when on track and wot I get a rather high pitched pschht.. I have the stock bov and my fmic isnt huge but it is free flowing. meh. is pretty much non existent to anyone not in the cabin any other time, basically very quiet on light throttle ie street driving.

forgot to mention that my return piping is red rubber.. red is better!

In regards to what JiVE said:

"And if your after the 'flutter' sound this can also be acheived through the stock bov. Just get a POD and pull the vacum hose out of the BOV. Make sure you block it off real good however, or you will stall."

Have any of you guys actually done that? And what is it about that that would flutter? I've heard of the fluttering before, but i don't know what causes it.

And what sort of effect would this have on driving and safety of my engine and parts?

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but was this ever clarified?

No no no

This will do the complete opposite to whats good

Will open and leak boost when you up it. It will flutter on boost levels where the spring tension is not overcome yes, but you will loose lots of power when it has enough boost to over come the spring

Think about the purpose of the vac line. Provides vac on closed throttle conditions and pressure when boosting to keep the valve closed.

Quick question;

I recently upgraded my inlet pipe(stock rubber) to an aluminum pbm inlet pipe .( for better breathing) . Doing so I had to delete a metal pipe that recirculates air from my bov back to my intake /inlet pipe. Bov is now releasing to atmosphere causing my rpms to crumble and engine almost wants to die off when I rev it. But idle is smooth on its own unless I rev it .i can drive it but when I come to a stop it wants to die off but it will fight on its own to stay on ,it just ruff idles for a bit and goes to steady idle after a sec or two.. By the way my stock bov is pretty loud for being oem as for this topic...

to my understanding this engine was built to reserculate the bov air back to the engine ... . My question is...is there a way to trick my engine/ ecu to running normal as if the bov air was normally recirculating back to my engine or do I have to get a tune to adjust the new setting ?

    • 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).
