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!

    • 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.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
