Where would I find the BOVs on an R32 GTR?

Hi.

I have a nasty intermittent compressor surge (where my turbos seem to be fighting each other) at around 3000 rpm. It's #!%* annoying as it interrupts that lovely power surge. I read that cleaning/adjusting the BOVs might help. It probably wouldn't hurt, anyway.

Where are the BOVs likely to be in a R32 GTR engine bay, and how would I recognise them?

Thanks,

James

Hmmmm...interesting.

Are these std turbos?  At what boost?

Wondering if it is possible that the terb shuffle that I get is not solely from fitting the GT-RS terbs?

Mine are not standard. I believe they have been modified for better flow. It happens with the boost controller turned off (ie 11 lbs) or with it on (13 lbs or 16lbs).

Do a search on 'compressor surge' and you'll find a lot of discussion on the forums.

from what ive read in the past you will need some sort of balance pipe between the 2 turbos for something or other. I dont read in detail, just take in the basics :)

Means your going to have to remove your turbos though, which is a pain in the ass or costly if your paying someone else.

Good luck anyhow

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
