Strange Sound When Coming Off Boost

As the Stagea is still new to me and I'm just getting used to it, I hope i can be forgiven for asking some stupid questions.

A few times now I have noticed that if I give it a bit of a squirt the Turbo whistles nicely and everything is happy, then just as I lift my right foot I sometimes here a strange sound. I wondered if it was just the normal sound of the pressure being released? It doesn't happen every time which got me thinking that it wasn't normal.

How does the VQ25DET normally sound with a stock turbo and stock exhaust when dumping pressure?

OK so it's a bit of a stupid question without a sound clip to explain it better i know.

Usually the turbo is just on from 2000 rpm all the way and whistles away nicely all day during normal driving so i think its OK.

Maybe we should start a whole thread with sound recordings for your listening pleasure. :whistling:

Any weird noises should be checked out, the stock turbo would have been nearly silent when new. I have a good one here that barely makes any noise. I will check it out on Saturday, it may pay to search for the "cleaning the banjo bolt" threads as lack of oil supply would be one of the major factors in turbo failure imo.

Hi Chris,

Have a look at the threads where "Farting BOV" is mentioned.

The stock BOV can begin to fail sometimes, causing this sound which is almost like a shudder through the car at times.

You'll notice it gets worse over time too.

There's a few solutions; you can go OEM/Stock Bypass Valve from Nissan or a direct aftermarket replacement with the Turbosmart Dual Port (part number TS-0205-1026) and i'm sure there are a few others too.

I ended up going for the Turbosmart option and i think a few others on here have too. Fixed the problem immediately, direct fit and really no adjustment required initially, just bolt on.

One thing to note though, even in full plumb back mode the Turbosmart can sill be heard releasing the pressure but it's a standard BOV sound and not a fart!

Hope that helps mate,

Jas

Crikey you guys are good!!!

Yes it sounds like a fart an it can make the car shudder.

Also transmission crossed my mind as it can do it through boost when it shifts gear.

I couldn't get the car to do it today as it is intermittent.

Is this an expensive part? Warranty item from the dealer under statutory warranty or not worth the hassle?

Perhaps do the coke can under the BOV trick and see if the noise goes away. Or drop in and I can quickly tap a thread into the BOV bypass hole and see if it helps. Its a fairly simple valve at the end of the day.

Scotty, your unreal. Hopefully see you Saturday and we can make a plan then.

Cheers

Scott, just noticed that Saturdays cruise has been postponed.

When and where would i pop in to? PM me if you like.

Thanks

Sounds exactly like the problem Chris.

I'd try as Scott suggested to ensure it is the problem before shelling out coin on the problem.

If you do need to get one, i can recommend Boostn Imports www.boostnimports.com , Paid $387 delivered, Mick is great to deal with.

I think they might be a Trader on SAU too?

      My apologies. I forgot we were talking about weird beard M series stuff. Had been talking elsewhere with someone about an R33 with similar subject and got confused.

      Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway

      Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.

      I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>
