well if you want to hear your bov, you need to vent it, but when venting your bov your car will backfire, but if you like that and dont want to risk getting fined by the cops leave it as is. as for your exhaust, put a full 3 inch catback with high flow cat and front pipes will remove that restrictiveness of your stnd exhaust. plus id suggest getting a lager FMIC and get some pods in a airbox with some cold air ducting. will make the car feel sweeter to drive

well the bov should vent when you lift your foot after you give it a decent amount of throttle when sitting on the spot. if it doesn't then it may be blocked. if you take the bov off you should be able to push the plunger up with your fingers with a little bit of force.

Andy, you ask a lot of the same questions.

I have some for you.

1.) when you are driving hard and you are boosting, what sound do you hear in between gear changes?

2.) you have HKS SSQV bov yes?

Like this one..

hks_super_bov3.jpg

See on the back where there is a brass fitting.. just below that, right in the middle of the bov, there is an adjustment screw.

If you adjust that ANTI CLOCKWISE (turning it to the left), it will LOOSEN the spring inside.

This will make it easier for the bov to open when you change gears or take your foot off the pedal. So you should be able to hear it more.

BUT, if you loosen it too much, the car might STALL as it is leaking too much air.

ALSO, you will NOT hear the noise by just revving your engine in neutral. Because it does not make boost in neutral.

Only when you are driving.

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
