FFS, my RB20 does not like stock bovs and I've got no fking idea whats causing it :dry:

It struggles to get to .4 bar at full throttle. With the bov blocked it makes .8 no worries. Also of interest is that the bov doesn't open properly when it's plumbed in. Opens briefly at full throttle but still flutters like mad otherwise, like it's not even opening. My old 32 would NEVER flutter with the bov plumbed in, like it opened even backing off at 0 boost.

On the plus side it seems pretty controllable to slide, even on stock sus with a weak viscous diff :P

could be a leak on your BOV by the sounds of things andrew....

try another stock BOV if you can get your hands on it mate..

Thats what I thought, so I did just that and it does the same thing :dry:

Stock RB20 one does it and stock RB25 s2 that I just bought does it as well. I'm thinking maybe a vac line somewhere might be a bit suspect.

i would say that if its making the right boost when the BOV is blocked off then just leave it blocked off....Flutter FTMFW

but now it sounds like the vac line from the BOV to the plennum is leaking or something strange is happening

let us know when you find out what the problem was mate

good luck

PS flutters man leave it fluttering lol

Not real keen on the flutter hey :P

Well, not all the time. Sometimes it's good (like driving through Mt Barker around 3:30 on a school day :P ) but yeah mostly it's just annoying.

What are you doing near a school andrew....specially on a school day :dry::P

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
