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?

    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
