My theory is this:

The new turbo has a better bearing cartridge and I know for a fact that it spins way more when you turn the car off, so you would assume that it will spin faster & longer when the clutch is pressed in.

So, with a higher turbo rpm with clutch in combined with the fact that the GT30 comp housing is flowing much more air I am getting compressor surge...

Its either this, or the guys who made my intake piping blocked the BOV return pipe near the mouth of the turbo

What do you guys think?

its not a lot to do with RPM, and little RB25 turbo would spin faster to make 12 psi than a GT30... if my brain is thinking logically

check your BOV, like make sure its working, not just hooked up.

Worst case, just purchase GTR ones.

They work perfectly

Yea, it will vent small amount of pressure like 5psi for example. Its when you get higher presure that it start to flutter.

The GT30 certainly does flow the 12psi much easier... But at the end of the day 12psi measured at the intake plenum is 12psi no matter what turbo you use.

do you get flutter only at 12psi and a normal stock bov sound at say 5psi?

I have another question.

is 12 psi 12 psi?

I mean, 12 psi produced by the stock turbo = the same amount of air as 12 psi from the GT30?

My brain won't bend to work it out today....

well if it can vent at 5 psi but not at the higher 12, then 2 things can be the issue.

1.) the bov can't flow enough.

2.) the return line is too small and can't flow enough to the inlet.

either of those will cause enough of a blockage to cause a fluttering.

Lordsnipe - you're right..

just thought about it now.. when I got an RB25 turbo on my RB20, on the same boost (11psi) it was making a decent amount more power than with stock turbo.

I just can't think of the theory behind it.

if it's 12 psi in the motor, then how does that effect flow wether it's from gt30 or T25...

brain broken..

Sounds like you need a bigger BOV or one that vents better or both.

Does this only happen at high rpm (high flow rates). ie. does it surge if you shift at 4000rpm? Cause that would be a similar flow rate to your stock turbo at 5000rpm (estimate)

As for the does a bigger turbo flow more than a stock turbo with 12psi in the plenum ??

Well it's 12psi in the plenum but the engine makes more power which means it has more flow. (ie. eats more volume of air per second) This is because the turbo is more efficient and uses less exhaust restriciton to make the intake pressure so it lets more air out of the engine for more air to go in.

Got it?

They would flow the similar in the midrange though where the stock turbo is still sort of efficient.

bah 12psi is too low on a gt30r not even on the compressor map........

boost it to 14 then tell us how it goes.

also the stock bov is good for stock turbos but big tubos need some flow for the BPV.

another option would be to run dual bov's to vent boost but at that point the fab work and cost would make it cheaper to buy a highflow bov/bpv

Arr,

That makes sence. I have always wondered how that worked, thanks for clearing it up!

As for my BOV, it seems to have loosened up a little. Now it will vent fine for low boost & low rpm but as soon as you get a little more boost (~10psi) & rpm she goes PSSSHHH flutter flutter flutter :)

Got it?

Does anybody have some pics of a Plumb back installed on a RB25DET???

An aftermarket one I mean...

just try an aftermarket plumback one... if it doesn't flutter at high revs, then you're done.

if it does, then the bov return line would be the restriction.

i had to change my stocky over after gt30 installation , it was leaking at high boost. put a blitz supersound on and it works fine , i have no compressor surge problems. gunmetal ive got pics now to of oil lines and of the turbo actually on my car, if you want i can send you photos, just pm me your email and i will send photos.

Its OK now mate, I have it fitted and sorted. Now I just have the injectors left to do and a tune. At what PSI did your BOV leak? I thought the stock BOV would be fine. Did you get any compressor surge with the old BOV?

Is your Blitz BOV a plumb back and if so do you have any pics of it mounted?

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
