that is old skool

been around for like 5 years.

why would you buy it when you can get a screw and stick it in there yourself?

the little hole is there for a reason.

it helps to open and shut the bov faster.

if it's blocked, the car feels a little more jerky on the transition point from boost to vacuum.

as in when you back off from the accelerator in a gradual fashion (like when you drive on the street)

I meant in the sense if you dont have a stock BOV and want to go back to one which is able to hold slightly more boost..

BUT, that being said, where do you stick the screw?

see in that guys pics of the bottom of the bov..

there is the large circle in th emiddle (the piston that is effectively the bov.. it opens and shuts) and then to the side there is a smaller circle.

that is the screw he has put in there.

a small wood screw does the trick.

if that bov wasn't modifed, it would look like the bov on the right in this pic.

Got it! Sharpkunt.

Thanks

not having a bov will not break the back wheel of your turbo.

if anything, it's the front wheel that "could" be damaged.

i think it depends on the boost your running n stuff but saying it wont damage your turbo is a bit of an understatement, especially the ceramic/ plastic wheeled ones

This was a good read this thread, the right amount of BS and info.

LMAO @ chicks getting wet.

but just to say, that my cars does still back fire and spits flames on stock. i was considering getting a aftermarket plumb back system to suit my r32 gtst. just for wank factor and new noise, but then blocking off the BOV is good too

as for damage being done to your turbo without having a BOV, yes that is correct, not to the wheels...but to the bearings in the turbo.

no bov/tight bov = flutter right?

flutter is the caused by the air that was SUPPOSED to be released from the bov.

the air that went in from the air filter, through the FRONT wheel of the turbo, through the intercooler, to the throttle, that was supposed to come out of the bov when the throttle shut, has no where to goexcept back the way it came.

therefore, through the intercooler, through the FRONT wheel of the turbo, past the AFM... etc.

so, the air pressure that reversion (flutter) puts on the turbo is only one the front wheel.

Skylines turbo's have ceramic EXHAUST wheels and steel front (COMPRESSOR) wheels.

Series 2 r33 gtst and R34 gtt's have a ceramic exhaust wheel and a plastic (some form of plastic anyway) compressor wheel.

the wheels are connected by the one shaft.

You know when you buy a second hand turbo and people always say "it's got minimal shaft play" etc..

well there are 2 ways there could be play.

side to side, or in and out (thrust).

there is always some play in turbo's.

when the turbo is boosting, it is sucking in the air and therefore it is pulling the wheel/air INWARDS.

when you back off, it goes back to spinning freely.

if you have no bov, the "reverting" air pushes against the turbo's COMPRESSOR wheel to try and escape.

this push of air, thrusts the compressor wheel OUTWARDS.

Long duration of this or high boost and this constant push pull on the compressor can wear it out and eventually cause the compressor wheel to touch the housing due to how much shaft play it has.

and as you can guess, a turbo spinning at 100,000rpm + reversion + time = 100,000rpm spinning wheel hitting static compressor housing... could cause chip, could cause complete failure.

one of the STI's stock turbo (VF22) is very well known for not liking to be fluttered.

no..

all of the above "COULD" happen.

different turbo's have different tollerances.

they are not all built to the same specs (VF22 example).

Point was that a damage that MIGHT happen by no bov/flutter would only be to the compressor wheel.

it will not be the cause of broken exhaust wheel.

ceramic exhaust wheel breakage is always due to a combo of heat and turbine shaft speed.

these 2 cause the epoxy that holds the exhaust wheel to the shaft to delaminate let go.

that's why as a general rule, people say not to boost stock skyline turbo's past 12psi.

as any more than that on a stock turbo (example rb25 with stock turbo), and the heat generate is alot more, and so is the speed at which the turbo has to spin to create the set power/boost.

I say stop trying to spin my words and take in the point that flutter will NOT DAMAGE THE EXHAUST WHEEL as you have said.

your saying they're connected together, over time it can cause it to have shaft play, etc etc

so what does that mean? the front one shits itself and the rear one stays intact?

i'm saying that they both can be damaged because i've had it happen to me, i had no exhaust wheel nor a comp wheel left

and i'm not spinning your words, your just contradicting yourself in what your saying... theres a difference

Yes, if one breaks the other CAN still stay on.

and yes, they CAN both break off.

how can you say that the flutter was the cause of the breakage on your turbo?

you can't.

One of my previous cars was a an ex-rally tx3.

no bov.

15psi

30,000kms on the same turbo without a breakage.

no..

all of the above "COULD" happen.

This happened to my friend;

14psi + standard rb20 turbo + flutter + couple of drags

I kept the ceramic bits and are sitting next to my PC :P

nothing happens.

you can plumback.

I don't get what you mean.

you will need a plumback bov, a return hose, and modify your intake between AFM and turbo to be able to plumb the bov return line in to.

Or just buy a skyline intake pipe which already has the return line on it.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
