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.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
