^^ lol.

block the blow off valve off mate, and get a pod filter :rofl:;) . a dose pipe is another name for a front pipe (exhaust) that you bolt onto your dump pipe :)

Na man, a dose pipe is a metal pipe off the turbo!

You got your terminology all mixed up.

Coundown to thread lock... 10..............9...........8...........7........6

But just to help you out, and save you from using the search function.

1. Get pod

2. Get FMIC

3. Get metal pipe from pod to turbo

4. Relocate AFM btwn turbo and throttle body.

5. Block up BOV

6. Drive around dosing like a mad kent, glaring at anyone who looks.

7. Reverse all of the above as soon as you realise dosing is the domain of full hectic muzteks in VL turbos.

Good luck

that who was asking for ? now come joey not on here SpEaK1n 1n C4Ps with bros on the end of every sentence.. if you dont have a valid comment shut the f**k up.

blocking your factory bypass valve to get your hektic flutterz will damage your turbo in the long run. no harm in running a metal pipe from the AFM to the turbo though (other than marginally increasing the heat soak from the engine of the air going in).

dose pipe is the metal pipe between the turbo and the AFM... combined with a blocked bypass valve the air is forced back through the turbo when the throttle is shut, which chops it up... the metal pipe then amplifies the chopping noise and you have your "dose".

having a dose pipe won't win you any respect from anyone who isn't fully sik hektic though... in fact they might laugh at you.

I have flutter, but not really by choice. As soon as i hit boost, my standard BOV opens. Its rooted. So i just made up a plate to block the BOV off. I prefer flutter than the annoying sound of a BOV anyday.

MRdeanos, im no expert but depending on the turbo you have, over time is can cause damage to you turbo. As not having a BOV is causing the trubo the spin the opposite way when you back off the gas.

Can anyone tell me which turbo is more flutter friendly lol? is it roller bearing? Sorry im a noob...

EDIT: Funky monkey, what do you mean by a metal pipe between the turbo and the turbo?

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
