There's tinkering and then there is f**king around.

Turn your speakers down before listening hahaha. Sounds like thunder or a bomb going off when it opens.

Is it just me or has this thread gone full circle a few times? The best way to avoid shutter from an aftermarket bov is to tune to match or keep the stock one and avoid the shutter, is that pretty mu

Eh.. I have a gfb response.. once the factory one started krooing and not holding boost i knew it was a goneburger..

Good thing is you can adjust it to full recirc, or full vent, or anywhere in between.

I have it full recirc with a bit of choo choo choo under light depress but the shudder is almost non existent.

It has a spring tension bolt at the top which can be wound in or wound out or you can purchase a softer spring.

When its 75% recirc and 25% vent it sounds nice with a PoPshhh.. some like some dont lol..

I don't mind the sound, I just hate the fact it dumps precious fuel down the exhaust every time it TuTu's.

ok so looking at the softer spring option since I already bought the plumb back.

Turbosmart website not very comprehensive on information.

So stock spring is : -19 InHg high vac and -9 InHg low vac

soft spring is : -13 InHg high vac and -3 InHg low vac

Will the soft spring hold a solid 18-19 psi with a high flow on the VQ25DET and will it fix the shudder or just reduce it ?

You need to understand how a BOV works, there is equal pressure on both sides of the piston under boost, so theoretically any spring should hold boost without opening.

If you don't want the shudder, put the stock BOV back on, or tune the car to get rid of the hesitation. Any modification from stock will take the ecu out of it's normal operating conditions and ruin the drivability to some extent, you usually go backwards unless the engine is tuned to compensate, especially with boost.

Exactly; technically the spring really only needs to return the piston to it's seat after a pressure relief event.

The spring in the OEM BOV is very light.

Would it be possible to drill a pilot hole/bypass port (only 2-3mm dia) in the piston of the turbosmart to allow an amount of bypass air like a stock BOV?

This might give the benefit of a better sealing BOV, without the issues with transient spiking.

The stock BOV plastic disc is floating on the shaft and starts to leak with age. I replaced mine with a GTR item from my old 33R which doesn't use the bleed hole and has a larger discharge area and metal disc over plastic. Spool up improved. No shudder.

33GTR BOV. Softer spring. No stutter, seems to hold boost ok. Much bigger discharge port. MAFLESS tune

I'll do some logging on the way to work to check boost levels.

Hmm okay, have put in the soft spring in the Turbosmart Plumb back, still have shudder but not as violent.

Haven't tested it on freeway driving yet which is the worst, but still expect a bit.

Anyone tried the Greddy floating valve type- dual spring ?

Also huge price difference in the Turbosmart dual port and Greddy FV style.

I know stock BOV or lowering the boost will sort it out, but I want to run high boost if I can.

yep checked it, no restrictor.

I'm blown away how smooth and comfortable the M35 is to drive.

The shudder really spoils this for me.

Maybe the re-circ port is too close to the AFM ?

Or do you think the shudder is reversion through the turbo ?

Yes the size of the vacuum line helps. Smaller id and it will add to the cause of the shudder. The reason why they went away from the dual vent system or push pull was because of the leak in the diaphragm which end up leaning your engine to the point of detonation and stalling. Especially in the cheap copies that popped up.

You'd think the resonator would improve it, that's it's purpose to absorb pulses.

Anyway,

Changing the intake with an AMPerformance soon.

Hoping it will better.

Might give the floating valve type BOV a go.

I suspect the shudder is caused by the BOV valve bouncing up and down on the spring.

Did you notice instant shudder after putting in the grub screw on the stock BOV ?

Is it just the extra 2 psi causing this.. Doubt it.

The stocker must open much more easily then, than the Turbosmart...

Have a look at the Greddy FV valves ( floating valves)

They are supposed to open much quicker than single spring.

The only thing is the 40mm outlet, having trouble finding a 40-30 reducer

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
