hi guys

i was just wonderin whether or not with the stock BOV on the R33 you can pull the plumb back hose off and make it atmospheric. does this cause any problems??? and does it work better, not better, works the same, just makes a louder noise. what?? can u please email me to tell me, thanks alot.

Godfather - I'm guessing the stalling is for two reasons -

1. runs rich because AFM will read higher than actual air into engine when BOV vents;

2. stock BOV leaks on boost (see thread titled "BOV mod" or something similar...) causing excessively rich.

I have a rice-boy-spec vent to atmosphere - It idles OK, stalls about once a week - After market management will fix that.

lbfalcon - don't know what you are talking about mate... you will not shatter your turbo because there is no airflow back to the turbo. I think you have confused having no BOV, the air feeding back to the turbo through the compressor will have long term damaging effects on the blades and bearings.

the stock bov does not leak on boost, it leaks a tiny little bit of air around 0 pressure to make the transition on and off boost smoother.

The BOV mod is nothing special it does nothing for power. I tried it and I must say leaving it alone is the best idea.

Ronin - i think i know what ure referring too... seems familiar.. something abt placing a small screw on one of the small holes at the bottom of the bov.. will look it up
Don't use a screw, use the little black lid bit out of the top of an old style BIC Biro. Does the same job, fits the hole like it's made for it, and can be removed without having buggered up the OEM BOV :D

I wonder if a stock bov with the screw mod vented to atmo would idle better seeing as it wouldnt be leaking and causing afr probs?? Just a thaught..

I know a completly stock one will contiuously stall when vented to atmo.

My stokies got the little mod might vent it to atmo and see how it goes just for curiositys sake, however i dont know why youde want it venting to atmo considering all the negative sides to it, and if your into the noise the stockie bov plumbed is pretty loud when youve got a pod filter, well mine is anyway.

In my case it made my idle rougher and caused minor surges, but this was plumbed back...

I originally had an older style Turbosmart Type II BOV which caused a rough idle and surging.

I went back to the factory BOV and the rough idle and surging went away completely, however as already mentioned it just wasnt as snappy.

So I did the screw mod, there was a noticable difference, but it idled a little rough and was surging again but not as bad.

the screw won't help your cause with it venting to atmo, that little hole just does exactly what rev210 says, smoothes out the transition from off-on boost. blocking it just stops that from smoothing out.

Ok, wouldn't that little leak be just like if you had a leak in your manifold (when the stock bov is venting to atmo of course) and a leak in your manifold would cause rough/no ide wouldn't it?

I just recon this little leak is why the stock bov doesnt idle when vented to atmo and most other aftermarket ones do because they dont have that little leak.

Dont get me wrong im all for the stockie being plumbed back and dont know why anyone would want it venting to atmo. My mate tried to tell me once that venting to atmo was better cause the hot already compressed air went back infront of the turbo again with a plumb back, i dont recon this is really true cause when air drops in pressure it drops in temp aswell so theoretically it would go back at the same temp as it came in, accept of course that the intercooler has already taken some heat out so maybe the air would go back at a lower temp than it came in? would this make plumbacks better??

Also i can see some good in blocking off the hole, yes it may stop the smoothing out as may people have said thats why nissan put it there but surly the turbo would not be working as hard to make the same boost?

How does air leak at zero pressure?? i always thaught you needed a difference in pressure to get movment. anyhow i know for a fact it does leak under pressure cause i blew on it and like alot of other peolpe found out when they tried this it bypassed air (leaked), aparrently a human being can generate almost 2 psi with there mouth i found the harder i blew the more it leaked. this would mean it leaks under pressure wouldnt it?

I can say that yes the stock bov vents on spool when I had it venting to atmosphere, I rigged up a really dodgy bent piece of metal which then bent out to vent the air, but I found that having something blocking it almost stopped the stalling on idle, I found this out by holding my hand over where the air vents and it idled smooth as silk, once I unblocked it, BAM rough idle?

I have no friggin idea what this means and am not a mechanic, I will be taking pics later on before I reattach the plumb back just to prove how DODGY it was :(, sick of just before boost hearing a constant whoosh from the bov and thinking of all that power being lost :D

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
