Just a question to save me some stuffing about.

I have an airleak like sound once the engine trys to come on boost and power flattens off along with boost not really holding.

Other than that the engine idles great and runs very nicely under load upto the point where you try to get some boost happening.

It all started after I was demonstrating the NOS system to Miko the other night and blew off an intercooler hose, as always you crap yourself when that happens :). Due to lateness of the hour MIko and I took 4 times as long as a single non-tired person would to fix the hose.

Anyway I specualte the BOV and hope it isn't a turbo gasket or something.

Input apreciated.

Rev - I thought the standard BOV was good for 1000hp at 10 Bar? :)

Seriously - sounds like the BOV. I've got a stock one sitting round that you can bolt on to test if you like. Drop me a PM and I can give it to you over the weekend.

hey i have go fast bits mach 1 trumpet bov and i reckon its pretty good (its red) hehe hehe well anyway ive got no leaks or nothing they reckon the gfb bov are one of the strongest and have a special seal and they dont leak.. i got mates with hks and one like that and he has leaking trouble to.. well ive had 2 gfb bov and no trouble yet so im happy with them and gonna stick with them.. happy bov customer.. talk to tecknik audio they did the coolest job.. ohh sorry are you allowed to plug perfomance shops .. ahh well.. old skool cuz

The BOV I suspect because the leak occurs under boost only and has not got any worse. It could be a small split in a hose that opens up under boost too, but I think the BOV might be the first port of call (easiest to check).

I think I missed the cruise this morning, I was up till 3am last nite working out the family finances for a tax evaluation :(

It was leaking around a plug that was installed to block a pipe.. only very minor though. Not sure if it would've cause the problems that Rev was describing..

You're a curious little cat this morning aren't ya? :)

Cam,

it appears that it is probably the little vacume hose we found. Even after we blocked it up as soon as I took off it was doing the same thing again. Normally when I take off quick I get a decent amount of wheel spin, unlike last night.

I'll probably do a propper job of blocking the hose off today and see what happens.

    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
