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.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
