for all of you in here that are saying your bovs flutter.. you are mistaken.

that is not your bov making the fluttering sound.. It is CAUSING the fluttering sound, but not making it..

If the bov doesn't open at low boost, the air doesn't come out with a normal psshh or squeek in the HKS ones, it goes back through the turbo and goes.. ffftt tt tt tt tt tt

And someone mentioned the turbo the WRX rally cars use..

Rally cars do not use Bov's..

That sound is still the sound caused by the air going back through the turbo, but when you add anti lag to it and different intercoolers and turbo blades and so on, it has that weird high pitched fluttering sound.

I had the R2D2 on mine and it was runing rich.

so I put the standard thing back on. I didn't like how it would have a constant sssssssssssssssss sound on cruise sort of loads so I now have a GFB plumback one which just makes a weird muffled FFTT HHHHHHHH sound on gear changes.

I personally like the sound of the HKS SSQ bov but I don't like having a full atmo venting bov.. the car just doesn't feel right..

ROY, I don't think that that white supra from the Best motoring video had a bov did it? it was making a really loud fluttering/skidding sound..

Werd!

Awesome when you lift off throttle slowly at high boost! Hear both go off one after the other.

i had a blitz mounted right next to my 'cooler on the '33 - anybody that heard it could confirm that it was INSANELY loud (you could hear it from the other end of the harbour tunnel)...

I have a brand new blitz on the 180, it is set really tight because i am still running standard boost, but will soon test it out once i get more stuff on there.

i reckon the sound my pod filter makes is loud enough... nice and legal too :D

it makes a nice psshhhhhhhh noise when ya come off the throttle, i looked at the factory BOV and it looks like it would flow more than enough air for the boost i'm running.

51jay runs 14psi through his factory turbo at the track and the standard BOV holds its boost just as well as the GFB hybrid one he has now.

At what point is a BOV actually required, i will probably run about a bar through my turbo when i get a boost controller. Is there really need for a aftermarkt BOV at that level?

Yea you need to adjust the spring cuz you're letting too much air out causing the engine to stall.

My vote for best BOV is Blitz. The apexi is good cuz of the price, but some have been recalled cuz they sometimes detach from the flange while driving :eek:

Plus they can't hold much boost and rust over the years

...ummm.. pod filters are ILLEGAL for street use..

So you might not get fined for the stock bov but you WILL for the pod filter.

Unless you paid a couple of hundred buck extra to get an engineers certificate saying that your pod filter meets all the regulations..

Not all pod filters are illegal... Paper non oiled (like simota etc) are fine... it's only oiled ones like K&N or HKS etc.. that are illegal due to the oil entering the atmosphere as an unknown pollutant.... I know it's BS but thats the rules....

Another handy side feature of running a MAP based ECU - no potential atmo BOV related AFM/stalling issues :D

Mick51,

The factory GTS-t / GTS25t BOV can flow more than enough air *up to a point* I never had a drama with my standard BOV until about the 220+rwkw mark. It wasn't that the valve leaked, it just wasn't able to flow enough air, which resulted in compressor surge (fluttering sound - NOT good).

I now use a GFB "Basic" It's cheap & outflows almost all the other GFB BOV's (& quite a few others!). After all the whole point of a BOV is to dump pressurised air on closed throttle, so the BOV's CFM rating is what really counts!

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
