Now what i mean by 'spirited driving' is not really from traffic light to traffic light. With a mate on a rolling start ive pushed it and braked to start on a roll, over and over again. Then there was a point where i realised that i was losing power, getting BOV Flutter as if i have no BOV, and NO pod filter intake sound at all! The weird thing is, i only get this issue for about a minute, then it goes back to normal where i gain the power back, hear the bov properly and also hear the intake sound. If this was the first time, i would of thought i heard wrong, but this is the 2nd time it happened. THe first time was after abit of spirited driving in the same style as well.

Ive got a HKS SSQV BOV, and im not sure if its real or fake cuz ive just bought it 2nd hand privately. Im thinking maybe it could be the BOV as i haven't had this issue before i put the HKS BOV on. But its been a long long while since ive put it on and i haven't noticed it so far till recently since i haven't really had much spirited driving or track since.

What are the possibilities for this happening?

- HKS SSQV BOV ( LEAK?)

- My Stock TURBO?

Need some help on this guys. Thanks alot for any input!

thanks for the replies. If i block the BOV off completely, wouldn't i still need to give it a bit of pushing to wait for it to occur again? Cuz its very random.

Im going to try put the stock one back on to see if it solves the issue. So everyone is just agreeing that it may very well be the BOV and can be nothing else such as the turbo? Cuz the pipes are all fine and connected. Should be no leak but then again, its a random thing so... I don't get iT?

are you still running the standard rubber air intake to the turbo? have heard of these sucking closed, would explain the loss of turbo spool sound and so on

standard rubber air intake? Sorry but wats that? Everythings basically standard except K&N pod filter, EBC, BOV in the engine bay area. SO im assuming i do have the standard rubber air intake.

If this could cause the issues ive described, could you please help me out in more sense to myself plz?

the intake pipe (between the air flow meter and the inlet of the turbo) is fairley soft on a r34 gtt. sometimes when the car is under full load on boost it can suck the intake pipe shut, kinda like if u put your hand around it and sqeezed it together.

Most people go about fixing that problem by cutting the intake pipe in the middle and putting a metal joiner in it, or buy a aftermarket silicon intake pipe from just jap etc.

oh serious!? thanks heaps barney for the help~ so i guess its not the BOV after all...

Ill go about replacing the intake pipe to an aftermarket silicon then.

Cheers

    • I used to have Walbro 255's when they were a pretty common update. (or were they 044? 040?) In any case I had a dirty tank. I thought the tank was good, but I would find the filter would clog in maybe ~50km of driving. If the issue persists, well, your fuel system or tank has crap in it that the pump is sucking up.
    • Hi. Ok thanks for the info. I/we do not know what tune is on that Nistune ECU so it is why there is stock ECU and that Nistune is for later when the car is done. I have guy who tunes Nistune and other ECU so i will then take it to him to see and properly tune for the car   And for the update. On 99,9% it is bad fuel pump. Which is wierd cuz it is like 2 years old(brand new walbro 255) and that filter (also brand new) was dirty.  I was alwaya pumped premium(100) on very good petrol station so i dont know how is that possible...  
    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here
