That's fair enough, we've all done it. You'll be quick to rip it back out when you realise your car runs like a bag of shit and tends to stall at lights etc. It will run rich as it's still compensating for air returning back behind the AFM when it's not. If you really wanna do it, Take the bov off and cut a coke can up to the same shape as the flange shape of the BOV and cut two holes for the bolts to go through, then sandwich that aluminium sheet between the intake crossover pipe and the BOV.

hahahah I did the same recently chef_stagea, had a metal intake pipe on there and all shit for a few weeks, fluttering like a madcnut :blink:

I am of the belief that it doesn't really do shit to turbo life when you're running low boost, but my turbs has a wee bit of shaft play so I just ran it on low boost with the bov blocked just incase.

Changed it back a week ago as I got over the flutter a bit :D

so its not too hard... even if ive got an auto? coz its like slaming in to the next gear fair quick and im not cumming off the expensive pedal during a gear change?

go for it if ya like, i wish i had a standard BOV in mine, i cant fit in the standard plumbing in for it unless i fully relocate my cooler. i dont like the police attention the sound causes, over 50% of the times i have been pulled over in the past is from the BOV/flutter sound.

I blocked mine off a couple of weeks ago, ran like shit, took it out yesterday. The sound is funny for about 2 weeks, then you get over it lol.

I have had mine blocked off for a long time now and the car is still running strong as

i think that blocking the BOV has improved my response time as well

Hey mate, as everyone else has said before it wouldn't be a good idea to block it off as you factory fuel maps in your ECU are "written" assuming you still have your BOV there, when you remove it the factory maps dont change and your ecu will behave as per usual making the car run in a way you probably wont be happy with (stalling in an auto car is not plesant). Im not sure if removing or blocking the BOV wears a turbo prematurely (my ceffy RB20 never came with a BOV standard yet they used the same turbo as an R32 RB20 later on) as i have heard alot of for and against responses and not alot of real proof. If you still want to block off your std bov then i would recommend you get a metal induction pipe as well as most (read: most) of the time it sounds weird and you dont get the full effect of the fluttersssszzzz ;) Happy Fluttering and may the Pigeon be with you

Trust me on this one, you would be surprised what a metal induction pipe can do for your sick flutterzzz, plus it can actually do something benificial for your engine rather then just the noise (shock horror) which is prevent the factory rubber inlet hose from being sucked closed under the vaccum created by the turbo

i have a blanking plate on my car

flutters pretty loud, blitz sus (metal pod filter)

runs terrible though and is prone to stalling so i'll be removing it soon

Kinda curious about a metal induction pipe though...

im assuming you get an exhaust shop to make one up for you ?

Rodger that, very simple to make, i paid $40 for mine (I was lazy) to be made up as my rubber inlet was sucking closed after i put a larger turbo on (plus i was missing that metal spring thing inside the rubber inlet) fixed up that problem and as a plus my rep went through the roof due to my flutter being 2 times louder and very VL turbo commo esque, it just sounded gaylord with stocko rubber inlet on, win win lol :P. Just remind the exhaust shop to weld in a 3/4 (i think) fitting into the new pipe for your cam cover breather (well on a Rb20 at least, not 100% sure its the same on RB25)

      Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
