hey guys,

i know this topic has been covered to death in the past but my querie is a little different, i did a search and got the same old answers.

my problem is:

I have an r33 s1 and the car came with 2 bovs a stock and a blitz bov. the blitz is all the way down on one of the pipes that go to the intercooler.

i decided to take the stock off as it was defeating the purpose of an aftermarket. i put a plate where the stock was and blocked off the plumback with a turbosmart blocking cap (orwhat ever you call it). The after market bov goes off on heavy accleration but on lite exceleration i get that flutter noise (which i dont want ) i set the bov to go off pretty easy and it used to with two bos but now its not and i have set it to almost the weakest spring rate .

what have i done wrong ?? or is it normal to get a flutter at low RPM with an aftermarkt pod and front mount ??

i dont know if im parenoid but i can swear its increased lagging between shifts, my mates reckon that its the same so i could be wrong.

any help would be appreciated

thanks

the turbo doesnt spin the other way

and yes the flutter is normal. Obviously its just air hitting the closed throttle creating the phenomenon of reversion lol

Yes, the air is going back into the turbo but the pressure from a stock turbo isnt going to cause too much trouble for a metal blade spinning at 100 000rpm

its not the blitz bov noise that i hate, its the flutter that you get when you block off your std bov and dont use a aftermarket. ( pressure building up and forcing turbo to spin the other way)

The BOV's have a screw for adjusting, this works like a tensioner.

When the screw is wound one direction, say in, then the spring inside becomes harder, therefore needing more pressure to open, so then it will open only on high rev's.

When wound out, the spring is softer, then it will open on low revs, which means less pressure to open a softer spring.

Just find the BOV, and screw the adjustment screw out a few turns, you should be fine.

If you want it to open on low revs = undo the screw

If you want it to open on high revs = tigthen the screw

If you open it to much you may get stallng issues when rev's drop, and I think thats also the case with it being too tight maybe?

Your getting the flutter because the BOV is set to firm or harder, =high rev's. Its not opening on low rev's so your getting flutter.

Found this on a site which talks about how to set your bov:

Most BOVs have a screw or nut to adjust the tension. You can turn the screw/nut to the right and increase the tension. Do this several times with a test drive in between. If your BOV stops letting out the pressure, you have adjusted it too tight. You will then need to start adjusting soft again. You must keep playing with this adjustment until you get it just right. A good adjustment will allow the BOV to release pressure after slight boost, and not stall afterwards. It is not necessary for the BOV to release pressure when you rev the car.

Hope that helps. :P

Thanks,

Abu

Forgot to tell you where the screw is lol

Usually on the top of the BOV, or on some model BOV's the whole top section of it turns to make it fimer or softer.

Below is a little diagram of a BOV and how it works. If you look to the far right of the picture, at the top there is a screw, that is the adjustment screw your looking for.

Good luck! :P

thanks Abu,

yeah i know all about the screw to tighten or losen. I played around with it and made it so it went off alot earlier, unfortunantly though there is not much adjustment left and loosning it up any more causes it to stall.

its makin the flutter at very low rpm on light exceleration before it even hits boost so i doubt if it will set to that low without stalling

ey dude, my car had the same setup on it wen i bought it, blitz pipe and valve down to stock cooler. try opening the valve up and cutting the spring inside down a bit. do little bits at a time till your screw will make it chatter all the time screwed in and release when screwed out. keep in mind with future plans on your car that more boost will make the valve release easiier!

hope that makes sence and helps!

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
