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.

    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
    • This is mine, works a treat for the cars, suction is good, I use the Bissell clean and protect stuff I have found giving it a good spray and light scrub with the soft brush on the head of the nossle for carpet, and a rub with a microfibre for cloth seats and cloth door trims, prior to another quick spray before vacuuming it up works the best @GTSBoy You would surprised on what it gets out of carpet and seats that actually "look" clean, I recommend that you test drive yours when you have a little time to kill, then post pics of the muddy looking water that I believe you will find
