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.

No more need to be said!!!!

Okay, old thread here. sorry, want to blank off my bov so I dont look like a fag when I drive around. Used search came up with this and a heap of old closed threaDs that seem to make it sound like IF u blank of ur bov it just makes ur car get that other gay flutter noise not silencing it completely. Is this correct?????

you own a turbo car but dont like the bov noise? have you got an aftermarket bov?

yes, if you block it off it will flutter.

Did have an aftermarket atmospheric one when I got the car which said LOOK AT ME, then swapped the mechanic who took it through regency for me for his stock one. But its still too loud oh well guess Ill just have to put up with it in exchange for a nice fast car.

The one that was on it also made a fluttery type sound when u gave it a rev.........I dont know fark all bout them though

you probably had an adjustable one, where you can stiffen to spring so it only vents a small amount of pressure and flutters the rest. if you have a pod, try fitting a stock airbox to quieten the induction noise and see how you go

Just out of curiosity.... everyone is saying use coke cans, mountain dew cans etc. Are they being used as blanking plates? Not entirely sure how its done.

I've got a 32 with an rb20 with an aftermarket BOV. Was just wondering what the deal is with making up blanking plates and what everyone has used.

As Damo has mentioned earlier. You cannot have a turbo car with a pod filter and not expect any induction noise at all. Even with the stock BOV it makes a loud woooosh sound. But if you block/blank it off all the pressure has to go somewhere and since the BOV is blocked it will just go back through the system hence why it makes the huge (in my case) flutter.

Totaly acceptable use of thread bump guys

Take your bov off grab a pen trace around it and cut coke can up a good pair of scissors is all that's needed

Presto spot on Steve. I have been using a coke can pretty much since i have ever owned the car lol

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
