Hi guys,

My lil bro just installed a Tomei BOV in his evo after previously having no BOV. Previously he had a compressor surge noise which is the loud flutter.

He installed the BOV and it plums backs into the intake system. He was expecting it to sound stock however it is still making the loud flutter on all boost levels and RPM ...

Any idea as to what could be the issue ? The BOV is brand new from the package.

Thanks

sounds about right to me.

my mate has a hks super seqential and it still chu chu's

Fail...

It should NOT "chu chu" assuming you've set the correct spring tension on the BOV.

1. Ensure that there is vaccum on the hose connecting to the BOV while running, maybe you've installed a line that has no vaccum.

2. Play around with the spring tension to make it soft enough to avoid compression surge, but hard enough so it doesn't leak.

Is it far away from the TB?

Usually the BOV should be installed 30cm away from the trottle body to ensure optimal performance.

If it's closer to the turbo side, there will be some compression surge.

Have you tried loosening the tension in the spring?

after closer inspection, he noticed the lil hose that connects to top of Bov didnt lead anywhere. It was supposed to run into the intake manifold.

Car sounds and goes better now. nicer to drive after gear changed and has a small "chu" after acceleration.

so turbz-rb25 was right . "1. Ensure that there is vaccum on the hose connecting to the BOV while running, maybe you've installed a line that has no vaccum."

    • Yeah, sort of blurring two different things together, aren't we? I just meant O2 feedback closed loop. I used to have a 0-1V LCD meter on my dash, wired directly to the O2 sensor signal. So you could easily see what it was doing. Normal running it would flick back and forth nicely. Slow down to an idle and it would keep flicking, as the ECU tried to servo to maintain stoich, but it would slow down as each swing happened until it would stay at one end of the scale. As I said above, the sensor heater is not enough to keep it hot enough when there is also little heat in the exhaust flow. Give it a blip and it would start swinging again, then peter out again. Meanwhile, idle speed control would run just fine, because unrelated.
    • It's not even O2 feedback, it's just simply when the ECU sees the closed TPS signal for whatever reason the idle will start steadily dropping until the engine dies. With the TPS adjusted to not trigger closed TPS it will idle at some ridiculously high RPM and something like 6 degrees of timing. In the absence of getting eyes on it personally and a lot of quality time doing diagnostics I couldn't tell you what the real problem was but it was interesting nonetheless
    • Oof. One of my mates has an R34 GT-R that he initially was a "I want to go twins for response and convenience" on his stock 2.6 with Kelford 272 cams, but his friends are pests and were always in his ear about their place being in the bin.   Eventually one of the 2860-5s decided to add it's own input and force his hand, so he conceded and went for a Pulsar 6262G ("G35 900") with T4 0.85 hotside.    Here's an overlay of the results, same cams, same stock bottom end, same boost, same fuel, just from a pretty tidy 2860-5 install to a Pulsar turbo on a 6boost maniifold on BP98.   Worth mentioning here, it may seem like a dead horse thing but the dyno plot doesn't tell the story of how much better it is to drive - transient response has completely changed the car, he used to have flat foot shifting to stop it having to wind up again on gear changes even at >7000rpm... now it builds boost faster than that even short shifting.   It's 100% transformed the car before you even consider how much better it holds on: Pulsar and Garrett aren't the same, but from our experience if you're just looking for a better drive and the ability to make the same or more power I think the divided G30 770 would probably be the smallest I'd go to.
    • Great work Duncan, any events local you will give it a test once all done?
