But I agree these forums are getting meaner, that or the population of stupid threads is on the rise. People tend to be snapping at people in the first post these days. It used to be after 20 replies or so!

Yes, this is what I think the cause is. But it could be that now I just happen to notice them more rather than before

Yep, and we were called wankers by the old guys. :blink:

So we shut our traps, listened up and accepted good advice without compounding our youthful stupidity by backchatting. :(

I agree about the bullying it needs to be looked at but it comes from frustration of long termers that this topic has been discussed to death and a simple search will answer nearly any question you can think of. If noobs need more info, adding a question to the old thread makes more sense than opening another which adds to the burden of further searches.

I like this guy!

There is an interesting article by the guys at nizpro basically saying that factory BOV's are emission devices, and i tend to agree. MAP sensor'd supras dont have BOV's, and i dont think it wwas toyota trying to save $2, then they reverted back to AFM and bov, coincidence i think not.

agree.

please continue

mmmmmmmmmm

I bought an R31 with an RB20DET in it, 1 bar boost (tailed off to 10psi at redline, shitty bleeder) on the stock turbo. The guy before me never ran a BOV, and it had massive compressor flutter. I ran it with no BOV for another 3 years daily driven daily boosted. The turbo was still fine, I had to do the manifold bolts and put an R33 turbo on there. The stock one was still in good condition when I pulled it off.

The whole "blocking your bov off causes damage" is bullshit. Genuine compressor surge at WOT will quickly kill a turbo but when the throttle shuts there is no exhaust gas, the turbo is not loaded. It's fine. "No BOV kills turbos" is only an argument that BOV manufacturers want to push. If you just spent $4k on a fresh twin turbo setup for your GTR then a BOV is cheap insurance because having it definitely won't hurt, not having it... mayyyyyyybe reduce the life a little but I've never seen one of these threads where someone posted "I had a stock turbo good tune it was only running 10psi and the turbo let go after I blocked the BOV off". Not once has that happened, but I'm happy to be proven wrong.

Why do manufactuers fit BOVs? Because people get really confused when they change gears and their car makes mysterious whooshing noises.

I'm out.

its called COMPRESSOR SURGE or AIR REVERSION . are you 15 years old or just talk like it?

it doesnt "work"

toyota supras do so have a factory blow off valve.

they also only have one internal wastegate on a twin turbo engine if you really want something to argue about

and i agree with what kinks said

my gtr makes those flutter noises and it has stock bov's and stock intake setup, boost restrictor is removed if that makes a difference. on WOT it spikes to 1.13 if thats normal because i dont understand those gauge readings.

this is very similar to what my induction noise is, wish my exhaust sounded like this though.

can i fit a mines front pipe and block off my blow of valve...good sound (you tube)and hectic pssss sounds +++++++++1 ...

i looked at prices of mines front pipes, it made me cry :P

thats very similar to my induction noise though and i dont have blocked off bov's, well i dont think i do, i thought my mechanics would of told me during its full service, i might have to ask them.

well how about we just close the forum then and make this site just a fact sheet as all the questions that are going to be asked have been !! so then maybe all you know all's dont have to deal with the personal agony and pain caused buy new skyline owners asking questions because they dont all ready know everything!!!!.

or even better if your sick of the questions dont read the thred and just stay on your grt pages and argue oer who knows more !!!

if it annoys or hurts you done read it and leave it to us blokes that are happy to try help !

seriously sick of some people on this site

two schools of thought here-

1. appeal to the "omg- check out the hektic dose sound, uleh" crowd

OR

2. realise that off-throtltle compressor reversion is a poor state of affairs*

*to the smart-arse mofo's- yes, i'm aware that some degree of back-off flutter will be inevitable on cars with an uber-massive a turbo system

    • I know why it happened and I’m embarrassed to say but I was testing the polarity of one of the led bulb to see which side was positive with a 12v battery and that’s when it decided to fry hoping I didn’t damage anything else
    • I came here to note that is a zener diode too base on the info there. Based on that, I'd also be suspicious that replacing it, and it's likely to do the same. A lot of use cases will see it used as either voltage protection, or to create a cheap but relatively stable fixed voltage supply. That would mean it has seen more voltage than it should, and has gone into voltage melt down. If there is something else in the circuit dumping out higher than it should voltages, that needs to be found too. It's quite likely they're trying to use the Zener to limit the voltage that is hitting through to the transistor beside it, so what ever goes to the zener is likely a signal, and they're using the transistor in that circuit to amplify it. Especially as it seems they've also got a capacitor across the zener. Looks like there is meant to be something "noisy" to that zener, and what ever it was, had a melt down. Looking at that picture, it also looks like there's some solder joints that really need redoing, and it might be worth having the whole board properly inspected.  Unfortunately, without being able to stick a multimeter on it, and start tracing it all out, I'm pretty much at a loss now to help. I don't even believe I have a climate control board from an R33 around here to pull apart and see if any of the circuit appears similar to give some ideas.
    • Nah - but you won't find anything on dismantling the seats in any such thing anyway.
    • Could be. Could also be that they sit around broken more. To be fair, you almost never see one driving around. I see more R chassis GTRs than the Renault ones.
    • Yeah. Nah. This is why I said My bold for my double emphasis. We're not talking about cars tuned to the edge of det here. We're talking about normal cars. Flame propagation speed and the amount of energy required to ignite the fuel are not significant factors when running at 1500-4000 rpm, and medium to light loads, like nearly every car on the road (except twin cab utes which are driven at 6k and 100% load all the time). There is no shortage of ignition energy available in any petrol engine. If there was, we'd all be in deep shit. The calorific value, on a volume basis, is significantly different, between 98 and 91, and that turns up immediately in consumption numbers. You can see the signal easily if you control for the other variables well enough, and/or collect enough stats. As to not seeing any benefit - we had a couple of EF and EL Falcons in the company fleet back in the late 90s and early 2000s. The EEC IV ECU in those things was particularly good at adding in timing as soon as knock headroom improved, which typically came from putting in some 95 or 98. The responsiveness and power improved noticeably, and the fuel consumption dropped considerably, just from going to 95. Less delta from there to 98 - almost not noticeable, compared to the big differences seen between 91 and 95. Way back in the day, when supermarkets first started selling fuel from their own stations, I did thousands of km in FNQ in a small Toyota. I can't remember if it was a Starlet or an early Yaris. Anyway - the supermarket servos were bringing in cheap fuel from Indonesia, and the other servos were still using locally refined gear. The fuel consumption was typically at least 5%, often as much as 8% worse on the Indo shit, presumably because they had a lot more oxygenated component in the brew, and were probably barely meeting the octane spec. Around the same time or maybe a bit later (like 25 years ago), I could tell the difference between Shell 98 and BP 98, and typically preferred to only use Shell then because the Skyline ran so much better on it. Years later I found the realtionship between them had swapped, as a consequence of yet more refinery closures. So I've only used BP 98 since. Although, I must say that I could not fault the odd tank of United 98 that I've run. It's probably the same stuff. It is also very important to remember that these findings are often dependent on region. With most of the refineries in Oz now dead, there's less variability in local stuff, and he majority of our fuels are not even refined here any more anyway. It probably depends more on which SE Asian refinery is currently cheapest to operate.
