I have tried searching everywhere for answers on both BOVs but can't come up with anything.

So the situation is I have both the bovs. The problem is both these bovs are giving me compressor surge at light throttle.

Surge would mean spring is too stif,so the SSQV is as loose as it can get but still doing it.

On the type s,the valve is open at idle because the vacuum was pulling it open,I adjusted the screw on top so that it stays shut at idle,yes it stays shut at idle but it's too stiff to vent at even medium throttle.

The car is running stock boost (rb25) so I'm thinking boost might need to be raised to overcome spring pressure?

Even at light throttle (low boost-5 psi?) with it surging it wouldn't be enough to hurt the turbo?

Any help would be great.

OK. I'll bite. How the hell could it be surging at light load? There is no boost, and even if there is a little bosot you would be so far away from the turbo's surge line that there can be no surge.

If it's 100% recirculated then wind the spring off so that it is sucked open at idle and light load, like it should be.

You should just run the stock BOV, those fully sick atmospheric BOVs are trouble. Trouble with cops, trouble with fuel economy, trouble with randoming stalling, trouble with wallet, etc.

Why won't you use the stock one?

That idle stabiliser thng would help, but you're just installing a band aid on the self inflicted wound.

Also that fluttering won't damage any turbos, it is a myth. I've gone from stock to high flows to aftermarket turbos and never run any form of BOV and have never seen a turbo let go on me. Currently on my latest fridge, I'm not running a BOV either at 0.8bar on the stock ceramic snail. Still going strong, will trash it at Eastern Creek next weekend too.

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
