its there mate

it just doesn't vent during gear changes as the throttle body doesn't close.

if your car is auto, try accelerating with the gearstick in gear 1 and watch the boost rise. then just release the accelerator and listen...

its still effective in preventing backflow through the turbo (compressor surge) as this can happen regardless of transmission style.

Waz.

wouldnt it sounds real real poxy if u got an aftermarket one which vents into the atmosphere for the whole pppppsssshhhhh sound. i thought u would have to accelerate and then realease ur foot for the whole GEAR CHANGE EFFECT SOUND?

am i right or wrong?

Yeh sorry guys i was talking bout an aftermarket Blow Off Valve cause i wasnt that "whoosh" sound... so it still goes allright then?

Also all, i hear this sound on silvia s15's and some gts-t's, its a spooling noise with a fluttering at the conclusion of this spooling, i have heard its got something to do with the pluming or something, that the gas is bouncing in the pipes, hence the butterfly/fluttering noise, so my question is...how do i do this? what is it? and is it bad for the car? as in turbo,engine whatever...

thanks once again.

Fluttering = bad longterm

All that is is the compressed air flowing back on to the blades of the turbo, at high RPM these blades are moving really fast...

It wont destroy a turbo.... yes it does sound cool, but over time this will weaken the turbo. If you want to make this noise..... get a aftermarket BOV (adjustable) and tighten it right up so the spring hardly moves (open's) and then you will hear the sound. You might have to run higher than stock boost tho....

nickg,

The standard BOV can have the psssht noise if you put a screw in the small air bleed on the underside of the factory BOV. If you have a pod filter the noise will be reasonably loud and the best thing is the cops can't ping you for it.

    • Yeah good luck out there! Will be good to see a mighty GTST going harder than the GTRs
    • i will be there 😁
    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
