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?

    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it鈥檚 still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers
