do your self a favour brother invest in a genuine HKS SS blow off valve with adaptor its not extream flutter or cost (external waste gate = flutter sound) but its sounds almost as good in its primary dump stage (lower boost levels through gears) dont be a boggie MF with your pride n joy it will thank you in the long run GL.

hmm its really that simple huh

It sure is. It's about a 10min job(drink the coke, take off bov, trace shape then cut). I did it a while ago, but then the car started to backfire and I got sick of it.

If you like the sound, do it. It doesn't matter what others think. If you like it, do it. You're the one driving it, not them.

Cheers,

Yeah its as simple as the coke can thing.

I got bored one day and did it. Bout 5 minutes work.

Got sick of the fully sic re VL turbo sound, not to mention the backfiring and the constant stalling. This would also lead to it running rich as f**k and burning way more fuel.

Ps. Don't do it

Hey,

Yeah, wouldnt blocking the bottom of it or whatever your saying stop it from releasing the pressure like it was designed to do and cause the turbo to backspin or something and therefore damage it???

IMO you should just do what SXY-33R said and buy at HKS atmo venting BOV...

bud, i wouldnt dream of doing it to my r34... just to many risks for a bit of fun...

lol well i cant talk because i too wanted to do it before i saw and heard a few dramas people were having when they thought how cool they were heheheeee

point is

now,

flutter = cool

later,

flutter = turbo bang!

cheers

flutter = 25 psi for 1 .a bit years then 20 psi for 1 year = still good, no shaft play. on vl turbo with highflow

usually u put the afm in the cooler pipes and put a metal intake on the front of the turbo for ultimate loudness. and put a pod on or not is up to u. il be doing it tomorrow on my 33 but leaving the afm normal position. u can hear the plastic and doesnt sound as good but my atmo blow off valve still goes off so its like half tutututu half blow off noise. it may go high pitch flutter even through the plastic pipes with the bov hole shut up

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
