Bov Defect Question

[skylinesandman]

hey guys just a quick question

my car has a hks ssqv on it but i hated the sound it makes

so basically i dodged it up with a mountain dew can so it is blocked and not working

can u still get defected for this even though it isnt working

cheers in advance

[cannabiscorpse]

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.

Best off just grabbing a stock one and chucking it in there.

[skylinesandman]

cheers lads i may just do that tonite last thing i want is a defect

[cannabiscorpse]

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 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.

[ARTZ]

yeah its a pretty pointless mod but to each his own..

[cannabiscorpse]

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.

[skylinesandman]

yeah i know guys runnin big turbos n big boost n they dont seem to have any probs

[stig mick]

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

Bahahaha overfueling, stalling at intersections and foul plugs from compressor surge.... Are you f**king high?

[cannabiscorpse]

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]

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.

Can confirm that hes car does not stall or foul plugs. Nor my car what has been dosing for years. Nor the other 20,000 vls, skylines what dose

[stig mick]

Do you have a afm?

I had an r32 with no afm was fine without a bov

But the last r32 I had stalled constantly when I blocked off the bov so I unblocked it
