Hey guys

Just a question out of curiosity.

Just for fun to see what it sounded like, I took off and blocked the vacuum line to the BOV to see what it noise would come out. But all i got was the standard gush noise through the pod filter. Last few cars i did this with I got the "fully sick VL turbo flutter" :P.

What does this actually mean? If there a leak or issue somewhere? Stupid topic, i know but got me wondering.

thanks!!

Removing the vacuum line will help keep the valve closed. Whether it leaks is another matter.

no the pressure in the intake pushes the valve open because it is greater then what's above it

Actually they're not that bad, a bit of molly lube on the stem of the valve helped my stock rb20 recirculation valve hold close to 30 psi

I've had a few, i noticed it on all. I tried a few things like what turbosmart suggest.

I am using an automatic, so it could be more pronounced because of this.

Nope. Boost pressure from the manifold helps keep it closed.

Removing the line makes it leak on boost, meaning the turbo has to work harder.

Oh shit I have, bruh youse need to take off ya stock bov, cut up your favourite aluminium can and make a blanking plate using that. Then drill two holes and sandwich it between your BOV and BOV 2x bolt flange.

Fully sick ulleh, dose for days and make betches drop their panties

I understand what you're saying, but the vacuum created when the throttle plate closes acts against the spring in the valve to open it, remove the vacuum line and the spring pressure alone is enough to keep the valve closed, or should be.

When I replaced my turbo I made up a pvc plug and pressure tested the intake, after I lubed the stem it easily held 20 psi

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
