hi guys..im having problem with my ssqv bov..i bought the bov thru here so its 2nd hand..the problem is that everytime i rev it while in idle....it goes thru the pod and not the bov..so i get a flutter....so i checked my vac lines and loose the adjustment and its still doing the same...flutter.......so i checked the bov....it seems that the bov is not popping the way it is meant too...so i grabbed a stick and while i revved the car i pushed inside the bov and it seemed that it has a hard tension.... but i adjusted the back to loose....so what i did is to clean the inside...which i did.....chucked it back on and it still doing the same problem?? im running on 12psi with all the support mods.......plz someone help me....i already checked all the forums but they are not the same problem as i have....i need your opinions..thanks a bunch

ok..ima try dat now..however i saw on one of the forum that to cut the spring a to a desired tension....however ima try and go for a ride now and will tell ya's the outcome...if it still doing the flutter i may cut the spring....need help guys

im having the same issue with my turbosmart type 3 plumb back ( dont have it on the car currently) ive cleaned it out so the piston slides nice but its only at higher revs when it will open at lower revs it simply doesnt open and i get flutters. have thought about buying a different rate spring to go into it to make it a bit easier for it to open. Im only running stock boost tho (9psi). interesting to see how this is fixed

yea it does flutter.....i rev it up to 4000rpm and it still flutters......not enuff boost on 12psi??? btw thanks for quick rep

sitting at idle isnt the best time to judge it. go for a drive rev it to about 4 or 5 and then see if it still flutters

i just came back from driving...i redline most of the gears and it still flutters..my only choice now is to cut bit of the spring inside...i didnt everything...and still flutters....opinions anyone?

real or fake hks one? have you loosened it to the lowest setting. make sure you dont over do it or you will screw up the bov. the screw should only come out about 1.5-2cms and then stop. if you keep going you will unwind it off from something on the inside then break it. was it working when you bought it or is this the first time you put it on? maybe you get ripped off and sold a broken/fake one.

the flutter is the sound of the turbo spinning backwards, sounds cool but its not awesome as it puts quite a bit of load on the compressor wheel and the shaft.

ROFL!!!!!!! :( Try blowing into a leaf blower, see what happens.

But i digress, lets not start that debate again.

Just loosen the screw on the BOV. If all else fails, put the stocker back on

Are you positive that you have loosened it and not tightened it mate....i ran a GFB Stealth FX for a while ages ago and on the hardest setting it would flutter but on the lowest setting it would just vent....so maybe try turning it the other way and see if that makes a difference....Flutter isnt all that bad

also i heard it was unhealthy for the car to flutter coz its going back to turbo or something....can someone confirm....

I have been running my stock turbo with the BOV blocked off....just for the flutter...car is running 12psi all day everyday for the last 2 years and making decent power 214.4rwkw on 12psi with the stock turbo and its a R33 S1 no issues whatsoever and it gets a thrashing as its a weekender

is it true that if u don't recirculate the excess pressure from Ur bov back into the system it can cause issues? i had a hks ssqv fitted to mine for a short amount of time but did int have the hose blocked, i found my car stalling etc, and when i took it off and replaced it with the stock one i found my car running very rich and miss firing alot untill the ecu reset y was that

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
