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.

    • 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.
