cannabiscorpse Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Dont quote me mate but i think it still can be. As far as all the other gtst owners have said you can get defected for an aftermarket bov. As far as the police are concerned it wont matter that its blocked imo.

cannabiscorpse Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 (edited) Best bet mate, if you dont have the standard one still they are cheap as shit for the to buy. No doubt they see one of those shiny looking ssqv bov's on there it will be sticker time for you. Plus like you said, they sound shit.

cannabiscorpse Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 yeah cars only runnin stock boost n stock turbz so im not worried ill leave it blocked Yeah man, i havent done it cause im not big on the sound, but i read a huge thread on it and it seems there is no solid info on it being unhealthy for the turbo. There was a few guys pointing out that its bad for the turbo etc, but all the guys that had done it had zero problems.

mad082 Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 it's not an immediate issue with blocking off the bov, but it will shorten the life of your turbo, plus the fact that it increases the response time. my old 180sx had the stock bov on it and they are crap and do bugger all. i put an aftermarket bov on and it felt like a totally difference car on gear changes. so much less lag. you have to remember that by blocking off the bov you are making all the air in the cooler piping go backwards out of the turbo (and AFM). this means the turbo is slowing down dramatically, and the ecu is pumping extra fuel into the engine, so you increase your chances of it stalling when pulling up to an intersection as well as fouling the plugs.

ARTZ Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 yeah its a pretty pointless mod but to each his own.. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/369742-bov-defect-question/#findComment-5894943 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannabiscorpse Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Well its a very individual taste i guess. Not something im into, even the standard bov gets annoying with a pod filter occasionally. I did read on the thread i was talking about that it was commonly asked by tuners to remove the blocking piece. Imo thats a good enough reason not to block it off, but as you said- each to their own.

cannabiscorpse Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 His car, his choice mate. No skin off your back if he stalls it or has to replace his plugs everytime he fills up. The others have pointed out the negatives, and if he wants to risk it, so be it. Having said that, most blokes dont have a problem. One person has said he had to raise his idle to compensate.

cannabiscorpse Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 For the op, this is thread i was talking about. At the end of the day its up to you and your personal preference, As the others have said, its not as ideal or efficient, but you know that. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/240998-blocking-off-bov/ Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/369742-bov-defect-question/#findComment-5895061 Share on other sites More sharing options...
