when on track and wot I get a rather high pitched pschht.. I have the stock bov and my fmic isnt huge but it is free flowing. meh. is pretty much non existent to anyone not in the cabin any other time, basically very quiet on light throttle ie street driving.

forgot to mention that my return piping is red rubber.. red is better!

In regards to what JiVE said:

"And if your after the 'flutter' sound this can also be acheived through the stock bov. Just get a POD and pull the vacum hose out of the BOV. Make sure you block it off real good however, or you will stall."

Have any of you guys actually done that? And what is it about that that would flutter? I've heard of the fluttering before, but i don't know what causes it.

And what sort of effect would this have on driving and safety of my engine and parts?

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but was this ever clarified?

No no no

This will do the complete opposite to whats good

Will open and leak boost when you up it. It will flutter on boost levels where the spring tension is not overcome yes, but you will loose lots of power when it has enough boost to over come the spring

Think about the purpose of the vac line. Provides vac on closed throttle conditions and pressure when boosting to keep the valve closed.

Quick question;

I recently upgraded my inlet pipe(stock rubber) to an aluminum pbm inlet pipe .( for better breathing) . Doing so I had to delete a metal pipe that recirculates air from my bov back to my intake /inlet pipe. Bov is now releasing to atmosphere causing my rpms to crumble and engine almost wants to die off when I rev it. But idle is smooth on its own unless I rev it .i can drive it but when I come to a stop it wants to die off but it will fight on its own to stay on ,it just ruff idles for a bit and goes to steady idle after a sec or two.. By the way my stock bov is pretty loud for being oem as for this topic...

to my understanding this engine was built to reserculate the bov air back to the engine ... . My question is...is there a way to trick my engine/ ecu to running normal as if the bov air was normally recirculating back to my engine or do I have to get a tune to adjust the new setting ?

    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
    • Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
