compression surge is not healthy unless u live in vic and drive a VL ? and go to bell st maccers

stock plumb back bov ftw!

LOLLz

but yeh,,stok bov's are shyt,,get a stocky r33 gtr one

You may wind up stalling it everytime you pull up at a roundabout or lights... but go for it.. i thought it was awesome fun when i first tried it... and refitting it costs nothing...

dunno if it will root ur turbo though after prolonged use...

??

I've found a stock BOV with the internal bleed hole made 50% smaller gives a great comprimise between sound and surge. Blocking it completely, surges too much in higher gears on the highway and makes tons of noise. Also try getting a pod, makes much more sound.

Yes it will after a while and you will get increased lag.

Correct, but if you have a bov set to loose then it can also cause stalling. If you have a bov and tighten the spring in it then it will only open on high pressure, so you can get flutter with only a small amount of boost. savvy?

bro, jus get an fmic. after i put one on my car it made a flutter on high boost..nothin special but makes for some funny times

If you don't have a fmic, or at less a highflow side mount and you have a t04e then you're crazy.

I was told that it will cause turbo damage over a period of time.

thanks boys thats awsome but i love that massive flutter sound i might look into it a bit more and get back to ya .

also without the bov . dose it matter that its externaly gated ?

if you no what i mean ?

cheers

Then don't use one, but it will cause damage over time. As for the BOV being externally gated....are you talking about the BOV or wastegate?? If you have a BOV venting to atmosphere then yes it is illegal. You can have an external gated turbo, which has a wastegate on exhaust manifold, to be legal that has to be plumbed back into your exhaust system further down.

yes.

I don't think you can win either way, best going with what drives you least crazy listening to over and over again.

I hear ya rob. I've been ''dosing'' for about 18months, and my mechanic has aswell for YONKS, with absolutely NO damage. So the whole argument about its 'fulleybadforurturbo'is BS.

I switch between bov and dosing. It just gets boring :P .

sorry about that i ment that the turbo is externialy gated and why is it that if you run a bov into atomo , its illegal ?

Anything that vents gases into the atmosphere is illegal.

Wategates are only legal if they plumb back into your exhaust (if it doesnt plumb back its called a screamer pipe and that makes it illegal)

Same goes for bov, If it is plumbed back into your pipe work its legal (if it doesnt plumb back into your pipe work and just releasles into the atmosphere it illegal)

Does that make sense ? ? ?

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
