Hey ,

Yesterday i did the dodgy BOV modification by using a self taping screw to block the holes on the bottom of the BOV. Now by doing this the "blow off" noise i really loud......but what i wanna know is, is this noise coming from the blow off or is it the air going back thru the turbo pipes to the compressor???

Is this no good for the turbo???

i've done a search but just can find an answer.

P.S The car feels like it comes onto boost alittle stronger.

Thanks

George

it is doing it louder because the air is suddenly depressurising suddenly, whereas before it was constantly leaking. have you still got the plumback pipe connected? if not then that is the problem. but when i did mine i noticed that induction noise was a bit less, and i thought the bov was louder, but it wasn't. it was just because the induction noise was less that it was more noticable.

Thats interesting... I found the BOV/Turbo was much much quieter coming on and once on boost with the psshhtt noise being the same volume but just slightly different. So yer what your probably experiecing is a quieter spool then when it does go psshhtt you hear it, where as before there was always a bit of noise so maybe the pshht was as much of a difference in volume.

I put mine back to standard as it affected drivability through the hills.

what is the new sound that it makes?

Just like the stock sound but louder?

If so, that is fine.

If the noise is more like a fluttering sound, then it’s not venting..

As hard as it is to describe the sound via a keyboard I’ll give it a go..

Does it go..

Wwsshhhhhh

Or does it go.

Prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

LOL..

If it’s the first, that’s fine.

Anyway, I’ll add one more little thing..

That stock bov bod, when done on an RB fitted with a FMIC seems to cause flutter instead of venting properly.

With stock side mount it works as it should.

Boost does come on quicker as it is not circulating ANY of the air so the transition between off boost and on boost is more instant. Hence that quicker spool feeling.

So what does it do?

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
