how do i make my car make pretty noisess. my mates mates bros car has flutter.

joking

anyway just some advice basicly my new setup has aftermarket plenum and turbo etc, so i want to keep the piping nice and pretty, so recirculated bov is out of question because i dont want some ugly pipe from plenum to intake pipe. means i will have to run an venting bov.

2 questions.

1st. should i also put the afm into the intercooler pipe on the cold side? and should this be placed closer to the throttle body before the bov so. plenum => throttle body => afm => bov => cooler

2nd. is there any venting bov which is silent and doesnt make every1 look at u when it has its hecktic "WOOOSHH POSSHHH LOOK @ ME IM GAY"

1. aftermarket front facing plenum.

2. trust turbo, trust turbos dont like no bov.

3. for a track drift car, so when i come into a corner top of 3rd and lift off pedal so the car doesnt stall and i crash n die.

you have a Plazmaman Plenum dont u think the recirculate pipe is ugly as?

get a flange welded onto your cooler piping and mount your bov behind one of the headlights (i have myne on the drivers side) and run the recirc pipe behind the cooler and back up with the piping into the intake pipe. atmo bovs and afm's dont go together too well most of the time

Ugh i know what you mean, just bought a 33 with a fully hektic BOV.. I would be fine with it at the track or something (I am childish at heart and the noises make me giggle ;) ) but for the street it is serious cop bait!

Simple two answers. Dont move the AFM, no idea why you are considering that. And no atmo bov will be quite.

He's considering it because when you do a draw through set up like he's talking about, it prevents stalling when the BOV does it's thing, and many people have problems with turbulence in the intake piping when they use a MAF on a top mount set up due to space considerations and not being able to keep the MAF far enough away from the turbo.

OP--of all the BOV's I've seen going VTA, the Greddy Type R seems the least obnoxious to me. It's a relatively large orafice it vents through so it's quiet'ish and decidedly not "chirpy". I'm completely with you on your taste of BOV noise (or lack there of).

Hey,

I don't think a re-circulating system is out of the question.

The BOV can be placed at any point between the compressor and the throttle plate(s) - it doesn't need to come off the plenum.

So you could put it right near the turbo outlet and run a short pipe back to the inlet (downstream of the AFM), can still be pretty.

2 questions.

1st. should i also put the afm into the intercooler pipe on the cold side? and should this be placed closer to the throttle body before the bov so. plenum => throttle body => afm => bov => cooler

If you do this, a re-circulating setup from the perspective of measuring air becomes useless - you can't re-inject the air downstream of the AFMs anymore.

2nd. is there any venting bov which is silent and doesnt make every1 look at u when it has its hecktic "WOOOSHH POSSHHH LOOK @ ME IM GAY"

Not really. The bigger the outlet pipe diameter, the less velocity/noise - but I haven't seen a 10" BOV. The more boost, the more noise upon release.

If you are going to keep the AFM setup, and you think a BOV is essential, then leave the AFM upstream of the compressor and put a re-circ system into place.

I'm sure someone can make this pretty for you (and you won't have to explain why your car sometimes tries to set fire to the cars behind it to the po-po).

Or if the current pipework is finished and you really really don't want the noise, leave the BOV off entirely.

Or if you want a justification for fitting an atmo BOV - man up, you don't need one. Just fit what you want ;)

Regards,

Saliya

i never really took much notice in other peoples setup.

what do most peopple do with highmount setup with forward facing plenums?

i was planing to go no bov but then my turbo choice changed to a trust, and i know heaps of peopole with trust setups with no bov and they all need rebuilding LOL

well I'm running a T518Z on my silvia with all metal intake and cooler piping and no BOV. no problems at all from the turbo but you'll need to be prepared to live with some chronic tutututututu everytime you lift of the throttle or change gear. I haven't seen any ill effect from not having a BOV on it but I think I might add one purely to get rid of the insane noises it makes....

lol. I think they need a lesson in turbo charger operation basics. compressor surge is a phenomenon that occurs where a compressor is producing more airflow at a point where the engine cannot ingest it. it also occurs in twin turbo engines and is sometimes refereed to as turbo shuffle etc. it is eliminated by carefully reviewing compressor maps and choosing the right turbo and some manufactures also add small bypass holes (anti surge covers/slots/etc) to combat it too as the turbo is spooling up. as for the turbo spinning in the other direction. rofl. that would be a neat trick to stop a compressor AND turbine wheel that are spinning at 100,000rpm and linked by a common shaft and make them turn the other way in a split second even though there is constant pressure on the exhaust side keeping it turning the same way..... I would like to see them demonstrate that.

by their logic my turbo must be super fked by now. it's been running without any kind of bov since new and by now must be just as good at spinning backwards as it is at spinning forwards. imagine that. every time I lift off the throttle my turbo spins backwards and forces exhaust gas back into my engine and at the same time is sucking air and fuel out of the intake and blowing it out the pod filter. bummer dude.

Hahaha!

Seriously, the whole "BOV" and "dose" and "compressor surge" thing is probably the most misunderstood and misleading bunch of shit read about on the internet.

I run a BOV on mine, but it is wound up that tight it hardly ever goes off unless im on full noise, which is the way i like it.

The car will only "stall and die"  if your clutch is in. 

I don't run a bov,   mine can stall between gears but only if there is a reasonable load on the engine and I change gears really slowly.

Not when lifting off and still in gear.

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • 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.
