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

cheers in advance

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 still got the stocka

im enjoyin dosin everuwhere i go i mite just put stock

one in and block it wit my mad moutain dew can modification

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.

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
