Everyone thanks so far but I think you are all getting carried away....hehehe.

I was saying I'm thinking of fitting a aftermarket non atomspheric BOV. My stock is still holding boost. So iis there adjustment required to be made on the BOV? I have a return flow FMIC and cat back exhuast at the moment.

Cheers

The simple answer is: if your Blow Off Valve has any adjustment mechanism on it then yes you can adjust the valve to suit whatever amount of pressure that you would like to release. The amount is dependant on what you want to do, so no-one else can answer that except you. A mechanic and/or tuner will help you in this respect after you have worked out what you want to do and why you are doing it.

Why are you thinking of putting a atmospheric Blow off valve? They are illegal and generally make a standard vehicle run erratically but they do sound fooly sik maaaayte. On a highly modified vehicle they have their place but add little to a basically stock engine.

If thats what you're after then go for it, remembering that the change will have consequences.

The type of intercooler won't make a difference unless you're also changing the position of the BOV. If you're just mounting it on the stock RB25 position then just make sure that it clears the bonnet and that you also remember to block off the return pipe from the stock BOV.

The type of exhaust that you have fitted will not make a difference to the type of BOV fitted.

Does that clear things up a little for you?

my opinion, forget about getting aftermarket BOVs even plumb-backs. the stock Nissan BOV can take alot of boost without leaking. Kier Wilson's own skyline had the stock BOV in it and he reckoned theres no way they'd leak so dont see the point of changing it if it doesnt make any difference at all unless you're looking at beyond 2 BAR or 28psi boost but then again it wont be a street car anymore if you run that much boost.

if you want induction noise, get a pod filter and be sure u get an airbox made up for the pod to avoid cops trying to sting you when they see the pod and it will also be shielded from engine heat. u'll get a bit of power out of pod filters too.

Thanks all for the advice. That was what my tot was also that it will make no diff on a stock motor even with just the exhuast and FMIC in place. Rather new to this turbo game (previous car tricked out twin cam civic).

Anyways was told by a work mate of mine who claims to drive a skyline before back when he was in the east. That I should have by BOV changed cos of this 2 simple things that I have done. Kind of suspected that he knew also next to SH*T cos he told me my HKS exhuast was useless no power cos it makes no sound (not loud). He said loud exhuast equals power. From there I started to feel that he already know nuts.

So that is why I came in here and asked you guys out there proper who are into our type of cars and now much more.

Get better friends :)

As R33_Nick mentioned before, getting a pod filter or even a high flowing filter for your stock airbox (such as the popular K&N filter) will give you a more efficient power source. If your exhaust is a cat-back only then getting a turbo back exhaust system with a high flowing catalytic converter will improve things even more. Most engines works better when they can breath better, on both the intake and exhaust sides. Some engines need restrictions but a RB25DET will be better with less restricting "breathing".

Since you already have a Front Mount Intercooler then you may as well spend the money that you were going to spend on the BOV on upgrading theinduction and exhaust side of things first.

After that, then you can start shovelling in money as your quest for more power, traction and handling etc etc grows.

Keep asking in here " There are no stupid questions, only those that are not asked".

Your friend was right though, the more noise from the exhaust the more power there is, just see those loud Hyundai Excel exhausts. Those cars are beasts, especially with the frangipani stickers on them!

This... Possibly the most accurate statement ever made on SAU.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
