i used to drive a r33 GTS non turbo.

looked nice but wasn't as fast as it looked. but was a sweet ride

have been wanting a turbo 33 for long and might be getting a r33 series 2 finally. hopefully by next week. (fingers crossed)

now i am new to this turbo stuff. never had a Turbo car before except for a Pajero lol which i dont think counts

i remember once i was at a traffic light in my r33 GTS and a nice white r33 came next to me and was revvin the shit out of the car. and asking me to rev mine too. lol i smiled back. i dont think he knew mine was a non turbo.

His car sounded sweet. had the woooooossshhh from the bov

the car i have looked at didnt seem to have a bov, or maybe i didnt see it.

Questions

1. Do stock/standard skylines have BOV's?

2. if they do have standard BOV's then what sound do they make? Do they make n e flutter, woosh, or anythin?

3. If it doesnt have a BOV then is it hard to FIT a bov? coz i like the sound

4. Which BOV's are legal? i dont want any illegal shit on the car. What sounds do the legal ones make.

5. Which kind of BOVs are good for the TUrbo? which ones wont damage the turbo/engine ?

If you think i have asked Stupid Questions and think this thread needs to be deleted then dont write shit in it. Just Message a MOD and ask them to delete it.

Remember i am a newbie so its better to ask and learn ... ;)

The search is a good place to Start ;) Meaby go in advance search and select the Topic only option as it give you better search results !

For the RB25det it commes with a stock recirculation or Bypass valve witch vents back the excess air in the Turbo intake tube, right after the AFM. The reason for this is the AFM has already calculated the intaked air. Athmospheric BOv's vent this extra air in the Athmosphere as the name said. This is not good because it can play with your idle when yo shift the car from a gear to another or fall back in neutral. Your stock Bypass valve is great if you want to upgrade get a GTR one, Or any brand name that will plumb back in your intake !! And i think its illegal for you guys in Australia to have it vent to Athmo. correct me if im rong!

Hope this helps you out !

Np !

With the stock bypass you hear the noise no probleme at all .... the flutter sound is mostly form the air intake if you have a pod filter .. this occures when the valve does not open and air goes back in the turbine. Again the Stock air box is much better the the pod filter !

Congrats on the purchasse and make sure to take it in for a good tune-up and fluid change !

if your still unsure.....basically

the noisely BOV thats make all the cool sounds are illegal or are not the best for performance.

generally there is a atmosphereic BOV which is generally a round cylinder shape thing and sits on an intake pipe which 1 vacum hose going to it.... when this opens it lets all the excess boost out into your engine bay and as explained ^^^^^^^^^^ it can mess with your idle/fuel mixtures.

the other type is bypass or plumb back... this works the same way except when the valve opens it puts in back into the intake just after the afm (as explained).....

all the turbo skylines iv ever scene in OZ have a standard BOV and with a standard air box will not make much noise....

if u put a pod on it u may here abit more, main reason for this is that car manufactuers have to meet strict noise polution rules and thus have dampeners in the intake to reduce any noises such as this.

there is also many different types of BOV's that make all sorts of sounds.... so best of searching around, there are even a few that you can have plumb back AND atmo.... so u can sound sexy, hit a swtich and it will plumb back for performance.

another thing about vent to atmo BOV's are they destroy you fuel economy (at least on a stock computer anyway)

put one on and expect your economy to half or thereabouts.... Think ive heard of a few people that have never had problems but my R33 and a mates 32 both suffered madly from an atmo bov.

As said the cheapest healthiest option is a pod, i had a stock car and pod setup and wen u accelorate u obveously hear the suction alot more, but wen u back of u also hear the air coming out of it which is a psshh, with no flutter. This is good and sounds nice and all but if ur like me youll take the pod out and put the airbox back in simply because the noise gets fking annoying lol

The r33 (any series) has a stock BOV that doesnt make much noise with the standard airbox but once you slap on a pod filter then you will be able to hear it a bit more....the standard BOV makes the (whooooooosh) noise.....if you want the flutter then just get a coke can cut out to go between the intake pipe and BOV and block it off....it shall give you hectik flutterz brew

Only way to stay legal is to not put any of the GAY aftermarket BOV's on

Edited by Krishy
Something I always say - spend the money you want to spend on a BOV on something ELSE.. you can pick up a Gizzmo mc-ibc for around the same price as the HKS SSQ.

thats a very well said statement.....spend the money for the bov on something better and block the stock bov with coke can lol

pretty much any turbo car made after about 1990 has a factory fitted bov. they were put on to meet the new emissions laws that came in.

i had the stock bov on my 33 and with a pod it was as noisey as anything.

on a side note, when i bought my 180sx i took it for a test drive and it had the stock bov and i said to the guy "you can hear the stock bov pretty well" and his reply was "it doesn't have a bov, that noise is the wastegate".......... i didn't bother correcting him. wasn't worth the effort.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
