hey just a quick question im unsure about, saw a r33 the other day with a huge ass flutter, liek really loud. anyway pulled up to him at the lights and asked him what bov he was runnin or whatever, and he reckons hes blocked of the standard bov ( r33 gtst). Sounded alright but just wondering if blocking of the standard bov would be harmful to the engine (they were obviously put there for a reason). He also mentioned it was runnin 10psi. Would that put more strain on the turbo, as theres no bov in action. Im sure your thinkin ohh no not another bov thread, but jsut from experience what would the likely conclusion be with a setup like that. He said the car was stock apart from boost, 3" turboback and fmic.

THanks heaps guys much appreciated.

haha, talk about opening a can of worms...

From what I hear, from reputable sources, ie. mechanics and tuners, no it wont harm your turbo, your engine will idle shite and stall though. Above 14 PSI it is recommended that you use a BOV, but even then alot of drag car buliders still dont use them.

1) open turbobygarrett.com

2) browse to technical area

3) read up on the blow off and recirculation valve systems

4) understand how it affects the turbocharger system and what happens if you block it

it will harm the turbocharger end of story

We tried this trick whilst doing the turbo upgrade... I can confirm that it idles like shit and stalls... don't do it if you can resist the sound factor.

If you want flutter etc, get a proper BOV.

its all urban myths and drift / vl turbo hype

it makes the response worse

it causes compressor surge

it puts stress on the compressor wheel and shaft

there is nothing good about running with no bov

no bov on either the r32 or the s13 (sr20) and no probs on either gonn put the boost up on the s13 to bout 14 pound and see what happens but the 32 is boositing bout 11 pound happily and with a little lag that its always had. the 32 has a supra front mount on it the s13 the stock side mount. both have pods and stock turbos. i wanna put stainless intake pipes on to make it more enjoyable. i personally can see the point of a bov in a hi boost instance but in both my cases whic are pretty low i feel it shouldnt make any difference. the 'stress' they say it puts on the shafts of the turbo should be minimal as it would be more engine braking then anything else as the exhaust gases get caught in the engine more as they would slow down also in proportion. i feel its a matter of taste to go with or without BOV. until someone shows me a turbine that has shatter due to this i will keep our cars without running BOV unless i can get the chinky one like the M3 out of the mischief dvds lol

Noone will show you a turbo that is rooted due to running no BOV. Its "theoretically" possible, but NOONE has proven it and NOONE will. Its myth and BS. I have two s13s that have never run BOVs and turbos are still in excellent condition and both have been running for 16 years....

BOVs are to reduce noise.

BOVs are to stop your cooler pipes from blowing apart if your piping is dodgey.

Thats it.

So please, before another person says no BOVs damage your turbo, post some proof. Guess it stops there, 16 years of no BOV for me is proof enough BOVs are not needed.

Now its just a personal preference what sound you want, flutter vs everyone-look-at-me-I-sneeze.....so keep it at this cause it wont be proven BOVs damage turbos.

noone said blow off valves in general damge the turbo....

only that blow off valves blocked to achieve the ghey flutter noise is harmful. read and understand fully before posting.

second of all if blow off valves arent needed why do they come stock standard with them in the first place?....

please read http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...ic=60655&st=100

it was recently discussed

i believe the bov was fitted to prevent turbine and compressor damage. i dont believe it has anything to do with noise, emissions, looks. purely servicing on the turbocharger components and to prevent excessive failure/wear and tear

K what about this for proof then say what u will, correct me if im wrong ok.

RB20DET R32 yeah its got a bov, Goes "shhhhhh"(or whatever) due to bov

VS

RB20DET Laurel, Cefiro no bov, Flutter due to no bov.

OK im not sure if the turbos are different but theroedically(spelling) u could block the bov off on the r32 to make it the same as the Cefiro or Laurel.

Yeah whatta think? Is that proof? or not? dunno.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.

      Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.

      So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
