The Turrr sound is BAD.... well sounds bad, that was on stock boost.... maybe higher boost will have the desired sound your after.... ot maybe just a louder TRRRRRRRR sound.

I have the Blitz BOV and it makes 1 single realese noise PCHHHHT although you can tighten the spring (via screw) and it will make less noise and tighten it enough you get the TRRRRR sound. After being D fected (Blitz bov was unhooked due to manifold work) i decided ill leave the stock one going for a while.....

block up stock bov or tighten aftermarket venting BOV or run no bov, it helps if u hav a exposed pod as the air escapes thru it, also type of cooler pipes, shape, length etc. how is the flutter different to the dut dut dut (are youreferring to the vl noise?). i hear some turbo cars which actually hav the BOV PSSSHHHfirst and then the flutter directly after, not the flutter during back off in low revs and the psssht while on boost as people usually think, any idea how this is achived out of curiousity

well there is heaps o fideas here but the general feeelin im getting is that it can caome from a sequential bov like a hks ssqv and i right. But also it can come from taking the bov off....but that is not a good idea? if im right can ne1 recommend ne good BOVs for this sound?

If you lossen the springs on your BOV/BOV's then you can get them to bounce on TC.

The ch ch ch sound CAN come from the valve opening then bouncing off the releasing air pressure because the valve spring is wound right off.

People with SSQ don't need to do this to get this effect to some degree because they have two seperate valves that are different sizes and spring rates therefore open at different boost levels. So that is why under a full boost/load release you can hear a puuuuush...ch ch ch. Its the large valve opening followed by the smaller valve flapping after the bigger valve has closed again.

Its also depends whether its a push type or pull type valve. One is better than the other if you're chasing the noise... whatever...

You guys can work out which one is better..

I always thought that cha cha cha was some kind of latino dance move?????

Sebaz

your mate doesent know shit :D

external gates has exhaust gas flowing through it, not the compressed air from the turbo.

How true is your first remark..

and look at some of the other replies to this post.. people still believe that a bov is going to make that sound..

I don't know why I bother giving decent replies sometimes..

I say GTST .... let em do there own R'N'D. That way when they spend way too much $$$$ they might listen to the advice given to them....

This is a public forum, and everyone is a car mechanic ... I mean i invented the wheel, space, earth, stars.... oh hang on.... no i just created everything on the 8th day

don't lie.. we both know I invented the wheel.. not you..

I guess it's like when you're younger and your parents say, don't do this or this will happen or study hard and get your edumacation done so you have more opportunities in the future..

and kids always have to try those things that there parents told them not to do and then go .. oh yeah.. they were right..

oh well. I thought that when it comes to spending money, people might actually listen instead of wasting there money... but.. live and learn I guess... who was it above.. spent $600 on an ARC bov... $600 for a bov?? it is a damn piston, spring and casing... with an adjustment screw on top.. you could make on in metal work class in year 10 if you wanted to..

or you could just realise that you can use the stock one with no problem until way over 200rwkw..

bah!! in the end, people are just STUPID.

On that note..

I have an APEXI TWIN CHAMBER bov for sale..

as used in the fast and furious.. on that supra in the first movie.. it's fully sick and twice as good as any other bov due to it having twice the number of CHAMBERS..

AND, it's shiny, giving it the ability to make all sorts of noises.. AND, it has a different adjuster which you can turn to make it make different noises.. REALLY..

$250 - special offer for all you mechanics.

and if you really want to believe it, the secondary chambers piston flaps around and dances to make all sorts of wonderful noises..

i didnt pay $600 for it, it was in my half cut i bought for my r31 rb20det conversion, but they retail for around $600, hard to find though, i had to do some research to find out a bit more bout it cause i wasnt to familiar with arc stuff, but found a few places that sell em and they are expensive as hell, but i dont care i got it free :D i would only ever pay up to $200 for a bov

a plumb back bov will make hardly any noise...

it will simply be a slight whoosh noise.

if you buy an aftermarket plumback like say from GFB, it will make less noise than the stock skyline plumback bov.

Benefit = skylines have an air flow meter. this measures the amount of air being passed through it and tells the ECU to supply enough fuel for the mixture. when you change gears, the plumback bov dumps this air back in to the air inlet so it is still in the system. with an atmo venting bov, the air gets out of the system via the bov but the ecu still supplies the fuel for the air that was measured as it went past the air flow meter.

so this causes temporary over fueling or running rich.

due to this overfueling a couple of things can/do happen.

1.) backfire on gear change or when you back off the throttle to slow down.

2.) black puff of smoke from exhaust when you get back on the gas after changing gears.

3.) stalling when coming to a stop at lights or intersections.

4.) sometimes car feels sluggish due to rich mistures.

5.) spark plugs foul up quicker.

6.) extra black shit on your rear bumper from the rich fumes out of the exhaust.

with a plumback bov, none of the above issues arrise..

does that answer your question?

your mate doesent know shit :D

external gates has exhaust gas flowing through it, not the compressed air from the turbo.

Thats wat i told him. he talks alot of shit and thinks he knows heaps about cars. not like you guys... you know wat you're talking about. i think i know who my real friends are now. :)

Has anyone ever told you that you should work in sales?

You crack me up Tolga....

so does ne1 reakon a GFB stealth FX would b a good choice of a BOV?

No.

at $500 odd retail, why waste your money.

the purpose of that bov is so that you have it on full plumback when on street and then atmo when on the track for the full sick effect.

HOWEVER, if you have it on your car and set to plumback on the street and the cop checks it over and sees this big ass bov with a trumpet hanging off the side, he will defect you even if it is not set to atmo or half half..

do you have a stock bov? YES

are you running more than 18psi? - probably not

then don't worry about it..

use that $500 to buy a set of whiteline anti-sway bars... at least they AID performance..

    • Any update on this one? did you manage to get it fixed?    i'm having the same issue with my r34 and i believe its to do with the smart entry (keyless) control module but cant be sure without forking out to get a replacement  
    • So this being my first contribution to the SAU forums, I'd like to present and show how I had to solve probably one of the most annoying fixes on any car I've owned: replacing a speedometer (or "speedo") sensor on my newly acquired Series 1 Stagea 260RS Autech Version. I'm simply documenting how I went about to fix this issue, and as I understand it is relatively rare to happen to this generation of cars, it is a gigantic PITA so I hope this helps serve as reference to anyone else who may encounter this issue. NOTE: Although I say this is meant for the 260RS, because the gearbox/drivetrain is shared with the R33 GTR with the 5-speed manual, the application should be exactly the same. Background So after driving my new-to-me Stagea for about 1500km, one night while driving home the speedometer and odometer suddenly stopped working. No clunking noise, no indication something was broken, the speedometer would just stop reading anything and the odometer stopped going up. This is a huge worry for me, because my car is relatively low mileage (only 45k km when purchased) so although I plan to own the car for a long time, a mismatched odometer reading would be hugely detrimental to resale should the day come to sell the car. Thankfully this only occurred a mile or two from home so it wasn't extremely significant. Also, the OCD part of me would be extremely irked if the numbers that showed on my dash doesn't match the actual ageing of the car. Diagnosing I had been in communication with the well renown GTR shop in the USA, U.P.garage up near University Point in Washington state. After some back and forth they said it could be one of two things: 1) The speedometer sensor that goes into the transfer case is broken 2) The actual cluster has a component that went kaput. They said this is common in older Nissan gauge clusters and that would indicate a rebuild is necessary. As I tried to figure out if it was problem #1, I resolved problem #2 by sending my cluster over to Relentless Motorsports in Dallas, TX, whom is local to me and does cluster and ECU rebuilds. He is a one man operation who meticulously replaces every chip, resistor, capacitor, and electronic component on the PCB's on a wide variety of classic and modern cars. His specialty is Lexus and Toyota, but he came highly recommended by Erik of U.P.garage since he does the rebuilds for them on GTR clusters.  For those that don't know, on R32 and R33 GTR gearboxes, the speedometer sensor is mounted in the transfer case and is purely an analog mini "generator" (opposite of an alternator essentially). Based on the speed the sensor spins it generates an AC sine wave voltage up to 5V, and sends that via two wires up to the cluster which then interprets it via the speedometer dial. The signal does NOT go to the ECU first, the wiring goes to the cluster first then the ECU after (or so I'm told).  Problems/Roadblocks I first removed the part from the car on the underside of the transfer case (drain your transfer case fluid/ATF first, guess who found out that the hard way?), and noted the transfer case fluid was EXTREMELY black, most likely never changed on my car. When attempting to turn the gears it felt extremely gritty, as if something was binding the shaft from rotating properly. I got absolutely no voltage reading out of the sensor no matter how fast I turned the shaft. After having to reflow the solder on my AFM sensors based on another SAU guide here, I attempted to disassemble the silicone seal on the back of the sensor to see what happened inside the sensor; turns out, it basically disintegrated itself. Wonderful. Not only had the electrical components destroyed themselves, the magnetic portion on what I thought was on the shaft also chipped and was broken. Solution So solution: find a spare part right? Wrong. Nissan has long discontinued the proper sensor part number 32702-21U19, and it is no longer obtainable either through Nissan NSA or Nissan Japan. I was SOL without proper speed or mileage readings unless I figured out a way to replace this sensor. After tons of Googling and searching on SAU, I found that there IS however a sensor that looks almost exactly like the R33/260RS one: a sensor meant for the R33/R34 GTT and GTS-T with the 5 speed manual. The part number was 25010-21U00, and the body, plug, and shaft all looked exactly the same. The gear was different at the end, but knowing the sensor's gear is held on with a circlip, I figured I could just order the part and swap the gears. Cue me ordering a new part from JustJap down in Kirrawee, NSW, then waiting almost 3 weeks for shipping and customs clearing. The part finally arrives and what did I find? The freaking shaft lengths don't match. $&%* I discussed with Erik how to proceed, and figuring that I basically destroyed the sensor trying to get the shaft out of the damaged sensor from my car. we deemed it too dangerous to try and attempt to swap shafts to the correct length. I had to find a local CNC machinist to help me cut and notch down the shaft. After tons of frantic calling on a Friday afternoon, I managed to get hold of someone and he said he'd be able to do it over half a week. I sent him photos and had him take measurements to match not only the correct length and notch fitment, but also a groove to machine out to hold the retentive circlip. And the end result? *chef's kiss* Perfect. Since I didn't have pliers with me when I picked up the items, I tested the old gear and circlip on. Perfect fit. After that it was simply swapping out the plug bracket to the new sensor, mount it on the transfer case, refill with ATF/Nissan Matic Fluid D, then test out function. Thankfully with the rebuilt cluster and the new sensor, both the speedometer and odometer and now working properly!   And there you have it. About 5-6 weeks of headaches wrapped up in a 15 minute photo essay. As I was told it is rare for sensors of this generation to die so dramatically, but you never know what could go wrong with a 25+ year old car. I HOPE that no one else has to go through this problem like I did, so with my take on a solution I hope it helps others who may encounter this issue in the future. For the TL;DR: 1) Sensor breaks. 2) Find a replacement GTT/GTS-T sensor. 3) Find a CNC machinist to have you cut it down to proper specs. 4) Reinstall then pray to the JDM gods.   Hope this guide/story helps anyone else encountering this problem!

    • perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML
    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...
