Ok guys, I know we have been through this before and after spending the last two hours searching old posts I still have two questions, Back when I was young and had rice in my veins I brought a HKS ssq bov for my R33 gtst and have finally decided to look at putting it on ( 3 years later) My questions are:

1. All those guys who complain about stalling and running rough, do they have aftermarket computers on there cars or are they still running factory?, I have a power fc so am I correct in thinking that this will eliminate all the over fuelling and stalling problems?

2.When people speak of impeller flutter , is this caused by a plumb back type bov, so vent to atmo will mean that no air is being forced back in to the turbo?And if i put this valve on am i going to be up for a new turbo down the track?

3. I heard of a kit available for the HKS ssq bov to change it to a plum back setup as I do not want to attract too much attention, has any one heard of these and are they available in australia?

Once again sorry if I am going over old ground, any help is appreciated.

1. Only seems to happen to some.... Never had a problem my self

2. Massive boost running plumb back will cause flutter... Slight flutter can be heard at 10psi + but little flutter in not harsh....

3. if you bought a ssq... then use it properly... RRRRRRMMMMMMM chiiii

I have a S2 R33 with an HKS ssq.I have no problems with it.There is also an HKS EIDS ( idle stabilizer ) piggy backed to the ecu, so this helps idle issues.

Other than that, there is a adaptor in the BOV to make a flutter sound, this is not wastegate flutter ( i assume this is what you are concerned about. ).

I am unsure as to the cause of wastegate flutter, I assume a plumbback would not incur this, but I could be wrong, I assume a plumback will go before turbo so shouldn't affect WGF.

I have no issues with my turbo, I t has had the BOV installed for the 1 1/2 years I have owned it.

Sorry not to be of more help.

    • Welcome Gabriel, and thanks for saving one of the less famous cousins!
    • Wanting to avoid this if possible but kinda looking like I may not have a choice 😭
    • Ok awesome thank you. Just wanted to have them in case I can find some and need to compare part numbers!
    • All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.    
    • It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.
