well you take off the standard bov, get a flat peice of alloy or type of metal of your choosing cut to the same shape with the holes for the bolts drilled through it, cut some gasket paper and bolt it down in place of the standard bov, then block of the vac line and plumb back line

it will affect your turbo when changing gears, the air will hit the throttle body come back through the compressor blades and slow it down or stall it so you will get more lag when changing gears but you will have a fully sick sounding car......

i have a blocking plate if you want it... i can post it to you for $15.00.

to get the sound your after, you really need a bigger turbo, and a metal intake pipe to the turbo. the air reversion is what makes the noise, which you get with a bigger turbo, the stock rubber pipe cushions it and you can hardly hear it.. which is what its meant to do.

it also makes releasing the throttle, aka on gear changes or after hard accelerating, very very harsh.. especially compared to the standard bov which feels like theres nothing there.

its not worth it in my opinion.. i have only blocked off the bov to run an aftermarket one in a different spot... i kept the original one on for police issues but blocked it.

No you don't, works fine with the standard turbo and a pod filter. he

The main factor I believe to become louder is the amount of boost you run.

I have a GT35R with a metal pipe. On 10PSI (running of the wastegate spring) it wasn't loud at all, at 23 PSI, it's a different story! :laugh:

lol bugger me, everyone I know including myself has just cut out a piece of a beer can and used that to block off the stock BOV! works fine 6 months down the track. Also used a bit of liquid gasket to seal it down nicely.

find someone on crutches and steal the little rubber bit from the bottom or go bunnings :laugh:

NA is better :laugh:

    • Went to a drift practice day at a local circuit (held on the reserve parking area behind the grandstand) for the first time in about 15 years. Some kei cars were drifting as well, a not so surprising Suzuki Carry truck, and two 1st gen Daihatsu Copens that were converted to rear wheel drive(!) using Daihatsu Boon X4 transfer case, prop shaft and rear diff, obviously omitting the front driveshafts. They looked really fun to slide. I heard that they cost "about half" as much as a Nissan Silvia etc to run.  On the track 'Tech M' a local BMW tuning garage had a customer track day. Mainly recent models but there was one E36 which looked ancient among all the current models. It was cool watching the drifting and then turning around and seeing random people thrashing their M3/4s  central-circuit-drift-practice-2025-05-18-long-yt.mp4
    • I prefer it with those wheels (sacrilege?) 馃構 Here's a photo of a fully original one for reference. The price is $350K....
    • I would like to keep it around 15k but if I need more to make it reliable and not have to worry about the car breaking I can go more. It's my project car so I'm just trying g to figure out what needs to be in it i know basic things like turbo cams injectors I'm just unsure of the size and the specifics so I'm spending alot of time on Google and its mostly rb25 and rb26 not alot on neo
    • This. They would need some tricky maneouvering to keep the income out of the country (the US). Which isn't helpful if that's where you want the income to end up.
