hey guys now as title suggests i'd like to know if my blow off valve is push or pull type as i cant seem to find much info on them. im assuming its push type can someone confirm this?

recently when i installed a front mount intercooler the bov sounded different. it used to flutter when i changed gear after only making half boost or so. and if i made full boost it would sound normal, no fluttering (full boost is 10psi).

once the front mount cooler was on it would flutter slowly even after hitting full boost, i assume this is because the added capacity of my intercooler/piping system has increased and there is more compressed air to expel and the spring is set too soft maybe? the lag also got worse. i used to see 10psi at 2900rpm but after install it was more like 3500rpm and the low end torque had turned to complete rubbish.

eventually a light clicked on in my head and i thought i'd wind up the spring in the bov to set it harder. this reduced the lag somewhat and improved the low end torque a bit, still not as good as i'd like. 10psi is now at about ~3200 and the bov sounds normal again after full boost, but no longer flutters on low boost gear changes like it used to.. was the fluttering before at all normal?

also i've been told by a guy at nissan to move my bov to after the intercooler. at the moment it sits halfway between the turbo and the intercooler but apparently thats not the way to do it. it was like that when i bought the car and i never looked much into it.

im looking to pick some brains here so any help is appreciated

I have my blow off valve before intercooler plumbed back into my intake pipe (Might be able to see in my sig?) and my car runs no different to before it was like this

Maybe theres a vac line or somethng loose? because really nothing should have changed except for maybe some slight amount of lag (an additional 500rpm at the most) depending on your IC setup and piping

Did u touch the blow off valve at all? change where the vac/boost line came from?

Sounds like u have a boost leak somewhere, if the bov was ok before the cooler install it wont be that.

check over every join etc carefully, hopefully not a big headache especially if it was a new kit, u can assume hoses and cooler core have no holes.

The cooler itself will have no impact on lag as u mention, dont point ur finger at that either :thumbsup:

Hope that helps somewhat

      Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed

      hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me

      Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.

      You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
