Hi guys

I'm new to turbo car and I just got a 33 GTS-T

Does a stock R33 GTS-T have blow off installed from factory ?

Must all turbo cars have blow off valve installed ?

cuz I've never heard the blow off sound from my GTS-T

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question. I'm really new to turbocharging. Got not much idea about it

welcome to sau.

All skyline turbo's came with a factory blow off valve.

Due to the law, the air released from the bov is put back into the system and not vented out into the air.

Aftermarket blow off valves vent the pressurized air into the atmosphere making a louder noise. (These blow off valves are illegal for road use and have known to cause idle problems)

However the factory blow off valve is loud enough to hear if you have removed your standard air box and replaced with a pod filter.

Circled in red if the factory blow off valve on a r33 i think.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^STANDARD AIR BOX WITH COLD AIR INTAKE (CAI) INCLUDES FILTER INSIDE MODIFY THIS WITH A K&N HIGH FLOW FILTER

OR PUT A RAM POD FILTER ON IT ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Thanks for accepting me hehe

I will do the reading yea =)

so basically just replace the stock air intake with aftermarket filer (any?) and I will be able to hear the stock BoV sound right ?

oh and can someone confirm me that the aftermarket BoV is illegal ? what could be a problem from it ?

Thanks again guys

I'm sure you will see my stupid questions again in the very near future cuz it could be really stupid that the links posted above don't have the answers

- -"

probably best to stick with stock for now.

but a small breakdown of bovs are:

atmospheric- completly illegal, emit the air that is meant to be recercuilated back into the system straight out to the world.... the are the loudest and if your car isnt tuned, can cause issues

plumb back - ones like in the pictures above. these are bovs that do send the air back into the system, it is what a stock bov is but you can also get aftermarket plumb back models.

you can also get bovs that emit half atmospheric/ half plumb back

Honestly, its hard to say what is legal/illegal apart from standard parts, because it depends entirely on the cop who pulls you up if he doesnt like your aftermarket bov, even if it is plumb back...epecially considering they are cracking down on "hoons" these days...

so the only thing you can be sure of is that your standard bov will be fine.

Hope this helps,

Adam

If you get a pod filter just don't get an oil one. if you put too much oil on it, it can dirty your AFM. just get a dry pod. Apexi, K&N take your pic...

Pretty sure all K&N filters are oiled, mine sure is.

Cars that are untuned have issues with atmo bov's not aftermarket plumb backs, they are fine.

Keep the stock bov mate, or buy a new one and leave the stock one in the garage for later just in case.

And if your going to get a pod filter then i also recommend keeping your stock air box in case you want to go back to being silent, trust me, i did.

Thanks for the comment

I still wanna know why untuned cars have prob with atmospheric bovs ?

Aftermarket plumb back bovs also give no sound right ?

If just changning the air filter make the stock bov sounds, I might consider doing that

cuz I just wanna have a bov sound :D

Untuned cars have problems with atmospheric blow offs because the amount air which is sucked into the engine through the filter and passed the air flow meter (measures quantity of air being drawn into the engine) is used in the calculations the computer makes to ensure the correct mix of fuel and air is sent into the combustion chambers. When the blow off valve releases some of that measured air into the atmosphere the engine thinks it has more air than it acutally does and ends up running rich and basically like a dog becuase it has put the correct amount of fuel in for the measured air quantity. Basically your engine will not like you if you install an atmosperic blow off on a standard untuned car.

Greetings and welcome to SAU!

buy a boost controller and ramp it up to 13 psi, then it will be louder :unsure:

Dont bother replacing your blow off valve, its just a total waste of money. The stock one performs great. Save the cash for go-fast mods :(

If your going to buy a pod filter, dont bother spending big bucks on one, any cheap one will do, as a lot of the brands use the same filter element. So your basically just paying for the brand name. Just make sure its a dry filter not an oiled filter. Mine cost 30 bucks and works like a dream. Like has been said, oil from the oiled filter variety can enter the air flow meter and cause all kinds of extremely annoying problems.

if you install a pod filter, you will also need to enclose it fully as its illegal to have one un enclosed. You can either bend one up yourself out of some galvanised or aluminium sheet, or buy a plastic ready made one off ebay.

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
