im a bit confused,

my car has 2 BOV's it has the stock one which goes back into the intake and i have a HKS SEQ as well? i have wound the boost up to 11.5psi, should i be removing the stock bov?

hey Ash

I have the same prob as u...they left my stockie on wen the put the HKS one on..

if u find out wat to do can u tell me plz :)

thanx man

SXCSKY i have the exact same setup as you! :) same place and all,

i don't know if u loose power, i think thats only if it leaks, but how do you find out?

Hey Ash...i dunno how to find out...im takin it to UAS 2day and see wat they say

Tell us if u find somethin out

cheers ;)

howdy... my skyline aint got a BOV.. but has a POD... anyways... i want a BOV on the beast and by what i have read... being a girl and all... a BOV basically could lengthen the life of ur turbo... any one object? or has reasons y i shouldn't invest in one??

u dont want Atmo bov and plumbback. coz the plumbback is known to leak over certain boost levels which will lose u boost. thats one of the reasons u upgrade to HKS or watever. as far as pressure goes, it wont make much difference since its just doubling the release of air which is good. some going back in will act like them hybrid bovs too stopping it stalling or watever coz it stil lgets air back to the AFM. but it will make the HKS quieter too probably coz not as much air coming out of it.

id remove the original i reckon. just block up the places where it goes in i.e. put blockers up any pipes that are left from it's removal. easy.

no need for 2! or yeh u could also just jam it shut somehow but easier to take it off and fill the holes with something and clamp it up nice n tight. :)

R33NismoGirl - Your car has a blow off valve standard. Has it been removed?

Ash - there is nothing really wrong with having 2 BOVs. (GTRs have 2). The factory one would have been left in place to help with maintaining the factory idle characteristics. The 2 valves will flow much better than 1 and will therefore work more effectively.

Cameron & Ash - There is a thread on these forums about modifying the stock BOV that you may find interesting.

Thats cause gtr's have 2 turbos :D hehe

yer i've herd the bov mod works good.... ?

Well I am going to disagree with a few people here then...

recently I installed a pod, K&N tapered with chrome end...have had it for about as long as they have made this model (used to be on one of my dads many drag engines) anyway it sounds awesome, good suction noise and scares the bejesus out of the od commo driver...

You CAN hear the standard bov, and it is working fine, however I have replaced the standard BOV with a GFB stealth and all I can say is giddy up...

At full plumb back it seems to hold and come on boost quicker, I am aiming to dyno to prove my point unless someone beats me to it, has already been proven on a s15...

add to this at FULL atmo the car STILL idles like factory no backfiring, no hiccups nothing, its all a matter of a bit of spring adjustment. This is only factory boost (9psi??) and I am very happy...espcially after I replaced the BOV gasket with a new one as the old one created a high pitched squel which was in fact a boost leak....

hey guys

Ok nowim confused 1 dude says its ok to have a stockie BOV with ya BLITZ BOV ...and another says seal it....and another says just switch the vacuum hose over to the BLITZ BOV .....ok guys so wat should i do then .....????? plz someone tell me way to many opinions on this subject :headspin: ....oh yeh can someone help me with the reason y i get a small backfire wen after the BOV goes off????

thanx guys :D

as far as i can see i dont have one... but i have been tol i do but it dont make noise?! i dunno i new to skylines only had it for 10 months & still learning more everyday... if someone caould give me some more info on where to find to standard BOV that would help other than that i am lost... thanx for the tips guys... i am thinking NOT 2 worry about getting one. i just got my beast back after a cracked head & head gasket lol shit happens... damn trucks!

If you have a stock airbox you won't hear the stock BOV...

i havn't got a pic to post but if you look at the pipe where the air inlet connnects to the intake manifold (near the firewall)... you'll see the stock bov with a black rubber hose coming off it.... sorry, i'm not very good at explaining but if someone can post a pic that'll show you where it is....

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
