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..

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.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
