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'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
