blow off valve plate


Recommended Posts

Hi, 

 

I think my blitz is leaking and have seen many people saying they are known for leaking 

 

I am saying this as i get random boost around 14 psi and sometime it goes to 16-17 but other times stays at 14-15

 

prior to tunning had the same problem as it was reaching 6 psi where it should have been 9 psi . even worse it was on 1-3 psi if the car was off road for 2-3 month which lead me to believe blow off valve internals needed a bit of drive ...

 

anyway I could be wrong and to test it, I am buying a new BOV,. greddy 

 

i have looked at the mounting plates and it seems to be the same for blitz and greddy( see below).

 

is there a standard between the BOV so they have have same aparture / hole size so I could use my blitz valve ?

 

also would you use gasket maker for the connection between pipe and dump valve ?

What do you mean it looks the same!?

The Nissan side of it is the same.  Of course it is.  The BOV side is completely different.  Look at the bloody bolt spacing!

And paper gasket.  Buy gasket making paper and cut a gasket out.

can't as haven't got anything to block it off in addition to potentially damaging turbo due to pressure!

You don't have a coke can?

I'll ignore the turbo pressure damage concern for the most part, but I will guarantee doing it for a test won't cause an issue.

changed to greddy and i was very happy as boost built to 17 psi but that was short lived as it soon dropped to 15.4 psi again as soon as car was hot.

 

need to speak to tuner

 

i spoke he is using air temp to adjust fuel and boost so don't have too much boost when hot

Where is your boost reference? Inadequate IC setups will often lead to boost not being maintained after heat soak.

However, if you were to take your boost reference post IC you kind of masks those symptoms, another reason factory Nissan engineers took a boost reference post IC as well.

What is ic? Intercooler?

yep, kinda common reduction
I do not understand what's the fuss about it. just put ur blow off in front of the throttle and that's it, everything will work perfectly

    • I can believe it if you're getting air into the pickup. Cavitation is tremendously destructive for pumps.
    • I think the pic in the first post is another car, and post 7 is OP's car with standard arms and swaybar swaybar swaybar. I can't tell what brand the silver coilovers are, and even if I could I don't know whether the spring rate is OK, if you can find a brand on the shocks and numbers on the springs that might help. Also, if you can measure the ride height from centre of your wheel to the guard that will help with advice too as handling suffers if ride height is too low
    • sadly, pics no work. that car must have spent a lot of time in a cryo bubble
    • In the first photo you posted, the colour of the control arms are the signature colour for Ikeya. Same for the swaybar, signature colour for Whiteline.  I like Hardrace, they also do hardened rubber bushes if your car is mainly a street car.  I like GKTech as well, but they use a lot of rose joints in their stuff so might not be the best choice for everyone.  The system might have been good back in its day, but it's a prehistoric system now. I suspect that most people have removed the HICAS as they want the car to do what they want to do, not what the car wants to do. From what I also understand, it isn't consistent in it's behaviour on track so it's hard to trust the car/know where its absolute limits are for track use.  Having said that, I think the HICAS eliminator kit was the first thing I installed when I bought my car. I don't personally have any experience with the HICAS system on a race track.  
    • Thanks for the info. Didn’t know I had aftermarket control arms already? Will talk to my garage. What brand would u recommend if I want to play around with my camber more? I would think my camber is around stock level right now or more negative now due to lowering with coilovers. I will be lower her again 1.5 cm to get some more.    also why does everyone like to remove the hicas system? Is it because most don’t work properly anymore or ppl just don’t like them. Mine is functioning as it should be right now.    thanks for the good info
