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

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
