What Would Happen If...

it would most likely wear a standard turbo out quicker due to backspin.. not straight away. the car would still be drivable though it'll wear quicker the harder you drive/boost it.

Im currently running an aftermarket turbo with no bov. And have not seen any signs of problems or wear to the turbo'.

no expert, but my hypothesis would be that you would suffer boost spikes everytime you changed gears, or got off the loud pedal after boost. invariably there is nowhere else for this air to go but your engine. and remember the throttle is never fully closed, it remains slightly ajar to allow idle. so the pressurised air would find its way into the chambers and create an extremely lean mixture, and possibly result in detonation.

thats just my theory. i want to see how close i am to the truth.

the butterfly does close, the idle control valve at the back of the plenum is used to idle the engine.

the air that is usually supposed to go out the bov is just sent back to the turbo and tries to spin it the opposite way.

IT DOES NOT TRY AND SPIN IT THE OPPOSITE WAY!!!

Turbo fins are setup uni directional.

Spin the compressor one direction, air will move through it. Spin it the opposite, the air doesn't get moved through it.

The same applies if you blow air through it, it'll spin one way, blow it the opposite, it won't.

The issue of turbos slowing down, is you get a large pressure build up between the turbo and throttle, if your pressure source, for your wastegate, is pre-throttle body, the wastegate remains open, but your turbo has less gas flowing through it, and the majority of what exits the motor, is headed down the wastegate anyway, so the turbo slows down that way.

Take the pressure source post-throttle, and you're fine.

edit: On a motor running an AFM, you will get "double counts" of air as it reverts through the intake, and you'll get double the amount of fuel, On an aftermarket ECU, you can tune this issue out to a fair degree, on a factory car ecu car, you'll have stalling issues.

Throw an ECU on that makes the AFM just a piece of pipe (IE, convert to MAP) you won't have an issue.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      By nouveau_poor · Posted

      I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly

      R34 Skyline Sunroof Won't Tilt/Vent

      I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.

      It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣

      R34 Skyline Sunroof Won't Tilt/Vent

      Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
