I hav just put the stock BOV on my R33. i had a after market one on there but got defected.

But the stock one is making a very high pitched piercing sound at about 2500 revs, its worse in second gear. its only wen i take off very slowly and the turbo isn't boosting.

my question is, Is this normal? and if not do u reckon the bov is stuffed or something else?

Also are R33's with stock bov supposed to FLUTTER if u hav a pod filter? one of my mates reckon it is, but mine Isn't. Any comments on this?

Thanks

James

Is it a pretty quiet high pitched noise? If so then yeah thats normal.

Fluttering is gay so thankfully only VLs flutter :thumbsup:

Most will flutter wen u put a pod filter on it even if the BOV is stock, just depends on the filter, it will usually make the flutter wen its lower in the revs ie 3500 rpm and more of a short shap sound wen higher in the revs...

the flutter is prtty annoying tho all it creates is unwanted attention.

unlucky about the defect ive been pulled over a few times and the car searched for defects and the cops have never sed anything about my after market BOV... luckily nearly everything else in my car is engineered.

Hey, yeah its not to loud but u can hear it from the outside loudly, its like a high pitched metal sought of sound, its hard to discribe. but if u take off slowly around the 2500 3000rpms it'll pitch then stop as the revs continue to climb. i dont want to go buy another one and the same prob happens if this is normal, but something tells me it isn't.

let me know wot u think

Mine makes that high pitch noise. But it comes from the turbo. If you've got a boost gauge that reads vacuum, you probably find it makes the noise at a certain point. For mine it's -14 IN-Hg. You can only hear it because of the pod filter though. If you had the stock airbox it'll muffle out the sound.

Unless the sound yours is making is different too mine.

Yeah it sounds like your talking about the same thing. But it happens in every gear at a particular rev range and yeh Vacuum level.

I had an atmospheric Bov on before and i never heard it.

Now is this bad that this High Ringing (pitched) sound is comming from the turbo?

Another thing iv got a K&N pod on there, i dont get any flutter out of it, and my mate with the same car and pod does! WHAT does this mean? Do u get it?

I've got the K&N pod too, not that it makes any difference. The high pitch noise isn't bad. Don't worry about it. Mines been doing it for ages. I heard mine make this noise as soon as I switched to a pod.

As for flutter, it could be due to his BOV having a higher spring tension. If its a stock bov, it might have been squashed to raise the spring tension thus giving the flutter. Standard spring rates in the stock bov does not make flutter. That would be why yours isn't doing it.

Thanks guys for ur help, much appreciated. I'll leave the BOV as it is and as for the high pitched turbo sound i'll just have to ignore it.

The noise is normal, when i had my old 33 it use to make the same, even when i went to sell it the guy looking at it thought it was the disc brakes scraping or something lol he had no idea, does your mate have the stock bov? cause i noticed id get a flutter with a aftermarket bov an k&n pod as well.

Yeah apparently he has got the stock bov with pod filter and reckons he gets flutter, i agree that the bov must be modified for it to do that. Yeah wen i had an after market BOV i used to get it all the time.

So the high pitched ringing noise when the car is in vacuum is normal. thats a relief! the flutter wasnt my biggest concern, i just was curious that wen i heard that noise plus no flutter, i thought they were connected as my mate said otherwise.

So why does the turbo make that piercing sound wen in vacuum around -14 to 10 IN-Hg, its a weird thing!

cheers guys

      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"
