There is no performance gain from leaving the bov off your car.

When you remove the bov the boosted air that would normally be discharged through the bov when the throttle body is shut, now has nowhere to go, so it bounces backwards and forwards between the throttle body and the turbo wheel, which we know as "flutter". This is the same as turning your kitchen tap on full then quickly turning it off, you get reverberation in the pipes.

In low pressure situations this "flutter" can slow down the turbo wheel, in extreme situations it can stop the wheel from spinning and even undo the exhaust wheel nut.

Exhaust wheels (Turbine wheels) do not have nuts.

They are fused to the shaft, And the compressor wheel is reverse thread.

Its more likely to sheer the shaft and snap it in half which i have seen ;)

butt it sounds soooo kooooooooool

**waites patiently for anti-ricers**

lol

A Mate did that on his r34 gt-t and 30min later a friendly police man was popping the bonnet thinking he had a aftermarket BOV.

did it sound anything like the hks one?

lol...

maybe if you get an RB26, the same exhaust, the same turbo, the same everything...

as far as the actual flutter goes, it sounds the same as most fluttering....the rest of the noise is where its at....want that? get an R34 GTR and start spending

did it sound anything like the hks one?

Ive taken off my bov once before to see what the fuss was all about. I did make my car sound like that only when the turbo chokes itself on 17 pounds of boost. The noise hurts because you can feel it eating your turbo lol. It does sound like shit on the stock turbo at stock boost.

most flutters i hear pitch up....that hks one pitches down......i think it sounds mad.

but yeh.....if i ever get a 34 gtr(and i will!!!!!! some day)...ill give it a Go lol....

I hope to god you never own an R34 GTR.

Does anyone have the BOV cd? Or a cd with BOV sounds?

I don't even get a pssch, let alone flutter.

Consider yourselves lucky. I have once had a girl ask me where the "little pssch" sound was.

LOL.....damn man.......tough luck

I hope to god you never own an R34 GTR.

it seems like fewer and fewer ppl among these forums know less and less about sarcasm and jokes.......

now that i think about it i may not get a r34 gtr......dats if theres something else ill fancy in the furture.....other then taht the logical step up from a 34 gtt is the gtr :D

nehoo hey Blitz how long ago did u inspect the HKS r34 in japan?

    • Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.
    • So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?
    • Ooo I might actually come and bring the kids, however will leave the shit box home and take the daily
    • Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!
    • That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
