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 much where we have landed on this?

I think that is the general consensus. Taking steps to ensure you don't have boost or vacuum leaks and checking for restrictìon pill or using proper hose that doesn't "suck in" may help but in the end it's use stock, a good adjustable one or get a tune ?

nah. but. what about 'insert something irrelevant'

Yer, well my Turbosmart Kompact still shudders with the soft spring and I'm pretty sure it's opening on boost too.

Seem to have varying spool / boost levels

There was better spool with the standard spring.

The shudder is on pigeon sound, which means the BOV ain't releasing enough at low boost

The FV series valves are supposed to open more on vacuum than single spring types.

Worth trying , especially if it reduces strain on the shaft, and stops me spilling my coffee.

These are selling for over $400 from some sellers.

Scored one for $145

Just waiting on a 29mm recirc adapter from Nengun.

The trumpets unscrew and the adapters fit all three models.

See the fake has silver retainer ring on the base.

I also noticed the Greddy sticker is shit on the fake too.

The spring is way harder to push in and you can hear it grind when it travels.

I sent pics to Greddy, they confirmed it was a fake.

Looking inside the genuine one, the difference in quality is huge.

See how it goes.

either fit stock back or tune the car, otherwise you will always get pigeon sound whatever you use which brand BOV/soft spring

also if you can develop some electric solenoid valve controlled BOV like modern VW/Audi/BMW/Benz, you can also get rid of the pigeon sound

My suggestion, block the kent off and see what the response is like. It is a good way to see what the boost is actually doing too. Do you have a good boost gauge? The only time I have seen shuddering is when the car is running over 20psi untuned.

Mutt,

The Nissan adapter faces the return either up or down.

Meaning I'll need an elbow off the bov, down hits the engine, up bonnet won't close.

Haven't dry fitted yet but it doesn't look good.

I'll have to make my own adapter I think like this one.

I just fitted a stock M35 BOV into a 33gtst, bolts straight in, so I have no idea what's going on there...

The only car I have seen where I couldn't get rid of the juddering was actually running 21psi due to having a 1 bar actuator and still running the stock bleed circuit. What boost does it run on a big uphill stomp? If it's too much that will be your answer. the stock ecu is in protection mode and dumping fuel.

It mostly shudders when I back off at 3-5 psi

Here's the adapter I have.

It puts the vent up or down, not to the side where it needs to be.

Nengun sell one for the RB25DET with all the holes in line.

Yeah that is defiantly the wrong adapter plat you just need one where all the blots holes are in a strait line. Best look at your bov and where the bolt holes are and do some research into a suitable adapter

    • Yeah, hard to find and a pain in the ass to change with the transverse engine. I’ve worked on a GTiR before and it’s not a job I’d ever want to do again. theres a company in South Africa that makes RS3 gearbox adaptors for the AWD SR20 including gearbox mounts, so I could modernise it and go a dual clutch with paddles. For now tho, it ticks all the boxes. Super cheap, can throw the kids and their junk in the back, and SR20 that I can turbo cheaply, a CVT that’s not a dog’s breakfast like the V35, and has 80% interchangeable parts with stuff I can source from the wreckers cheaply…. But it’s still unique. I love the wagon back of the Autech version. It’s cheap enough that I can buy another stock manual FWD Primera with SR20VE, swap the gearbox to the N15 pulsar short gear ratio box, swap out the brakes to the R32 ones I pulled off my 32, register it on club plates and take it racing. $1300 shipping from NZ. Heaps of parts and aftermarket builders for transverse SR20’s in NZ.
    • Hard to say, just pop the rocker covers off and have a look if you think it's cammed. You probably need to replace the valve cover gasket/half moons anyways.
    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.
