helloooo,

here is another debatable topic and a question thats has more than likely been asked before, I have a 1993 S1 R33 GTS that i have fitted the stock turbo kit from the GTS-T, the car has been fine for the last 6 months no issues, But now i wanna up the boost from the stock 5psi to around 10psi nothing crazy. My question is, the stock system runs a BOV and a internal waste together, now i have only been running the internal waste gate but i have just ordered a Greddy BOV and want to know if i can just run the BOV and not the waste gate (still leaving the actuator on there waste gate just not running the vacuum hose to it). going off what i understand it should be fine but is there anything im missing ????

BOV are used so when you change gear you dont back up your turbo and essentially keep it spooled when shifing, so why run a internal gate as well or is the gate just a fail safe so if the bov dosnt work you wont over boost your car?

Please, please, please, follow the advice about googling how/why a wastegate does what it does.

BOV and wastegate bear no relationship to each other except that you will find them both on a turbo car.

spend money on a proper diff...

Then again, 10 years ago I would have invested in a BOV (I actually did on my 1st car) - dumbest thing I ever did...

Don't talk sense. No one will listen with the BOV debate.

1. Learn how to construct sentences properly. It will help you in life.

2. You don't have basic understanding of how a turbocharged engine's components work together. This means you'll have to research them yourself in your time. No one here will school you in that, so have fun Googling.

3. Sell your after market blow-off valve and spend the money elsewhere (e.g. better tyres).

4. Look in the DIY section for grounding the standard boost solenoid.

OR, ignore everything I said and do whatever you want, because it's your money and your car.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
