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.

    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.
