Bov Causing Shudder

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.

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

    • Go to SP mufflers and get the muffler of size you want and make a nice mid muffler. It's about that simple! I have 2x 3.5 Magnaflow straight through Mufflers and while it's pretty loud with the Varex open, it's quiet enough with the Varex closed. You can also buy off the shelf Magnaflow straight through mufflers as well. You also have a turbo to quiet the car down too. Don't overthink it. Buy my extra Magnaflow muffler sitting on a shelf doing nothing (buy it new, ignore this part)
    • Centre-offset muffler under the floor, same as stock. Just....3.5". The change from straight pipe there to centre-offset will mean that you need to remake some of the pipe (add a bend or two).
    • Hey guys. So my R34 GTT has a custom 3.5” exhaust (done by previous owner) with a high flowing cat, and then just a Varex cannon muffler on the back. The car does drone alot and is really loud even on highway driving just cruising, as you can imagine due to the Varex muffler basically being a straight through with the valve open. As much as i love a loud RB, it can be a bit much with no other muffling in line and just driving casually. I wanted to lower the volume output on the exhaust a bit, as well as remove the drone (probably a way to do both at once), and was going to do it all myself as I am a fabricator and have done exhaust work in the past, so the fab work isnt my issue, im just not sure on the right product or type of product to use to get the job done, and i doubt an exhaust shop would be wanting to help me as they wont be making any money from helping me, unless they supplied the product? Anyway any help or guidance in best way to approach this would be awesome   Thanks in advance
    • Meh, whilst the Honda is a "really" good car and has potential if you want to drop coin on, it was uninspiring for me to look at, but, it did serve its purpose and is now in the boys hands, his happy, his girl is happy, as she wasn't to keen on the noisy old Patrol, and most importantly, the Minister for War and Finances is extremely happy that her "little baby boy" (6'2 nugget who is currently training to be a copper, which will make 3 coppers in the immediate "circle of trust") has a well sorted reliable car that doesn't guzzle diesel Me, I'm more than happy with the NC MX5 that I replaced it with, it's a fun little car that I like looking at, like driving, and yes..... I do like the fact that the maintenance and modifications that I have done/will do are plentiful and relatively cheap, well........ while staying naturally aspirated slow that is, and that's all I really need for a fun little daily, I can rev the 5hit out of it rowing through the gears and never really break the speed limit  In saying that wicked word, "modifications", I've already ordered something for some noise and an additional "3 ish" horse powers, or whatever it gives, in the form of a header, and, a new set of "cheapo" BC coilovers that are already sitting in the shed waiting to get put in, I had the same BC's in my old NB and found they were fine for the street, hwy, and the occasional track days I did in it, they have 6kg front and 4kg rear springs which is about 10% stiffer than the stock springs which I found worked well for their price  I've also already been in touch with MX5 Mania in Dural, so once the header is on it will get a ECUTek RaceROM tune there (I cannot rev match for 5hit, and I loved the RaceROM rev match and FFS in my old 86 "RIP") In other, maintenance news, I put some new sparkler plugs in it, and have a new set of DBA Street series pads to put in over the next day or so, I'm running the DBA street series in the SS and Honda and really like them, they work great and are not dusty at all I've also booked in a few days leave over this weekend to give me 4 days weekend do some paint correction and give the leather seats some conditioning and interior some Bissell and steam cleaning OCD lovin', the carpet and interior looks clean, but from my experience with the Bissell IRT carpet, and the steam cleaner IRT trim, looks can be deceiving I've also found that finding a detachable hard top is proving problematic, the main reason why I didn't like the NC initially was the power retractable hard top that I seen them with gave the roof line a weird look, the detachable roof though looks good, and is a same shape as a NA/NB hard top, similar, but unfortunately not the same as it has different fixture point on the front, so fitting a easy to get NA/NB detachable hard top is no bueno New Old cars are fun, cleaning, hunting and playing around brings much joy How are your beasties going? Do you still have the Skyline with the LS???, or Barra??? that you were playing with
