hey man runnin your car with no BOV is bad news for the turbo, its stuffs it up and shortens the life of it. Now why would you want to do that!!  

by the way you would get that sound your after, but is it worth it??????

:bahaha: hahaha, u people make me laugh

Danny32, take off the plum back, stick on a metal plate in its place, bolt it in and reap the rewards of flutter

100% that your turbo will be fine in years to come

stick on a pod filter, partition it off to get the sound more audible

leave the bov preachers to their marketing ploy

enjoy

throttle response, possibly but through my tests i found that it was THAT noticable

noticable YES, but not to the extreme of some peoples suggestions

Sil8ty

the reason why re circulating valves were placed on engines is for the noise

your regular jo blow buying a turbo car doesnt want to hear flutter so buy putting in the recirulating valve in, u get rid of that slight muffled noise (cos obviously the airbox supresses the noise too) and releave the compressor surge

BUT, alot of the aftermarket bov i see on peoples are ARNT put in properly

for it to work properly with ZERO surge, it should vent at the slightest amount of back pressure just like the factory valve does

nb: no need for the sarcasem Sil8ty, BOV is like debating religion..itll never end

Whistla,

While I do agree that aftermarket BOV's are used excessively and the effect on the car relatively small, I do think that the stock recirc valve is necessary at the very least.

Even with a stock turbo there is a small amount of compressor surge, without any form of BOV, stock or otherwise, then this can cause additional stress on the turbo. While failure is hardly likely, I think that either it or an aftermarket one should be retained.

DANNY32..

Yes.

If you remove it and block off the holes and vacuum line and so on, you will get the pchu chu chu sound you are after.

if you still have the standard air box, it won't be loud.

if you have a pod filter, then you will hear the sound you are after..

I'm not going to bother with my opinions on the whole bov or no bov theory..

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
