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

      Biggest thing is you're okay!   It sounds like between the accident, and the drive home, it was a pretty torturous trip again! On the bright side, you took the opportunity to enjoy the event more from the perspective of a spectator, than as an entrant!   Sad to see so much damage to the car. It really has taken a HUGE hit in the front end. If/when you choose to repair, hopefully the rails are straight (At least from shock tower backwards). Hopefully the extra cage coming through there has save most of the chassis rails, and HOPEFULLY saved the motor too. Best of luck when you eventually get motivated to start pulling it down to check it all out

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?

      By PranK · Posted

      The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.

      By MBS206 · Posted

      What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!

      Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !
