbo would produce more of that and make more of a noise out of it?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
