Hey Munna,

I bought my R32 with the same setup, standard recirculating BOV and an atmo BOV (non-adjustable HKS Super BOV on mine) in the same place as yours. The reason people set it up this way is because they want to run an atmo BOV for some reason (high boost application or they just like the sound), but also want the car to retain idle quality and not to run mega rich between gear changes because the standard BOV will still work to a certain degree. (The cars ECU expects a certain amount of air to be recirculated by the std BOV at these points).

Didn't really hamper performance of the car, but it did hamper performance of the HKS BOV as it hardly even went off most of the time!

So it really seemed like a pointless setup, I ended up removing it for that reason.

Yeah I had the same thing - on 16psi the HKS would work alot harder.

As far as limits of the std BOV - from what I've heard it's pretty variable....I thought mine was leaking at 12psi but have since discovered it isn't. I've heard they hold up to 17psi standard, but can't confirm it, some say more, some say less...

There's a thread on SAU that describes a modification you can do to the BOV to make it hold a bit more boost at the cost of causing it open up a little slower:

.....Additionally, the Americans seem to love our std Skyline BOV as well - it's a Mitsubishi design and comes on a few models they have over there, a few things they've done to make them hold more boost:

Crush it in a vice!

Physically drill out the small air leak inside the bov and vent it to the atmosphere for slow openning and holds boost up to 30psi, not bad!!

Hey CerealKiller,

Yeah, tightening it up so far that it can't open will definitely nullify it!! Of course if you have a pod filter the std bov is quite loud too.....

A friend and I tried this on his DR30 Skyline which has a adjustable Sheepdog BOV, we were able to prevent it from openning at all, such was the extent of the adjustment. Not necessarily good for the turbo (it has no std bov)....but so much quieter, b4 it sounded like a steam train venting every time it went off!

Personally on my car I just went to a jap wrecker and got a piece of intake piping without the mount/hole for an atmo BOV and then sold the BOV!

Yeah I had the same thing - on 16psi the HKS would work

RaseR Blocked the little hole off on the standard blow off valve as in the the posts you listed and I could hardly beleive how much faster the turbo spolled up. Heaps more responive now and atmo blow off valve is louder.

Hey Munna, great result!

I had limited success with the BOV mod (I tried it after removing my atmo bov), seemed to hold boost a little better and opened up later - but I ended up reverting back because on my car it also caused infrequent part throttle surging. So many people have had totally different results from doing this mod.....it's interesting, I wouldn't mind trying the 'Dodge Garage' BOV mod as described in the third article I posted earlier, but haven't had the inclination as yet!!

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
