I cleaned my BOV yesterday... took it all apart washed out all the oil residue, and put her back together again....

and now i have lost the flutter sound however i noticed that my lag when changing gears has significantly reduced... IS THIS NORMAL?

Or did i forget something when i put it back together?

anyways, im happy with the performance increase :D

the flutter happens when your blow of valve is close or disconnected and boost travels back through the turbo > intercooler > out the airfilter.

from what you said, it could be the tension on the bov. Check to see if its set to lose or tight. if its lose then theres your answer if its set to tight then it could be set in plumback mode

check out the tension on the bov and get back to us.

ps: the flutter isnt good for the turbo.

my 3 cents

Man why'd you have to say that! You're gona get an all out newb war of ‘flutter = bad or ok’ argument in yet another thread.... lol

LOL.. yeha i know d flutter isnt good....

And i dont think there really is a way to adjust the tension...

All it is, is a valve with a spring pusshing the valve against a plate onto the plenum...

Unless by rotating the BOV housing as so it begins to screw off the bracket it attatched onto????

Is this how you adjust it?

PS.. I am happy without the flutter sound... was becoming a little too much....

so will keeping the BOV how it is now harmfull in anyway? i'm guessing not!

Perhaps i put it back together wrong :) it all flew all over the place when i took it off.. wasnt expecting that much bounce in it lol...

i still get a nice CRISP tishh sound.. and i mean very crisp now :D

see the screw on top of the bov.

turning that clockwise TIGHTENS the bov, making it harder to open

turning that anti-clockwise LOOSENS the bov, making it easier to open.

so my guess is that when you pulled it apart and cleaned and put it back together, you didn't tighten it as much...

Or it was just fithy and wasn't working properly.

I hope you lubed it back up before putting it all back together..

WD40 will be fine..

although, a little oil will make it's way there so I guess it will be lubed anyway.

Don't worry.

you put it together fine.

that is how it is supposed to work.

When i took cleaned my a/m bov i too noticed an increased in performance. My revs was better and my engine used to stall everytime i put my foot off the clutch, now it doesnt at all. There is no evident of flutter anymore. However, I did tighten the screw on top of the bov. This was on an sr20 though but i dont think this mattered.

now i have lost the flutter sound however i noticed that my lag when changing gears has significantly reduced... IS THIS NORMAL?

:)

Yes this mean its working properly, leave the fluttering for the butterflies....

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
