As stated above, i want to know what will happen to the turbo *if anything* if i remove the stock BOV and block up the pipes it carries.

As far as im aware the RB20DET that comes in the cefiro does not have a BOV stock. (Can someone confirm or deny this)

Will it shorten the life of the turbo? cause damage to fins etc etc? Can it snap the exhaust wheel off?

I have a front mount, SAFC II, fuel pump, 3" turbo back.

Anyone?

yeh, like he said, it's not easy to prove for or against, but i mean, many cars block em and last for ages.. Blocking mine stopped the surging i was experiencing in between gear changes.. only problem is the noise, but it's not very audible with stock box on

realistically it'll probably cut your turbo life by about 10 minutes.

YEah doubt itll do much i dont have one and my car is an auto so its always got full boost when it goes through the gears still no damage no end play everything excellent was worried about it when i bought mine but after reading a few threads on SAU couldnt find any thing that made me think i should put one on post-30197-1169037152.jpg

I have a RB20DET and blocked off the standard BOV. It worked really well, sounded good and gear changing felt quicker. Although it started to stall on me every now and then. Revs would just drop down when i changed gears, was very werid. When i put the stock BOV back on car worked fine again. Anyone know why this would happen?

Thanks :laugh:

    • Hello everyone. I believe I have s1 headlights but I just wanted to make sure and getting confirmation from you all. Thanks in advance for your help!
    • Crazy how good the aero bar looks compared to the stock one
    • Yes, but you will need to rewire all the things that are different. CAS, coils, etc. Yes, but there is no IAT. What? You can use anything you like. It just has to be hooked up so that it will work.     Or are you wanting to just plug and play without having to do any thinking/work?
    • It's been a little over a decade since I bought the S15. As I did on my socials, I'll share some of my favorite pictures from over the years further below. If you haven't realised, pretty much all the pictures in my posts are ones I've taken.  In terms of updates, I don't have pictures, but I acquired a near-perfect pair of fog lights from a friend of mine, so those got swapped in for the pair I already had. As for the JZX110, I just got it back from being fixed. A few weeks back, I was on the highway when I suddenly drove over something with very little time to react. It was probably the size of a soccer ball, but it went under the car and banged into the underside pretty loudly. I pulled over and realized the fluid leaking was fuel, and of course, it was right near my exhaust. This required replacing the fuel tank. If you happen to be in the same predicament, thankfully this car shares a fuel tank with the JZS171, IS200, and IS300, so it wasn't too painful to replace. Enjoy some pictures as mentioned above, including the carnage from the fuel tank and a bonus picture I came across which shows how ridiculously shiny the Bugels are on the 110. So many more pictures I could share of the S15 but this will do for today, enjoy.
