take you stock bov off and and on the bottom of it there is a hole that constantly leaks boost, ther were some discussions about blocking it up with a screw and filing it off. But other than that keep the stockie, less problems with stalling and less attention from piggies...oink oink.. :D

Thanx for the feed back guyz, and all the help.. I was also wondering how could i get the cooler sound happening in my car, the sound which is something like Vooooooooodduudududu, i hear em mostly on VL's.

BTW, inark as u said for the cruises, i would love to cum but most of the cruises here are in south western suburbs. im in northern suburbs and its prettie long way to get to the cruise meetings u have. if it was in city or somewhere close to the city, it would of been great!

i was also told you can block the stock one up with a plate in the piping, makes  ahuge diff in power i was told, im going to try it this week

huge difference in power hey?? :bahaha: dont think so.

My car runs better with my stock bov on than when i had my blitz one on.

bovs... why not get some LEDs?

blocking that hole... hmmm i dont know much about that kind of stuff but common sense tells me that if nissan put a hole to release boost pressure im sure they did it for a reason...

im running "14" psi at the moment.... it peaks to 14psi @ 4200rpm then drops almost instantly down to a steady 10.44 by 6000rpm.

now im no mechanic, nor am i performance expert... but im guessing if that pressure drop is eleviated by plugging this hole up... my stock turbo is going to give in.

can someone clear this up for me? someone that actually KNOWS not someone that is guessing or thinks.

That Vooooodudududud sound is your turbo backspinning. See when you close your throttle, your turbo is still spining creating excess compressed air in the intake manifold. Once this air cant compress anymore in the intake, it then the air moves backwards, (back through the intercooler, and out your airfilter.)while your turbo wheels are spinning backwards & forwards really quickly. thus creating that Vooooooouddududu sound :P

These noises sound f*%&n sick, and are relativley harmless on low boost (1BAR & under) but keep in mind nissan has provided the car factory with a BOV for a reason. Mainly to reduced turbo wear & provide Faster spool times between shifts/gears (because the turbo doesnt have to "re-spool" as much between shifts.

If i wear you (original person who wants to change BOV), i would purchase a more accurate "plumback" (You dont want attention from the cops, youl get enough just driving a skyline) BOV for further down the track like a G-ready. Stock BOV perform very average after the factory boost setting of 7-9 PSI as the spring tension on the factory BOV is set to open on 7-9PSI. Allthough it will still work after this setting you will find that boost will come on quicker with a aftermarket BOV (like gready) as it will not "leak" boost all the way to 15PSI. (unlike the factory, under 15PSI)

I've got an old Blitz.

Originaly had it venting to atmo (trumpet and all). Car ran fine.

Now its plumbed back. Car still running fine. No noticeable improvements, just a tiny bit quieter.

I suspect I have a VERY STIFF spring. Even at 1.4-1.5 bar the bov will open with a loud woooosh then flutter after the initial piston opening up.

    • Hi everyone, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and have been trying to find out the cause. For context, the turbos used are Garrett 2860 -5s, the BOV is a BNR32 HKS SSQV IV kit, the car is currently tuned to ~470 whp on 17.5 psi. The car drives normally, pulls well when it doesn't happen, and I can replicate it fairly easily. It does not sound like turbo shuffle or flutter. The engine has only a thousand or so miles and has had this behavior since it was completed. After my engine was built for my R32 GTR, I noticed that the car now sometimes makes an air discharge sound on what appears to be positive boost pressure that sounds really similar to a BOV. I had thought that it was a BOV issue but even when replacing it with a brand new unit, the sound persisted. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side but I may be mistaken. The closest scenario I could find was this post here https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/ started by @yakshii and it sounds very similar. As in, at partial throttle once I reach positive boost I begin to hear the same psh psh psh psh psh sound like air is leaking somewhere when I keep the throttle in the same position. It most commonly happens in 4th gear at around 3-3.5k RPM and 5th gear around 2.5-3k RPM, which seems to coincide with normal positive boost thresholds. It might be similar to what @Austrian GTR mentioned about his own HKS SSQV. Notable difference would be that when he applies more throttle when it happens, it stops. In my scenario if I apply more throttle during this repeated psh psh psh sound, the cadence of the sound gets faster and louder rather than stopping. If I lift off slightly and apply throttle again, it will normally stop and pull without issue. I've checked all rubber couplers to ensure that they are tight, but have not gotten the opportunity to properly do a pressurized boost leak test. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts on what might be the cause, I'd be very keen to hear them. I also have a video of it happening from inside the cabin, if that would make it easier to understand: https://youtu.be/2zqZXcx8jbA
    • I'd want at least $40K for mine, but thats easy to say cos I'm not selling anyway.
    • That's incorrect. We have 4 seasons, consisting of pre winter, winter, post winter and a small glimpse of hope! 
    • I spotted a black C34 in Mittagong this morning!
