Hey ,

Yesterday i did the dodgy BOV modification by using a self taping screw to block the holes on the bottom of the BOV. Now by doing this the "blow off" noise i really loud......but what i wanna know is, is this noise coming from the blow off or is it the air going back thru the turbo pipes to the compressor???

Is this no good for the turbo???

i've done a search but just can find an answer.

P.S The car feels like it comes onto boost alittle stronger.

Thanks

George

it is doing it louder because the air is suddenly depressurising suddenly, whereas before it was constantly leaking. have you still got the plumback pipe connected? if not then that is the problem. but when i did mine i noticed that induction noise was a bit less, and i thought the bov was louder, but it wasn't. it was just because the induction noise was less that it was more noticable.

Thats interesting... I found the BOV/Turbo was much much quieter coming on and once on boost with the psshhtt noise being the same volume but just slightly different. So yer what your probably experiecing is a quieter spool then when it does go psshhtt you hear it, where as before there was always a bit of noise so maybe the pshht was as much of a difference in volume.

I put mine back to standard as it affected drivability through the hills.

what is the new sound that it makes?

Just like the stock sound but louder?

If so, that is fine.

If the noise is more like a fluttering sound, then it’s not venting..

As hard as it is to describe the sound via a keyboard I’ll give it a go..

Does it go..

Wwsshhhhhh

Or does it go.

Prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

LOL..

If it’s the first, that’s fine.

Anyway, I’ll add one more little thing..

That stock bov bod, when done on an RB fitted with a FMIC seems to cause flutter instead of venting properly.

With stock side mount it works as it should.

Boost does come on quicker as it is not circulating ANY of the air so the transition between off boost and on boost is more instant. Hence that quicker spool feeling.

So what does it do?

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
