I cleaned my BOV yesterday... took it all apart washed out all the oil residue, and put her back together again....

and now i have lost the flutter sound however i noticed that my lag when changing gears has significantly reduced... IS THIS NORMAL?

Or did i forget something when i put it back together?

anyways, im happy with the performance increase :D

the flutter happens when your blow of valve is close or disconnected and boost travels back through the turbo > intercooler > out the airfilter.

from what you said, it could be the tension on the bov. Check to see if its set to lose or tight. if its lose then theres your answer if its set to tight then it could be set in plumback mode

check out the tension on the bov and get back to us.

ps: the flutter isnt good for the turbo.

my 3 cents

Man why'd you have to say that! You're gona get an all out newb war of ‘flutter = bad or ok’ argument in yet another thread.... lol

LOL.. yeha i know d flutter isnt good....

And i dont think there really is a way to adjust the tension...

All it is, is a valve with a spring pusshing the valve against a plate onto the plenum...

Unless by rotating the BOV housing as so it begins to screw off the bracket it attatched onto????

Is this how you adjust it?

PS.. I am happy without the flutter sound... was becoming a little too much....

so will keeping the BOV how it is now harmfull in anyway? i'm guessing not!

Perhaps i put it back together wrong :) it all flew all over the place when i took it off.. wasnt expecting that much bounce in it lol...

i still get a nice CRISP tishh sound.. and i mean very crisp now :D

see the screw on top of the bov.

turning that clockwise TIGHTENS the bov, making it harder to open

turning that anti-clockwise LOOSENS the bov, making it easier to open.

so my guess is that when you pulled it apart and cleaned and put it back together, you didn't tighten it as much...

Or it was just fithy and wasn't working properly.

I hope you lubed it back up before putting it all back together..

WD40 will be fine..

although, a little oil will make it's way there so I guess it will be lubed anyway.

Don't worry.

you put it together fine.

that is how it is supposed to work.

When i took cleaned my a/m bov i too noticed an increased in performance. My revs was better and my engine used to stall everytime i put my foot off the clutch, now it doesnt at all. There is no evident of flutter anymore. However, I did tighten the screw on top of the bov. This was on an sr20 though but i dont think this mattered.

now i have lost the flutter sound however i noticed that my lag when changing gears has significantly reduced... IS THIS NORMAL?

:)

Yes this mean its working properly, leave the fluttering for the butterflies....

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
