Dave notice the plural

Shazza i have found be honest with the police to the best of you knowledge, you are not a mechanic if that makes sense

for example my car sounds loud but a police officer asked me if it was too loud and i said to be honest i have no idea, as its never been tested so there was no point me making assumptions that it was too loud

so, this tsuuuu sound, what does it do? like, i see the original bov has more u's after it therefore its a longer kind of sound right?

Hey fellas,

Quick question...

What about, if I did the Cole can trick, drilled a small whole in the centre of the aluminium... Would that mean it would only flutter a small bit or when I rev the shot out of it???

As I was thinking then when I drive it easy it won't flutter?

Anyone know?

I suspect the flutter will just be a bit quieter than fully blocked, as you are letting a bit of air escape. Its the same as an adjustable BOV when you tighten it to only release a small amount of pressure.

I think Damo is being sarcastic, Jamie. If there is a small hole then only a little bit of air will flow out. For example on full throttle release (rev out) you should get flutter and bit of stockie wssssh and on partial throttle release (4000rpm gear change) you should get just the wsssssh sound and maybe the tiniest bit of flutter :D

Wicked! That's what I'm looking for!!!! So I can still be in stealth mode if I need to be... :)

You drive a skyline there is no such thing as stealth mode

Leave the car at home = stealth mode

Jamie, Steve is correct on this one mate. If you want to drive it in stealth mode then just return the car back to stock and that will be the only way to get about lol. I have an adjustable BOV if you wanna try it and see it this is what you are after.

Hey guys,

just completed the experiment of blocking off the bov however leaving some holes so that it can still be silent when you drive soft and flutter when you give it a bit...

So far it went well... It took a couple of goes to get the right amount of small holes into the aluminum so that it would be at the right pressure but it seemed to have worked...

I can see what you mean guys, when you say that I may need thicker aluminium due to the stress it will be under but we will see how it goes.

Thanks for the offer krishy, however I'm trying to stay away from after market bov due to that being one of the first things cops look for when they pop your hood... :(

Anyways... If people have been thinking of blocking their bov for the sound, maybe the way I have done it would be a good option... :)

cheers

Take it for a test drive and let us know how it sounds compared with before :thumbsup:

Took it for a run on PRIVATE PROPERTY (cough cough) and it sounded great... none of those stalling issues either...

As mentioned in above post, you can drive it softly with no flutter and if you want it to flutter just give it some stick!!!! :)

All is good...

(now to take it off so that i can drive on the public roads again withought being defected by the boys in blue....)

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
