I hav just put the stock BOV on my R33. i had a after market one on there but got defected.

But the stock one is making a very high pitched piercing sound at about 2500 revs, its worse in second gear. its only wen i take off very slowly and the turbo isn't boosting.

my question is, Is this normal? and if not do u reckon the bov is stuffed or something else?

Also are R33's with stock bov supposed to FLUTTER if u hav a pod filter? one of my mates reckon it is, but mine Isn't. Any comments on this?

Thanks

James

Is it a pretty quiet high pitched noise? If so then yeah thats normal.

Fluttering is gay so thankfully only VLs flutter :thumbsup:

Most will flutter wen u put a pod filter on it even if the BOV is stock, just depends on the filter, it will usually make the flutter wen its lower in the revs ie 3500 rpm and more of a short shap sound wen higher in the revs...

the flutter is prtty annoying tho all it creates is unwanted attention.

unlucky about the defect ive been pulled over a few times and the car searched for defects and the cops have never sed anything about my after market BOV... luckily nearly everything else in my car is engineered.

Hey, yeah its not to loud but u can hear it from the outside loudly, its like a high pitched metal sought of sound, its hard to discribe. but if u take off slowly around the 2500 3000rpms it'll pitch then stop as the revs continue to climb. i dont want to go buy another one and the same prob happens if this is normal, but something tells me it isn't.

let me know wot u think

Mine makes that high pitch noise. But it comes from the turbo. If you've got a boost gauge that reads vacuum, you probably find it makes the noise at a certain point. For mine it's -14 IN-Hg. You can only hear it because of the pod filter though. If you had the stock airbox it'll muffle out the sound.

Unless the sound yours is making is different too mine.

Yeah it sounds like your talking about the same thing. But it happens in every gear at a particular rev range and yeh Vacuum level.

I had an atmospheric Bov on before and i never heard it.

Now is this bad that this High Ringing (pitched) sound is comming from the turbo?

Another thing iv got a K&N pod on there, i dont get any flutter out of it, and my mate with the same car and pod does! WHAT does this mean? Do u get it?

I've got the K&N pod too, not that it makes any difference. The high pitch noise isn't bad. Don't worry about it. Mines been doing it for ages. I heard mine make this noise as soon as I switched to a pod.

As for flutter, it could be due to his BOV having a higher spring tension. If its a stock bov, it might have been squashed to raise the spring tension thus giving the flutter. Standard spring rates in the stock bov does not make flutter. That would be why yours isn't doing it.

Thanks guys for ur help, much appreciated. I'll leave the BOV as it is and as for the high pitched turbo sound i'll just have to ignore it.

The noise is normal, when i had my old 33 it use to make the same, even when i went to sell it the guy looking at it thought it was the disc brakes scraping or something lol he had no idea, does your mate have the stock bov? cause i noticed id get a flutter with a aftermarket bov an k&n pod as well.

Yeah apparently he has got the stock bov with pod filter and reckons he gets flutter, i agree that the bov must be modified for it to do that. Yeah wen i had an after market BOV i used to get it all the time.

So the high pitched ringing noise when the car is in vacuum is normal. thats a relief! the flutter wasnt my biggest concern, i just was curious that wen i heard that noise plus no flutter, i thought they were connected as my mate said otherwise.

So why does the turbo make that piercing sound wen in vacuum around -14 to 10 IN-Hg, its a weird thing!

cheers guys

      I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.

      I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.

      It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...

      I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate

      Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
