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.

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

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 ? ? ?

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
