hrmm ive never heard of that b 4 ,, might work..

i know my flutter comes from my Wastegate, not bov ..

Flutter has nothing to do with the wastegate. It is compressor surge, and will happen if the bov doesn't open when you close the throttle, there is nowhere for the compressed air in the intake pipe to go, so it goes back through the turbo, the flutter noise you can hear is the air as it passes over the compressor turbine.

This has all been covered a million times on here. :devil:

As stated, nothing to do with a wastegate

Might pay you to google "wastegate" and find out what one is, and what purpose it serves on a turbocharged car

morgz r33 - your car has a bov already.

see how the pipe goes across your engine and to the trottle body where the accelerator cable is.. well just to the right of that, on the side of the pipe (towards the back of the engine bay) is the factory bov. it has a rubber hose that plumbs it back in to the inlet.

if you want to hear the sound of it, get a pod filter instead of the air box and you will be able to hear it.

if you must have a bov that goes pssshhh then buy one that has an adapter for a skyline then you can just unbolt the factory one, bolt in the new one, connect the little vaccum hose on top of it, block off the big rubber hose that plumbs back and you're done.

someone above already told you what flutter is..

and that howstuffworks page is great reading for someone new to it all.

well, I could use that one to demonstrate how long the turbo will last with a BOV too.... :D

I sort of posted to illustrate the nature of Bunta's post, ie, its pretty much worthless, and almost paranoid in nature - I think someone has been paying too much attention to BOV salesmen.

I have been running (edit) without a bov for around 18months, on a second had turbo, track thrashing (drift) regularly and the turbo is fine,

...but anyway, the worth of a bov is a completely different story, and has been done to death also :nyaanyaa:

hey thx for the info, that site is really good, i was hoping maybe someone can post up a pic of the stock bov and where it is ? i know its stupid but it will make my learning process a whole lot quicker :sick: i have allready got a pod and it does sound good but i still want it to be louder! thx for the help :P

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
