I have not lost any power with blocking the bov in fact it feels better off gear changes and the same goes for putting a pod over the stock airbox

Your pod is unshielded?

If so I guarentee lower power for you.

Unfortunately, actual results are things not 'felt' but, measured.

Get a heat shield on and it should sort it out though. Blocking the stock BOV is the ultimate " look at me" rice-ness all the same.

This is pressurised air trying to go somewhere, boosted air you now don't require because you have backed off/slowed down quickly. The thought is that this air slows your spool up time when you plant the foot again. It might sound faster, but thats about all it is......sound.

And don't forget the damage... ...turbo going backwards = bad...

Mmm you would think that its bad for it, however there is no definitive evidence of damage (none that i know of anyway).

Lots of damage done is to your social image however.

How dare you stipulate my meaning based on my vagueness!!!... ;) ...Hahaha... ...Social damage is a given...

One theory I've heard is that because the front side and back side of the turbo turn as one... ...any backwards spinning of the turbo would also stop exhaust gasses from being removed from the cylinders... ...Causing bad detonation... ...and then loss of power...

As for physical damage... ...the stress on the turbo's internals may be minor... ...but over time something could break...

Either way... ...I think it is making the turbo lag greater... ...even if it doesn't feel like it...

Placebo effect???...

ahah social damage? u mean it will lift it everyone luvs it went they hear STUTUTUTUUTUT. I dont think it does any damage with the amount of boost running but even if it did so what it would prob take 10000 kms off my turbo life and thats a price i would pay to have a STUTUT but thats just me as i said some love it some hate it

while were on the topic, where can i get a stock plumb back BOV? i have a 'turbosmart plumb back' & really not a fan of the sound, i want to be able to change gears & not be looked at by every person walking there dog. there hard to find i looked on ebay, nothing.. my 'turbosmart plumb back' is set up on the turbo side pipe from the intercooler, has a round hole where it slides on & a nipple with a tube running off it where the air gets released back into the system, can i put a stock BOV on there replacing it or would i have to do a bit of modifying? here is a pic..

i'll be selling the 'turbosmart BOV' as well so if anyones keen PM me >_<

Edited by azzafreddy

it does not spin backwards

the physics do not support the compressor or exhaust wheel or both spinning backwards with a blocked bov

the noise comes from a mid air collision of pressure that occurs in the pipework

its called compressor surge as the pressure spikes well past what the compressor can supply when the throttle body is closed and there is no BOV (or its blocked)

the excessive pressure makes the wierd chop chop tuutututu noise and places stress on the compressor wheel

If you have a a stock car and stock airbox. You can't really hear the bov, what if you have a POD in an enclosed box? Does it muffle the sound just as much as the stock airbox?

no, just as loud.

Hey mate... I've got a 1995 R33 GTS-T... I aint sure if i have a problem with my BOV... Usually when i rev up my engine and release it the valve opens fully and u hear the BOV go off at full.. But for the same rev it does not now... I also noticed that the cylinder tat moves n releases the pressure does not move much... Is somethin wrong with the blowoff...???

There is obviously a market for someone to make a cd with sucky induction noise and noisy bov sound for those who are that way inclined to amuse themselves without detriment to the car's performance.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
