Strange Sound When Coming Off Boost

As the Stagea is still new to me and I'm just getting used to it, I hope i can be forgiven for asking some stupid questions.

A few times now I have noticed that if I give it a bit of a squirt the Turbo whistles nicely and everything is happy, then just as I lift my right foot I sometimes here a strange sound. I wondered if it was just the normal sound of the pressure being released? It doesn't happen every time which got me thinking that it wasn't normal.

How does the VQ25DET normally sound with a stock turbo and stock exhaust when dumping pressure?

OK so it's a bit of a stupid question without a sound clip to explain it better i know.

Usually the turbo is just on from 2000 rpm all the way and whistles away nicely all day during normal driving so i think its OK.

Maybe we should start a whole thread with sound recordings for your listening pleasure. :whistling:

Any weird noises should be checked out, the stock turbo would have been nearly silent when new. I have a good one here that barely makes any noise. I will check it out on Saturday, it may pay to search for the "cleaning the banjo bolt" threads as lack of oil supply would be one of the major factors in turbo failure imo.

Hi Chris,

Have a look at the threads where "Farting BOV" is mentioned.

The stock BOV can begin to fail sometimes, causing this sound which is almost like a shudder through the car at times.

You'll notice it gets worse over time too.

There's a few solutions; you can go OEM/Stock Bypass Valve from Nissan or a direct aftermarket replacement with the Turbosmart Dual Port (part number TS-0205-1026) and i'm sure there are a few others too.

I ended up going for the Turbosmart option and i think a few others on here have too. Fixed the problem immediately, direct fit and really no adjustment required initially, just bolt on.

One thing to note though, even in full plumb back mode the Turbosmart can sill be heard releasing the pressure but it's a standard BOV sound and not a fart!

Hope that helps mate,

Jas

Crikey you guys are good!!!

Yes it sounds like a fart an it can make the car shudder.

Also transmission crossed my mind as it can do it through boost when it shifts gear.

I couldn't get the car to do it today as it is intermittent.

Is this an expensive part? Warranty item from the dealer under statutory warranty or not worth the hassle?

Perhaps do the coke can under the BOV trick and see if the noise goes away. Or drop in and I can quickly tap a thread into the BOV bypass hole and see if it helps. Its a fairly simple valve at the end of the day.

Scotty, your unreal. Hopefully see you Saturday and we can make a plan then.

Cheers

Scott, just noticed that Saturdays cruise has been postponed.

When and where would i pop in to? PM me if you like.

Thanks

Sounds exactly like the problem Chris.

I'd try as Scott suggested to ensure it is the problem before shelling out coin on the problem.

If you do need to get one, i can recommend Boostn Imports www.boostnimports.com , Paid $387 delivered, Mick is great to deal with.

I think they might be a Trader on SAU too?

      Yucky. Things haven't gotten any better though. Now you have Emerson and Honeywell pushing these massive DCS/Scada things with proprietary hardware. They're not a PLC, they're not a computer, they're a...distibuted PLCish/DCSish monster of thing, that only they can program because they make the barriers to entry for anyone else so fricking high. And their developers are all located in the third/developing world (and India, in case anyone does not include that place in that category) and there are terrible failings of the ESl variety, of the care and common sense variety, and f**king forget about Functional Safety. Not a one of them has any idea what it means to comply with an IEC 615xx series standard.

      Low oil pressure after WOT

      By pogman · Posted

      All of the ECU grounds are to the chassis, the IGN grounds are to the cylinder head and i believe all the OEM body harness are left in original locations, im trying to work out if i can tell if the sensor voltage itself is losing any power to it from the very low ECU voltage. But yeah a manual pressure gauge will help in picking which path to actually chase. Also please dont bully my wiring plan i never designed it to be universally understood hopefully it still can make sense to you, im a wiring virgin.  1 thing i have just noticed the pressure sensor in question relays both pressure and temperature, the temperature reading holds nice and steady despite the low ecu voltage but the pressure reading is the one that jumps around alot so maybe it is really a pressure issue? wiring plan.xlsx

      RB25DET Solid lifter conversion

      By Yeetus · Posted

      Gday, Due to not finding much up to date info on this topic I thought I'd make a thread to get peoples latest opinions/recommendations. Background info -  I've got a S1.5 R33 GTST as a fun project car, mainly for street use and occasional drag strip, apart from all the cosmetic things I'll be doing a full rebuild of the engine with forged internals. Since it'll be getting new cams (kelford) and springs to match I thought I might as well get new lifters and valves while I'm at it, the dash says 160k KMs but the engine seems pretty tired, compression measures about 130psi across all cylinders so I'd like to freshen everything up. This is where I'm tempted to just fork out the extra and go solid lifters while it's all apart, aiming for 400-450kw atw with a flex tune. Assuming all supporting mods (oiling, fuel and all bolt ons) with a lightly ported head and turbo to match (yet to make a decision possibly gtx3582r or similar from Hypergear) I've seen the Tomei kits with just the buckets getting around, Supertech sells most things - Supertech High Performance Cam Followers | Trusted Racing Cam Followers Questions -  Has anyone found the Hydraulic lifters to limit them at this power level? Is it usually found that you can just clean the stock lifters and find they work fine?  Does going solid lifters save any headaches/issues with hydraulic lifters in the future? Any recommendations on other things that will need to be replaced, I know I'll need to get the solid profile cams but can you use the same type of valves and springs/retainers and is it recommended to change the guides and stem seals?    Summary -  Basically looking for pros/cons and wanna know if I'll actually need the extra RPMs from solid lifters or it'll just be bragging rights to say it ReVs OvEr 8000 Cheers

      Ha ha ha, this stuff they had was installing Toshiba PLCs that were made some time in the 1990s, and they were replacing GEM80 PLCs. To let those two talk (staged upgrade along a ~1.2km long building that was split into 4 sections), was a bunch of WinXP machines running Java gateways... There was no way to put something like ProfiSafe in... Most of the HMI machines were WinXP, with Java program, with a custom button board emulating a keyboard... About the only buttons in the operator stations that went direct to the PLCs was the eStop. There was some interesting design stuff in that place...
