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 ?

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 ;)

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
