NO BANANAS FOR YOU! i turned off the ebc so I was only running 8 pound.... unless its on R&R all the time, NO FIX! the car feels sluggish and not fun.... I wouldnt be hitting R&R at 8 pound would I? One reason I think I'm not is that I am sucking through the standard airbox without the snorkel... I.e. its drawing hot as air from the engine....

Explain this again.

you are in lets say 2nd gear.

foot to the floor, you accelerate to 6000rpm?

then step on clutch to change gears.

you hear some flutter and the car jerks a little (while you are off the gas).

or does the jerking happen once you've got in to next gear and plant it again?

Hmmm.... good questions ask you....

I drive the car pretty easy most of the time. So when changing normally around town (3000rpm) I dont shift extremely quickly and you can feel the car jerk around a little bit, feels as though the pressure is bouncing around a fair bit....

When at high rpm, and quickly changing between gears, it doesnt seem to jerk as much.... Less time for the air to bounce around???

I read through the R&R stuff on other threads and I'm sure the car is suffering from it, however this seems different.

but explain the moment of the jerking (eewww)

is it, when foot is on clutch, or when in gear and accelerating AFTER changing gears?

may be a stupid question but have you taken the stock bov off and checked to make sure it's not blocked off with a plate?

or that the plumback line doesn't have a cork of some kind in there?

this is the way I see it.

1.) car jerks when accelerating after chaning gears.. as in you are back on the boost = R&R

2.) car jerks when you are off the accelerator AFTER boosting = blocked bov.

you have said that you get flutter so I am leaning towards the fact that either the bov is blocked or that the tiny bleed hole under the bov base is blocked.

either way.

a few clamps and 2 bolts and the bov comes off.

remove it and check what I mentioned.

I'm getting this same problem, it jerks when i get back onto the gas after a gear change ie: if i rev it up and dump it into the next gear i get a nice fart and jerk before i go anywhere.

Got a highflow with chipped ecu and z32 afm

getting a gtr bov this arvo so maybe it might fix it

Not sure if it's always done it

I never used to drive it that hard so i've only started to notice it recently

Nothings changed since anyway

I haven't got a working scanner atm but my afr's are pretty flat along the 11's since its tuned for 20psi and im only running 15ish

    • Thanks everyone for the replies and suggestions. Got the seats out (hoping I could find some existing grommets but no such luck). By tapping and measuring etc. I could figure out where I could drill through if needed. But first I borrowed an inspection camera and managed to go through factory holes in the chassis rail and could see that the captive nut was holding steady which is why it could retighten. So it was indeed a stripped section of thread, so I applied downforce by levering the bolt head with a screwdriver and went slowly back and forth until it came out. Camera helped a lot cos I could monitor that the captive nut was holding tight. Now I just have one very seized main subframe nut to tackle 馃槄
    • BOVs do have a purpose, if you ever log pressure before and after the throttle body, you will see a spike pre throttle on lift off from a WOT condition. Enough to bend throttle blades / damage e-throttle motors or simple assist in blowing off cooler pipes. FWIW, the above on really applies to those running at least 2 bar of boost. OP shouldn't have an issue, on the other hand, here are some videos of my shit box over a decade ago with some succulent dose with the airbox on and off. That shit box is unrecognisable these days 馃珷    
    • I've tried all different combinations of BOVs/ no BOV and stock bypass valves over the years, on gear changes the stock bypass valve seems to get the car back on boost quicker because in part the turbos wheel speed isn't being slowed down by reversion, although they have issues holding boost much over the stock setting. Most aftermarket BOVs you can adjust the spring, tighter will make it open later and close sooner, but in my experience it'll cause a bit of flutter at low load/rpm anyway. I've also got some input into this whole no bov causing turbo wear, never had an issue on any on my turbos HOWEVER, I got my R33 GTST with 200k kms on it, with from what I can see still has the original turbo, no lateral shaft play but has about 4-5mm of play in and out which to me seems like a worn thrust bearing from years (100-150k kms?) of turbo flutter running no bov, so maybe there is some truth to it in the long run. But that'll never stop me loving the Stutututu while I have the car.   OP just wants to know if he can run a atmo vented BOV with no major issues and the answer is YES, plenty of people do it, there's no harm in installing it and seeing how it runs before spending $$$ on an aftermarket ecu, last time I bought a Nistune it was $2400 for install and a tune , unsure of todays prices but you get me. Crazy money to spend just to fix the minor inconvenience of stalling that can be overcome by letting the revs come down to near idle before putting the clutch in or a little bit of throttle to avoid it. You're better off leaving the ecu and tune for after a bigger turbo/injectors have been installed to take full advantage of the tune and get your moneys worth.   Let OP have his Whoosh sound without trying to break his bank haha
    • I see you missed the rest of the conversation where they have benefits, but nothing to do with avoiding breaking turbos, which is what the aftermarket BOV made all the fan boys, tuners, and modders believe was the only purpose for them...
    • But they do so for the other reasons to have a compressor bypass. It's in the name.
