nope. why would it?

all it does is recirculate excessive built up pressure when you close the throttle body to prevent compressor surge.

there is no perfomance gains to be had from having a given type of blow off valve or recirculation valve.

the aftermarket ones are usually ass and either make the car run like ass or make silly noises.

OK cool i just thought the aftermarket ones release more pressure then the normal ones becasue they can be bigger which means they clear out more of the pressure built up

no the standard ones are fine, please do not change them, aftermarket bov's are pointless and no gain

i suggest doing some reading of the upgrade threads to avoid wasting $ on pointless changes / upgrades etc

^ No. Aftermarket ones seal on idle - which is BAD.

stock gtr ones are fully open at idle... wich is why they need to be plumbed back if using air flow meters.

i tryed two wanker hks ssq's, absolutly shit compared to stock. massive delay and nowhere near as much flow.

in a perfect world the bocv would have such a light spring that its just enough to seat the valve and hold no more than 3 or 4 pound. dont forget its the boost pressure acting on the opposite side of the valve that seals it not the spring tension.

so in reality a proper poppet style bov with a rubberised seat (stock gtr) can never leak boost. ever. so long as the bov has got the same boost acting on its diaphram as it got in the pipe it sits in.

Here's a handy one for a track car: If you run MAP-sensored load metering, you can get rid of the recirc' setup on OE GT-R and have them vent to atmosphere, and K&N happen to make some of those little 'breather filters' that have exactly the same ID circumference as the OD of the factory GT-R bov outlet ports :D (you'll need the filters so you don't suck crap into the engine while running in manifold vacuum)

Pro tip. Fully hektic PSSSCHTTTTTT!!!! noise, if you like that kinda thing...

im 99% sure if u run pods u can here the stock BOV alot louder. but hey.... i dont no cause i got stock BOV and a stock Airbox. i cant hear anything, every now and than when driving next to a concrete wall on the freeway or somthing other than that, my engine bay looks factory, and my car is quite as...... till i cut her loose that is... than Kaki regu starts making some noise. haha

having them leak @ idle/low RPM eliminates compressor surge when using larger turbos.

same as the factory piping. It was all designed that way for a reason.

Doesn't comp surge occur when the turbo is making positive pressure in which case the stock bov will be closed anyway?

For what its worth i had a greddy recirculating valve which was shut on idle on my 25 and had no probs with idle,stalling when stopping etc etc.

There's a sorta 'baffle' thing in the stock airbox that you can remove that will make the stock BOV much louder if you remove it - if you like that sort of thing.

R31Nismoid is correct. Most stock blowoff valves have a small bypass hole about 5mm in diameter to stop the low throttle surge, I have blocked mine thinking it would be ok but there is the odd flutter when on boost at low revs and throttle opening.

Stock GTR BOV can handle above 300kW's.

Aftermarket BOV's have no gain.

Only reason to change if you are running a ridiculously high amount of boost and the stock BOV cannot handle it any more.

Comp surge can occur anywhere on a compressor's map.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
