Had boost leak from stock BOV so fitted a Turbosmart Kompact Plumb back.

Fixed the leak but now have shudder.

This flutters on release and shudders the car quite a bit around 80 km/h and over.

Assuming it's the recirc pressure causing the problem ?

Any way to fix this ?

cheers

Hey mate, i dont have a solution, but i did have the same issue, also did it under load up hill at lower speed on gear change.

Another thing i found was with the bov and hi flow i had the engine cut out at max revs in 2nd, watch out for it, ull.head butt the windscreen!

Happy hunting mate, im keen to see if theres a solution!

aahh that was my next question ?

didn't think it was adjustable .

there's no mention of adjustment in the instructions...

aren't they just set to a certain spring rate ?

I have a dual port I would swap you for, I prefer the single, but the dual is adjustable so you can tune out the stuttering.

At least now you know why the stock BOV leaks, it's done from factory to remove that stuttering.

There are two things that can cause this. Too hard a spring (turbosmart can supply a softer Spring) and in some cases (mine one of them) there is a retractor in the bov control vaccine line. I replaced that line and the shudder went away.

so the Nissan Kompact Plumb Back isn't adjustable ?

what about blocking the recirc ?

if you can tune it out with the dual port, it must be the recirc pressure causing it

i changed from Blitz plumb back --> Stock BOV --> Turbosmart Kompact plumb back

Blitz is adjustable with soft spring --> has shudder (pigeon sound)

Stock BOV --> big leak over 17-18 psi

Turbosmart kompact --> has shudder (pigeon sound)

i did some changes below:

1. keep BOV vacuumto plenum (no.1 in screenshot)

2. join stock ECU boost sensor with stock boost gauge sensor together and connect to plenum (keep using stock boost gauge sensor vacuum (no.2 in screenshot)

3. using a long vacuum pipe connect from stock ECU boost sensor vacuum source to intake pipe (share with stock boost controller solenoid) (no.3 in screenshot)

that could slightly reduce the shudder but can't 100% sort it.

A tune can sort it to some extent, but it really needs to remain plumbed back to the intake, or the afm will misread the airflow and dump fuel. You need a MAP ecu to vent atmospherically without affecting the tune.

You can block the bov but you will get sick dose, and probably snap the turbine off it's shaft.

No shudder on mine since the first tune, I have had the Kompact on for 5 years now, very reliable and quiet with the stock airbox.

Jesus Christ, All that extra wiring and lines is hurting my brain! Don't you at least try to hide extra wiring in your engine bay?

Why have you connected the BOV to the wastegate pressure reference line?

The BOV needs a pressure/vac signal on the engine side of the throttle body. Without vacuum; the BOV won't open when the throttle closes.

I put a grub screw in the OEM BOV bypass, no sick dose sounds and no studder, but that could be because my Hypergear SS2 is currently hella laggy. Did pick up a noticeable improvement is response with an extra 2psi at the same boost setpoint.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
