Hey guys.

My M35 seems to be farting when under full boost at around 3-4000rpm. I remember reading about people saying it was either an exhaust leak or an issue with the BOV.

Has anyone found a fix for the farting? I remember reading about someone ordering a new BOV but never heard the outcome..

I was wondering if a stock R32/33/34 GT-R BOV would bolt strait on as a replacement of the stock BOV?

Cheers! icon_e_smile.gif

Hey Chris,

I would doubt compatibility of any R Skyline BOV due to the VQ engine. I could be incorrect but I doubt they would be a straight bolt on.

I was looking into a TurboSmart Dual Port BOV but I've put it off until the ECU's are remappable and the highflow turbo project get's underway.

I'm trying to think off the top of my head who may have done an M35 BOV replacement and the only one I can think of has sold his Stagea and downgraded to a Lexus or something like that LOL

I can't confirm 100% but I was just reading something on Turbosmart and it may be fact that the Dual Port will NOT fit the vq25det with the trumpet fitted, so either drop the trumpet or opt for the Kompact Dual Port.

Hey that was me with the farting stagea,

I was told it was most likely an issue with the bov, I've ordered a new Nissan one ($250) and was going get it fitted this week...... until the top tank on my radiator split.....

So once I get my car back and get the BOV fitted I'll let you know. It's been a pretty long process and I'm hoping to get it all sorted before I drive to QLD at the end of the month.

Cheers.

I doubt it will be the bov, more chance one of the cooler hoses has split or the exhaust manifold is leaking.

+1 :laugh:

Chris, if you really want to go with an aftermarket BOV, perhaps look at the Greddy RZ unit?

It can be used either venting to atmosphere :laugh: or plumb back :laugh: and is good for up to a claimed 400hp.

If you plan to go with more power, perhaps the HKS SSQV unit?

I don't see how it's the BOV. They are closed under pressure when they aren't operating so how can they leak!? Doesn't really make sense that it can be doing the exact opposite of its intended purpose even without a spring at all the pressure would still keep it closed under power.

Let me know how you end up going!

I will look further into it. Cheers.

It seems to make the farting noise once I am on peak boost and then lift off the throttle or once it shifts. I can keep the farting going if I feather the throttle... So I was thinking its either the exhaust or BOV.

I just rang Turbosmart to get the low-down on what the most suitable BOV is for the M35.

The Kompact Plumb Back - Nissan (TS-0203-1226) is suitable for the stock ceramic turbo and for a GCG Highflow PROVIDING you don't turn up the boost. So that is pretty much a no go for those who wish to dial up the power output in regards to PSI.

The best option for a higher PSI is the Nissan Dual Port (TS-0205-1026), as mentioned earlier you cannot run the trumpet due to the restricted space, it is recommended you don't have the trumpet on and block the outlet (Turbosmart have a Port Blanking Plug that does the job). The unit would have to operate as 100% Plumb Back (which was what I'm after anyway).

I've just had a quick look on the net and the pricing is around $460.00 for the Nissan Dual Port.

If anyone can offer any feedback on the Nissan Dual Port please do :)

When they say don't turn up the boost, do they realise we run 1 bar stock? Stock bov is running strong on mine, over 6 months of hard 20psi driving.

They were surprised when I told them what the stock turbo puts out, as soon as I said I would be looking to tune to about 18 - 20psi they stated the kompact unit wouldn't be suitable.

I probably would've gone for the bigger unit anyway but I just wanted to suss it out.

I wonder if the "farting" sound you mention. does it come from over near the passenger side?

I wondering if it is the Wastegate on the turbo blowing open?

I have had it open at times on peak boost (but on mie it was getting suck open until I swapped the solenoid out) and it sounds like a farting noise and boost is limited to 9psi when it does this.

Mine makes the farting noise occasionally, but not very often. What I have noticed is that there is no change in the boost guage when it does happen - which to me would indicate its not a cooler clamp, or BOV but more likely manifold or exhaust...?

Either way its the same sound as in spoolin's car as I have been car for the same noise.

Here is what I have found;

I blocked off the BOV with some rubber and went for a 45min drive to try and make it 'fart'. No farting at all. I get back home and return the BOV to stock - took it for another drive and it farts again.

Here is a quick iPhone recording HERE listen at 15seconds.

    • I had 3 counts over the last couple of weeks once where i got stranded at a jdm paint yard booking in some work. 2nd time was moving the car into the drive way for the inspection and the 3rd was during the inspection for the co2 leak test. Fix: 1st, car off for a hour and half disconnected battery 10mins 4th try car started 2nd, 5th try started 3rd, countless time starting disconnected battery dude was under the hood listening to the starting sequence fuel pump ect.   
    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
