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.

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.

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.

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.

Yeah but a stock rb25 turbo is nylon/ceramic and journal bearing

An s15 with steelwheeled ball bearing turbo will last alot longer with no bov than your turbo seriously don't block the bov

The s14 I bought recently has no bov I'm totally sick of the sound after 6 weeks and I'm trying to raise the funds to get a bov so I can stop my car sounding like a pigeon

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.

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.

      Could you modify this duct so instead it pushes the extra air through the radiator too and not down and out? For temps, I know it's not the greatest idea, but as a bit of a last resort, you could use a very intermittent misting spray onto the front of the coolers/rad. You don't want to be soaking them such that water is dripping off, but a small most on/off so that the water evaporates. That point of it constantly evaporating, rather than being soaked in water, will pull a LOT of heat out of the cooler. I'm literally thinking just the little mist sprayers for a garden from Bunnings. Being in a low humidity climate it will help even more! The other trick if you want to be ghetto is some shade cloth hung in the opening, and keep it wet. Pretty much now it's acting like an evap cooler on a house, but cooling the air you need to use to cool the radiator...   On a topic to think about too though, when air enters through the bumper, is it all nicely ducted from the edges of that opening back at a nice angle, or is it like most cars, and the edge of the opening just stops, and suddenly it's wayyy wider behind that? If it does the later, get it shrouded out at nice angles. When that opening changes too rapidly, it can actually cause a high pressure zone between the front bar and radiator, and limit air flow into that area, which means less air for cooling, as it effectively stalls the air, AND adds to drag...

      It doesn't look like there's a lot of options out there these days, and what's out there is performance oriented aftermarket stuff (with the GTR markup) I wonder if there are other cars with similar springs, after all its just a matter of length, diameter and stiffness. Alternatively, I did see coil spacers. Probably not the best option, but could be serviceable too.
