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

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
