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?

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
