Today I decided to swap my standard bov on my r33 to a greddy type s and found a dilemma..

The greddy type s is ment to have a loud laser sound that was achieved on my other turbo cars (r32,33x2)

The laser sound was a bit quiet and could still hear the "woosh" that the standard bov made out of the pod even though it's Not re-circulated back the the turbo intake..

So I decided to block the bov outlet with my hand, expecting to here compresser surge (fluttering) but to my shock could still hear the woosh out of the pod filter.

I scoped out the intake pipe and looks all good..

Why is it doing this ??!

Doesn't feel dead or on it's way out?

Minimal shaft play running stock boost, no smoke or oil burning.

just wanting something different.. driving the car 2 hours a day the same sounds gets boring lol

Also running map sensor (microtech ecu) so doesn't stall like the guys running afms

Ok . Glad to hear it's a map ecu so you can play bov sound effect game without starting the next "car stalling or bogging down" thread!

Definitely seems odd the noise you are getting.... not sure what's going on there.

A duck whistle should fix that, just glue it in place of the 'LASER'

I always wanted to know how a whoopie cushion would go if you chopped it up a little and plump it back under the passenger seat...

I bought a greddy type rs bov and had troubles with it. i found that the diaphram assembly had creased in assembly and would open but no close properly...you need to tighten up the spring pressure quite a lot and check the bov to make sure the diaphram isn't getting trapped. i soaked mine for a while in olive oil to get the diaphram working again.

the wooshing sound was the bov actually leaking in my case....do you get any boost pressure when you hear the wooshing ?

Today I decided to swap my standard bov on my r33 to a greddy type s and found a dilemma..

Sooooo put the one that works back on. The stock one had been doing a great job for the last 20 years, why change it?

Found the problem...

Finally got around to pulling the bumper and cooler off to find out there was a huge split in the standard cooler piping, right underneath the pod filter hence why the sound was coming from the pod even though I blocked the bov.

Now time for some boost ;)

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
