i have an auto r32 gtst and this might sound like a stupid question but i havn't owned a turbo car before so be kind.

does the auto gtst still have a stock bov?

if yes i think mine does not have one as when i'm on boost and i take my foot off there is no noise like one would expect.

also, if yes then where is it located? on my intake piping before the throttle body and before the bend there is a small pipe which runs off the main pipe which leads to nothing and is blocked off...anyone know if this is where it should be...or does someone have a pic of a stock bov which i can compare to. maybe its there but stuck or something.

as i said i havn't owned a turbocharged car before so i am learning as i go...

thanks,

Waz

MM2death has given you the pic.

If your one isn't making any noise, then it is probably because you have the standard air box.

When you have a pod filter, it is very free flowing and you can hear all sorts of induction noises.

also, when the bov vents, you will hear a sshhhhh sort of sound.. different to the aftermarket psshhtt sound.

the standard bov makes more like a hissing sound.

IF your bov is removed and all holes are blocked off, and you put a pod filter on, when you back off from the accelerator, you will hear a fluttering sound.. like ch ch ch ch ch ch

Hope this helps.

And there are a fair few turbo cars (engines) that don't have bovs as standard..

here are a few.

Cordia turbo.

CA18DET engined cars.

VL Turbo

That's a few off the top of my head.

Mate... if someone knows what that is i'll fall off my chair.

ALL Auto's i've seen... R31/R32 (imports we are talking here) and i'm assuming it's the same for a 33 but ain't seen and auto one yet.

They all have that little pipe thing your talking about and it goes nowhere and does nothing. (that i know of)

It's also the easiest way to tell if you car has had a manual conversion done to it at any stage :(

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
