so i did the coke can mod tonight and seemed to get rid of the farting issue... How bad is it not having the blowoff functioning? Should i look into the grub screw mod?

There is mechanism why it may not be good..

But its pseudoscience at best no one really knows and there are many people on either side of the fence... Personally i have never run them in any of my drift cars. 20+ psi. Had no dramas.

yeah well we purposely never ran one on the CTS Drift Car as we found it held the boost better that and the fact it was one less part we had to worry about failing. But i was just worried on a stock car such as these it might have some issues. i guess ill wait n see...haha

  • 2 months later...

Docile... that was not problem when I did that mod.

I found it good when on of off the throttle but when cruising on the Highway at 115kmh it tended to stutter and was very uncomfortable. Had to stop on the trip to remove the grub screw. Fortunatley it only takes 5 minutes to remove.

Did the coke can mod. Very straight forward.

Great results; eliminated the farting, seems to be slightly more responsive, got the fully sick VL flutter sound which is manageable. Certainly turns heads when people look that it is a wagon.

As Andy mentioned, wait till you take it on the highway. Drives like a dog.

I'm not exactly sure what the fix is... but once I changed the intake and tuned it with the E-Manage I no longer get the farting... Have been driving it around for about a year with no issues.

Thanks for the heads up. So far had it cruising at 90kmh at constant speed, seemed quite ok, will see how it goes over 100kmh.

Take it on a long hill and when you try and maintain a steady speed. When you ever so slightly back off the car will begin the shudder.

It drove me nuts. That and the stupid sound. Would be fine if it was a 1000kw beast... but its a wagon... with alot less power.

Took it for a drive today across Melbourne (Moorabbin to Geelong and back). Kept it steady at intervals of 90kmh, 100kmh, 115kmh and 120kmh. If you are steady on the throttle, not like a taxi drive on/off, I could not fault it.

Have to agree. I ran mine with the grub screw for many 10's or thousands of kms on highway, never an issue.

My car has the super hectik vl fluttaz, but I can't work out why. I just assumed it was an a/m bov, and never got round to looking at it.....until my turbo blew.

I've pulled the BOV off and checked all the lines to make sure someone hadn't blocked them for teh fluttaz. Do the BOV's fail very often?

My std BOV did similar, [fully hectic sound included] annoyed the crap out of me and made the car surge on light throttle transitions I took it off to check it out. Ended up having a ruptured diaphragm, I replaced it with std BOV off another VQ25det and the problem was solved, driving the car was so much better.

now just wondering whether to keep it or put on a new stock BOV as I do not want to kill the turbo.....

I replaced mine with a Turbosmart Dual Port. Theo has the same one, and Scotty has a Turbosmart Kompact. Little bit of flutter but if you're smooth it's hardly noticable.

I didn't like the idea of replacing one BOV having issues with a second hand one when they're all prone to doing this.

    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
