Blocked Bov And Still 'whooshing' Through Pod Filter

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 ;)

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
