Was just wondering if you could help me out..

ive done about an hours research and still fairly clouded

there is a what i will call "air reservoir" half way up the intake pipe

that runs from the airbox to the intake mani..

and there isnt much distant between this box and my extractors

it has melted the bottom of this air reservoir and stuffing out my

revs/time as its bringing air in after the oxygen sensor..

and what i wanted to ask is am i able to eliminate this box all together

i believe the on hose plumbed to this box is idle air maybe..

what to do with this so i never get this issue...

sorry if i sound derp haha.. this has just done my head in

its a pain in the backside

Its bringing in air after the afm but BEFORE your O2 sensor. . .to answer your question i believe the part you are describing is (you have pics?) is a resonance chamber , you should be able to replace it with a hardpipe no worries

there is a pic in my original post man..

i was thinking of just replumbing the idle air hose

from the resonance box straight to the intake pipe

with maybe a one way valve attached.

cause i think its just a throttle body bypass for idle air

is this resonance box shaped and made in a certain way for

any reason?

when i removed the hose from the box..

put a sock over it just to test free air sucking

because the intake pipe will allow a bigger air flow

and my car just either stalling or idles rough as guts

is that just a matter of playing with idle revs and/or timing?

i ended up cutting the box off with an angle grinder fibreglassing

the pipe.. then sikaflexing under the fibreglass.. and then coated

the whole lot in black sika just to ease paranoia.. then cut the nipple

for the hose.. did the same.. and left it all over night.. and she runs sweet

makes an awesome induction rumble haha

also did a fair service as in plugs, oil, filters flushed it all.. runs beautifullyy

and heres a pic of what i did lol

    • Hi everyone, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and have been trying to find out the cause. For context, the turbos used are Garrett 2860 -5s, the BOV is a BNR32 HKS SSQV IV kit, the car is currently tuned to ~470 whp on 17.5 psi. The car drives normally, pulls well when it doesn't happen, and I can replicate it fairly easily. It does not sound like turbo shuffle or flutter. The engine has only a thousand or so miles and has had this behavior since it was completed. After my engine was built for my R32 GTR, I noticed that the car now sometimes makes an air discharge sound on what appears to be positive boost pressure that sounds really similar to a BOV. I had thought that it was a BOV issue but even when replacing it with a brand new unit, the sound persisted. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side but I may be mistaken. The closest scenario I could find was this post here https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/ started by @yakshii and it sounds very similar. As in, at partial throttle once I reach positive boost I begin to hear the same psh psh psh psh psh sound like air is leaking somewhere when I keep the throttle in the same position. It most commonly happens in 4th gear at around 3-3.5k RPM and 5th gear around 2.5-3k RPM, which seems to coincide with normal positive boost thresholds. It might be similar to what @Austrian GTR mentioned about his own HKS SSQV. Notable difference would be that when he applies more throttle when it happens, it stops. In my scenario if I apply more throttle during this repeated psh psh psh sound, the cadence of the sound gets faster and louder rather than stopping. If I lift off slightly and apply throttle again, it will normally stop and pull without issue. I've checked all rubber couplers to ensure that they are tight, but have not gotten the opportunity to properly do a pressurized boost leak test. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts on what might be the cause, I'd be very keen to hear them. I also have a video of it happening from inside the cabin, if that would make it easier to understand: https://youtu.be/2zqZXcx8jbA
    • I'd want at least $40K for mine, but thats easy to say cos I'm not selling anyway.
    • That's incorrect. We have 4 seasons, consisting of pre winter, winter, post winter and a small glimpse of hope! 
    • I spotted a black C34 in Mittagong this morning!
