Yeah I know mate, it's crazy! I have the 95/98 debate all the time with my mums partner. He thinks he knows everything about anything and says "98 is just like 95"...

It's just.... stupid. But yes, some people do still believe/say/recommend this to others!!

it does no f**king damage!

listen to all the people that have actually done it, rather than those who think they know everything.

if your running 14 psi on a stock turbo with no bov, EXPECT the kent to blow a blade sooner or later!

i for one, ran 14 psi, on my hi flow vg30 for yonks, not a prob.

there are plenty of others out there who have the some opinion, joel for one.

f**k me.

well said craig

Flutter from blocked BOV = compresser wheel in the turbo suddenly spinning backwards and the sound comes through the pod filter.

turbos NEVER spin backwards! like said before, they can spin upwards to 150,000 rpm. they simple slow down and speed up depending on the boost.

correct Stevie, the air returning back through and slowing down the compressor and "chopping" the ait is what makes the vutututututu sound. Depending on pod filter design, it will be quiet or loud.

FAIL!

like said above, turbos spin at very high rpm. they dont 'chop' the air. the compressed air sits in the cooler/pipes, and as the blades slow enough, the boost pressure will drop to that rpm of the turbo. this happens graduarly as the turbo blades slow, which is why u get the tu tu noise.

and people f**king their engines/turbos with no bov. its not the lack of bov.. how stupid can u be.

I've ran mine since I can remember with a blocked off BOV.

With the ceramic turbo running 1bar I covered around 100,000km's on the rb20det, then pulled it out for the rb30det. Still in good nick. I went a VG30 which was good for another 50,000km's and was still fine when I pulled that off, the Garrett gt30 I now run still doesn't use a BOV.

The GT30r has covered around 40,000km's now. Damn time flies. :S

The bov is there for emission reasons. Without a bov look what it does to your afr's on and afm voltage as you come off the throttle which causes stalling, back fires and some times flamage. Another issues is the strain it puts on your joiners/clamps. I had to replace some with t-bolts.

The reason I went no bov is the stocker was for the part throttle drivability. No bov you grab the next gear and boost is just there. Without a bov it felt laggier on gear changes as I presume it takes longer to fill the FMIC and piping than it does to regain the 'slight' speed the compressor may loose due to pushing against a pressure source.

Shaun/Boostworx runs track cars with no bov, no issues related to no bov. I know of multiple high powered RB30et's without issues running no bov.

+1 covered around 40-50,000km with my 31 with no bov and no issues.

listen to all the people that have actually done it, rather than those who think they know everything.

f**k me.

+1

too much of this these days,

Cronic...

lol @ the ns.com thread op. His forum name suits him well. A dumhead he is. :wacko:

Again. Its primarily there for emissions and driveability. Not for performance which is exactly what I have found in my own fiddlings.

As for some one reputable that has a shit load of experience... Simon from Nizpro explains the BOV's use. http://www.nizpro.com.au/about.html

http://autospeed.com/cms/A_1457/article.html

"The blow-off valve is designed as an emissions control device for OE manufacturers.
"The airflow meter is not all that smart and does not realise the air is going in the wrong direction; it therefore measures the air twice (once going into the engine and again going out in the wrong direction). The computer now tips in twice as much fuel as what's required, making it run rich - making it not pass emissions.
"Therefore, manufacturers fit a blow-off valve - or a recirculation valve as they are actually called. A recirculation valve opens when it senses manifold vacuum, returning the air trapped at the throttle body to between the airflow meter and the turbocharger. As such, the airflow meter does not take a double reading - the car now passes emissions.

There's a market out there for replacement 'high performance' bov's as people believe it 'stalls and breaks' the turbo. Don't believe those that sell and market BOV's. :)

i ran no bov on 240rwkw s13 on the track cause when i compared running a atmo one vs none at all i found i had less lag through gears under hard boost which was awsome for turn 1 :P

i was told not to run no bov running that much boost but did it anyway and the turbo out lasted the motor :P but thats an sr for you!

on my 32, im running no bov again and its still going fine. also going through heaps of crapy boring tests with the sil i found running a atmo bov the car was stauling more but im guessing the spring rate or something had something to do with that but never bothered to fix it as i like no bov at all!

also have to remember some turbo cars come out facotry without a bov like the ca18det's and i see them out lasting sr's everyday!

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
