ey guys, got my line today.. r32 gtst....

im in LOVE with it... stock just after market suspension and zaust... after driving it tonite seeing how it handles... it was definatly x drift car.. and they have left the suspension in....also the mechanical lsd thingo...

i was driving carefully... then i got home for a bit.. and took off the pipe that goes from the bov to the intake..(theres a thin pipe...) and it blew of way louder compared to almost nothing.. stock...

then i got carried away....i love it... tonite i didnt treat it well... but thats because it was my first day and... i know it was stupid of me to treat it bad...but i had to...

but yea from now on guna b very very nice to it...

when i took of the pipe... it kept stalling... when i slowed down n went from 1st to neutral to park it. i think its because the air readings were different coz i took the pipe off... i put it back on now thou ... is it bad if i leave it off? can i leave it off then get it tuned?

is it bad if i just deal witht he stalling? i mean it didnt stall straight away only after about 15 seconds of leaving it on...

any help would be appreciated... i just want a sound.. coz atm i got nothing...

i know theres more thigns to care about than having a fully sick dose...

but ive always dreamt of having a turbo car.. i got it.. and i always liked a certain bov sound.. and wen i took the pipe of it was the one i had...so atm coz im not guna do huge power upgrades... thats wat i want...

peace

In how many forums do you want to ask the same question? you got the answer in NS.com and you ask it here as well...

Learn to understand how the car works first and learn to drive it properly...theres more to turbos than the sound...but i'll give it to you...RBs sound sweet!!!

leave the return on, atmo bovs are illegal anyway.

as stated previously, if you are running the stock airbox still either get a high flow panel filter or shielded pod

Atmo BOV's aren't illegal if the proper venting is taken care of for crank case ventilation and as long as the BOV doesn't exceed state db noise level limits.

    • Have you put an aftermarket oil pressure gauge on and verified your oil pressure?   Noise being on the block, on exhaust side, how high up the block does it seem to be? It could be the VCT system getting cranky, especially if it's mainly at idle, and when warm, as that'll be your lowest point for oil pressure. Could be showing that oil passages / VCT solenoid are blocking.
    • Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers  
    • This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?
