i've heard the stock bov on a skyline can handle about 1bar of boost right?

what would happen if you exceeded that, say to 1.5bar

going for a dyno run on friday and want to run 1.5 but then will wind it down quite a lot for everyday driving, so the question, is it alright to exceed the 1bar limit occasionally?

Thanks INASNT and all who replied.

By my calculations 1.5bar is approx 23psi. right or worng?

So according to the answers here that is more than the BOV can handle theoretically.

Will it do any damage if i pump 1.5bar through it on 1 occasion?

what turbo are you planning to run 1.5 bar through? and constant 1.5 bar in the engine and the pistons and rods are not gonna be happy either, it will be time for forged pistons and short penned rods. Try use a turbo where around 1 bar will give u the power u want!

Yeah mate, i wont be running that high boost much of the time, only on the dyno and possibly if i ever take it to the drags.

turbo is a bit of a mystery, another reason i'm taking it to the place its being tuned is to find out.

its either a t04 or GT30.

it is rated a 600hp though :D

I don't think that you will have a problem with the bov leaking.

it is more the fact that when the bov has to actually "BLOW OFF" it might not be able to handle THAT much pressure.

so you might get the compressor surge sound (fluttering.)

if you want, I have a NEW GFB HYBRID bov for sale.

$200

it plumbs back and vents to atmosphere at the same time so you don't have the back fire issues..

and they can handle ALOT more than 1.5 Bar boost.

yes it makes a pssh sound.

no you can't just say it's a plumb back because there is a entry for the plumb back and on the opposite side there is a trumpet for the atmo.

oh by the way..

I can read your sig and I have been getting laid..

so what now?

hahahaha

very clever though.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
