M35 Bov?

I must admit that when I first read through this thread I drew conclusions from the text, but didn't listen to Chris's audio recording. At Billy's insistence I listened today and it's EXACTLY the noise I get, so I'm 99% sure it's the BOV.

So my options are either to buy a new one (Nissan or aftermarket), swap with someone and test, or block off and test. I hear aluminum cans work a treat :thumbsup:

I just rang Turbosmart to get the low-down on what the most suitable BOV is for the M35.

The Kompact Plumb Back - Nissan (TS-0203-1226) is suitable for the stock ceramic turbo and for a GCG Highflow PROVIDING you don't turn up the boost. So that is pretty much a no go for those who wish to dial up the power output in regards to PSI.

The best option for a higher PSI is the Nissan Dual Port (TS-0205-1026), as mentioned earlier you cannot run the trumpet due to the restricted space, it is recommended you don't have the trumpet on and block the outlet (Turbosmart have a Port Blanking Plug that does the job). The unit would have to operate as 100% Plumb Back (which was what I'm after anyway).

I've just had a quick look on the net and the pricing is around $460.00 for the Nissan Dual Port.

If anyone can offer any feedback on the Nissan Dual Port please do :)

Aaron and Scotty, this is what I was on about on Saturday night. This is what I was told by both Turbosmart and MTQ. I know you keep saying that I can run the Kompact with the softer spring Aaron, but I don't get why they keep saying the Kompact is only for lower boost applications?

Both say they're suitable for Stageas, Kompact runs $153 plus shipping, Dual Port is $310 plus shipping. Neither will exactly break the bank but I'm guessing they're cheaper/easier than a new factory Nissan BOV.

As far as I can tell, Turbosmart are the easiest to get plumb back BOVs. I know there are Blitz, Greddy, etc, but they don't seem to do plumb backs.

did you see the price he was quoted for a dual port?

thats why we arent allowed to use the cheaper one. just replace cant run high enough boost with we cant get a higher pay.

honestly i ran the kompact series for ages with no worries at all. soft spring is fine and that was at 20psi.if our stock ones are handling it with just a plate and shaft design, im sure a piston design that the kompact has will outdo the job fine

Yep. Have for a while. Just trying to work out how best to fix it.

Aaron keeps trying to save me money :whistling:

do you really want something that sticks out like dogs balls, as compared to something almost unoticable..

the later kompact series are completely adjustable aswell.

Agree, but how it works is more important.

Fine, I'll just order the Kompact with the soft spring. Should fix the issue (I hope).

well check the issue is the BOV first with swapping with someone else for a run.

then get it.i wouldve given you mine had i known.. it just needs a softer spring. i had a stronger spring so I could Vent to atmosphere.. then i grew up lol

Can probs borrow mine for a few hours tonight if he wants; Im still waiting for my AFM so my cars off the road any how. I assume the ash cloud has inhibited it getting out of Sydney >_<

Nah busy tonight, might aim for a weekend. Or if I can get one locally at the ~$150 I'm looking at for a new one on ebay, I'll just get one. Not worth continually stuffing around.

No dramas. Id give JDMSpares on ebay an email and see if theyve got one - they have some other odd parts for the M35. Located at Lonsdale unfortuantely. Nisswreck also have an M35, but I think they wanted to do a halfcut so they probs wouldnt be willing to rip the BOV off :(

:rofl: yeah I suspect theyd be easier to work with in person.. You dont get it from their website, but its a pretty damn big wreckers yard they're running.

I suspect they were probs wanted to try and offload a BOV not directly off the M35 they have whole - ie something off a shelf; which is why they wanted the photo. Also, the girl that answers the emails isnt necessarily a cars person (She might be, nfi tbh)

Pretty sure they dicked me around last time I looked for parts.

How much is a standard BOV worth though? I'm not prepared to pay $100 for a second hand one when I can pay $150 for a new one, and know I won't have an issue.

Anyone know the going rate?

Has anyone actually figured out if this is a BOV problem?

I still have the exact same issue, and Im confident its something to do with the wastegate as you can hear it reverberate right through the exhaust. It literally sounds like its underneath you when driving. If you hold the throttle right when it happens you can make it fart as long as you want. I tried blocking my BOV and still had farts.

To me it sounds like the wastegate isn't opening properly or shuddering. It only farts under medium load. If i floor it it cannot fart - its like it opens properly then, but if im building boost up a hill slowly it happens most of the time....

Surely if it was BOV it would still fart when I floor it. It would fart at the same boost level everytime?

I want to fix this as it shits me!

    • Been ages since I did anything on the s15 but got some time and motivation over the weekend. Brakes are now fitted with fresh seals, hardware and pads. Bolted up with the alpha omega brackets, just waiting on 2 fittings and sensors to Bleed them. With that done moved onto the fuel system. The injectors have been cleaned ,flow tested, new filters and orings.  Made a bracket to hold the surge tank with surge tank and pumps mounted then plumbed. Roll-over valve done too. Need to make a new loom and add individual relays for it all. Had new flange welded on inlet manifold for a bosch 74mm DBW throttle body.  Coolant bypass hose done with some fittings welded on now then soda blasted. Waiting on sensors to arrive to install and pwr for radiator and intercooler still. Getting to point of buying an ECU and looking like may be going something else as link doesn't have enough inputs.   Work has been awesome with first trip to Perth and now on the way to Darwin looking for a good result there.
    • It always makes me laugh when I hear things like this, when I was a young bloke I bought a old Mk1 Escort, one of my mates said "how do you expect to have a girlfriend in a old car like this", my reply was "if she doesn't like the car she can walk, and if she is more interested in the car I drive than me she can fark off" This is how you can tell if you have a good woman, they care not about things like the cars you drive or what it sounds like Pandering to crazy obsessed women who care more about how they look in a car than the person driving it is something that I've always kept away from Not saying my Mrs isn't crazy at times, but it's typically me being a idiot that incites the crazy 🤪
    • But where's the fun in that, for me it isn't about the money, I have money, and I have time, I enjoy the process of things, the picking parts, the "adventure" of it all, and for the bits I can do myself, the actual work is enjoyable, well, varying levels on enjoyment on hard to reach things like that farking thermostat I just changed
    • Pretty sure he has made it clear this is a better car
