hi guys

on the weekend i did a DIY on my r34 gtt stock bov

we cut a coke can into the shape of the BOV as a gasket to block off airflow causing it to flutter but now it is back firing pritty regularly

y is it back firing so much ?

and how much damage am i causing to the turbo?

thank u =)

your car will also stall.

I did the coke can thing and undid it. Its crap. Get a HKS SSQV if you want flutter.

The afm is expecting air (from plum back bov) to be returned to the air flow, so when you stop that air being plummed back into the air flow the air flow metre doesnt know this and just assumes everything is normal, hence thinking there is more air there than there really is, therefore keeping the same amount of fuel for less air, causing it to run rich. hope that made sence

So if u put the afm in the cooler piping do you rekkin it would run beta?

not too sure but the thing is...people have done this but the AFM isn't designed to be placed under pressure, its just plastic, and excess heat to this plastic can cause it to become brital. The afm relies on an accurate reading of resistance measured by a very thin wire. Any excess heat to this could cause improper readings, hence different air/fuel ratio....probably wouldnt be f**k all but there's no point just for a flutter and bad economy.

LOL

it works... but wouldn't recommend it on a r33 with the ceramic wheels..

blew mine out my exaust pipe and also straight into the intercooler..

i don't see any issue with a steel wheel type turbo

edit: i have fixed this up cos people can't seem to understand wtf i was saying...

Err how is that possible? Is your exhaust connected to your intercooler? :P

:laughing-smiley-014:

Luckily it didn't go the other way and end up in your sump hey? or even worse, in the flux capacitor.

aah.. school holidays :P

if and I stress IF .. your serious about this make sure your aware of the possible damage it might do

also if you REALLY want to do this .. least give the 34 a bit of respect and cut a bit of 3mm Ally plate and paint it black .

on a LOT of cars you will get flutter if you back off on low revs -

at full throttle the BOV is designed to stop air " ramming up against " the throttle body and traveling back past the turbo wheel

    • GTSboy, thank you again. i’ve been reading all the other SAU RB25 vacuum line threads and you have the utmost patience for people asking “where do my vacuum lines go”. it’s appreciated. i did also enlist a few other RB guys local to me.  i would like to run 5 to 4. turbo pressure side to wastegate actuator. i would like to run 3 to 1. power steering air valve line to intercooler outlet. (this is how it was previously). i was told 2 is the bleed port for the boost solenoid - which i’m not running - so should be capped.   anyone see any problems with that?    
    • So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.
    • Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?
    • Should have asked what is the car?
    • I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.
