i think you should keep the stock bov and throw the police attention siren in the bin.... or sell it

stock bovs are fine.... mine has held 21psi for a couple of years now

moving the AFM too close to the turbos compressor intake can and most likely will cause you problems. yes it's possible to mount it somewhere else in the intercooler piping but with a standard ecu you may have some problems. trust me, nissan mounted it as far away from the turbo intake as possible for a reason, it was just so you'd have an easy way to bolt on a pod filter...

Yer I've seen that clip before , so there's a ok surge and a bad surge.. So If I relocate the afm on the cool side of the intercooler would It work the same ? I want to get little bit of dose :D

Jeez I dont like this...

Compressor surge is a bad thing FULL STOP - I dont care how many guys have said they are running no BOVs with fully sick dose's and their turbos are fine, its not good.

Why do you need to stuff around with what Nissan engineers did for a reason? Do you think they were sitting around thinking "where should we put the AFM?" - I doubt it, much like the BOV - Just leave it alone and spend the time/money on something useful.

And what exactly are you basing this off of? Please don't quote where you read it on the internet to me either. Theory and real world application are two different things.

OP--if you are interested in putting your MAF in you intercooler piping, google "blow through MAF" and see what comes up. A lot of americans do it. I don't know how well it works with out tuning, but there is some good info out there about it.

Ahh good old BOV discussions, we should just have a section on SAU dedicated to BOV's considering the same topic gets discussed on a daily basis and ends up with people arguing whether compressor surge is bad or not.

Sheriff wan don't be hating lol

I'll look up the maf sensor in goole , yes there's heaps of thread on the Internet but som saying it's ok one says it's bad and a lot of dumbshits that think they know everything

the whole point in forums is to ask a question and let other skyline users reply first hand,

I just wanted to hear bout what you guys had to say

      Your other option is to buy a spray can of hi-fill and prime it with some pinholes. See if the primer makes them disappear. If it does, then you can leave it with pinholes of that size and they will go away when the painter takes over.

      Ah ok. I seem to be mixing it like everyone else does so not sure what's happening. Will experiment with it more.

      Depends on what you mean by OK. First up, was this done cold or hot? Are they reasonably consistent? Yes, they are reasonably consistent. Could be better. But unless it has had a build at some point, it is a ~30 year old engine and you'd expect some variation. Some of the difference could also be in user technique Is it good compression? Well....not numerically, no. New they were >160 psi. The one at 140 would be fine, in that context. If they were all ~140, you'd be reasonably happy. But the one that is @120 is twice as far down from the original numbers as the one @ 140. But.. (again)... technique can play a part in the absolute magnitude of these numbers, and the quality/state of repair/accuracy of the pressure gauge is not known. In the context of the above, the compression tester that was used last on my car is regularly compared to a known good pressure gauge. Not calibrated, exactly, but compared to a reference instrument that is not used for any other purpose, so cops no abuse. So we can trust the measurements off that tester. But another tester in the same workshop wasn't being compared against the standard and was reading a good 30ish psi lower. When you're reading 100 psu but the engine is really doing 130, you can make bad decisions.

      More likely from tiny bubbles in the filler/putty. Maybe be less aggressive when mixing it. Perhaps invest in a vacuum chamber to pull the air bubbles out?** **I don't know if this is a thing for body filler. I see hardcore epoxy makers degassing their mixed resin on the regular.

      IIRC, the speedo on these is fed from the sensor in/on the snout of the diff.
