i know this is silly, but i took the vacume off the bov, so it wouldn't open, and i got teh flutter sound, but the car was soooo lagy and didn't want to boost past 5psi, the dam thing sucked. Is that what normally happens when you block on teh BOV.

mind you i have connected it back up, it was just being silly.???

My understanding on how a BOV works, is that the pressure helps holds the BOV shut. Hense, when there is no pressure working on the BOV at all, it is like you are introducing a big leak.

.............. is there any hope for these people.

can just see this scenerio

import car sales man: " i just need you to listen to this recording before you qualify to own a skyline".

tape recording can be heard........ vuuuuuuuuu tu tu tu tu tu

customer: "wow bru's da iz da shickest sound dis side of chapz ay....."

car sales man: "get out of my shop........"

ohh i see so if i just take of the hose to it, then the car will leak boost as the BOV has no way of being held shut, makes sence, learn something new everytime.

My question is, there are so many cars running arround with an BOV but still have flutter, can this be from an external gate, or the BOV being set to tight?

I have read many posts about the flutter, and was wondering, on the weekend was washing Jumbarie 16 and many of their drag cars had flutter, i presume that flutter was bad, but many people have that flutter sound.

Thats right, you need to pipe connected no matter what or you'll have a mad leak.

The way people block the stock BOV is putting a metal gasket between the return pipe and the BOV, that way the air gets trapped and has nowhere to go but back through the turbo (not good according to lots) and out the air filter.

can be certain that it wasnt the wastegate making that sound....

as for the cars at jambo making that noise..... big compressor + heavy spring on bov = some reversion

as for your normal run of the mill cars that still have a lil bit of reversion, as you said, bov is possible too tight

If you unplug the vacuum hose (and not plug up the hose) it wont really work because the standard bov's leak, they have a small hole in em underneath therefore introducing a vac leak so you'd really need to block it either with a plate in between the bov and the pipe its screwed onto or put something in between the hose connected to the bov and the return pipe going to the intake pipe. That works well with no leaks but if you don't have it tuned to compensate for the added fuel it throws in the car will start backfiring on ya cos of the AFM. Thats the only thing i don't like about AFM cars... its the shit you get when messing with vented/ blocked bov's.

I reckon 5 mates packed in the back yelling and screaming and throwing half full cans of beer randomly at cars, bikes , pedestrians and small dogs is a far better way of drawing attention to yourself.

Although if you already have that option get a few off duty barmy army members (they don't have much work on right now) to sing a loud and catchy song about how your mates car goes 'dose' from the back seat of the car, even from inside the boot?

gees, I have absolutely no clue what wastegate flutter is supposed to sound like.....all I know is that people with external wastegate goes like.........vrrrooooooooommmmmm WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so could someone clue me in as in what the flutter is supposed to sound like?.....all the flutters I've heard is from fully sik bro's and their blocked off bov

mythbusters ahoy >_<

#1 there is no such thing as wastegate flutter

#2 flutter or chop chop (vl style tutututututu) is air pressure collisions in the pipework, as a result of compressor surge, as a result of running no bov

#3 a wastegate making a "vrrrooooooooommmmmm WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" noise is a sreamer pipe setup, nothing to do with compressor surge, bovs, flutter etc.

#4 compressor surge occurs when pressure past the compressor wheel exceeds what the map dictates, so if you goes beyond that, the wheel surges violently

#5 when you block the bov, on gearchange the pressure collision causes the compressor wheel to surge, as we know #4 happens when pressure past the wheel goes beyond what the wheel can supply, so by blocking the bov, you induce compressor surge

Yep gotta agree there, to scare ppl....hmm 38mm external gate with a 10" pipe comming off it.....

vrrrooooooooommmmmm WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ppl running holding there ears....nothing like it

to be honest I find it pretty gay........not as gay as vl with their tutus........not my cup of tea

LOLL Its true its just for attention.... no better way to get noticed than dirving around with a tutututut noise comin from your car...

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
