the bov was fitted on factory cars for a reason

take it off or block it if you wish, but its doing some damage

how much i cant say, but its doing some

the service life was changed after bovs were factory fitted

so there is obviously some justification behind it

are you sure?

It was the introduction of BB around the same time?

A mates VL did close to 300,000km's with the std bush turbo running 12psi with no bov, he travelled almost 200,000km's in it.

I was talking about blocking it off, going to have a bit of fun on Friday night, then putting it back on. Its not like I'm running hectic boost, only about 7psi atm. Just wanted to know if I am going to be destroying my turbo or not.

Your Turbo will be fine :devil:

Ive gone through so many threads and read so much about not using a BOV. Conclusion is that it will not damage your turbo at all. At the most it will take 1 hour off the life time of your turbo, lol.

Block up your manifold tube and block the BOV with some metal or a coke can and listen to the fully sick flutter :devil:

this thread is a joke, to all the morons obsessed with the fluttering noise, the only real flutter that sounds any good and is the cause of something useful comes from a wastegate, preferably an external one off a big turbo. Otherwise dont bother trying to obtain the noise through other means because it never sounds the same and it never sounds cool, its merely an imitation of wastegate flutter.

:devil:

wtf...... seriously

ye i like my REAL wastegate flutter, not this fake stuff all you loosers have.

the best thing is i have 2 waste gates so i get the sound x 2.

Otherwise dont bother trying to obtain the noise through other means because it never sounds the same and it never sounds cool, its merely an imitation of wastegate flutter

Alluminium is a very good conductor of heat.

Anyway your right the coke can will work... bit dodgy though :laugh:

I can't believe this thread is still going, and that you still want your car to flutter.

My bad there. Wasn't all with it that day.

Anyway. As for worrying about aluminium melting, it has a melting point of over 600*C....

Nissan didnt use a BOV on the redtop 20's, and I know of PLENTY of people who are still running the stock turbos on 12+ psi on these engines, so, really its up to you. I dont run a BOV on my 25, and im not going to, dont listen anyone who feeds you the bullshit 'its gonna blow your turbo' story, cause it doesn't.

So if my RB25 is in good condition this will not blow my turbo running at 7psi boost? I am interested as both sides have put up a very convincing argument and I want to know for good what the deal is.

Both sides :P theres like one guy saying it'll blow up, and saying that his blew up the day he changed it over.. No one else has recorded anything else of the sort, and the amount of people running big turboes or stock turboes on hi-boost without BOV's shows that if theres any extra wear it's very hard to notice.. It's certainly not going to cause any short term problems

      Do not ever trust ChatGPT with anything math related. They can't do math. They have no idea what it is. With enough data we can fit a decent equation in Excel, or if the available fits in Excel aren't good enough, a Matlab clone.

      You could check/calibrate that with a thermometer, we have long glass thermometers at work which go from -10 to +150°c, they are pretty cheap too I believe,  as monkey fisted soldiers tend to break them, and getting new ones don't seem to send red flags to the people that hold the purse strings Edit: after a google they apparently cost about $80, but, digital ones seem to be much cheaper at around $40

      I should have prefaced all of this with "I'd really like to not pull anything out of the car for this"

      Me, I would happly spend some more coin on better tyres for my street car  Will they work, yes, of course, but why substitute some dry grip/braking distance, and wet weather grip/braking distance on what is really old tech to save some coin on your "precious" street car In the end it might not be you that farks up, it's the thousands of other idiots on the street that you need to worry about  For a street car that gets some "fun time", I have found that a quality tyre that can handle dry, wet, cold (Canberra gets pretty cold) and hot conditions, which may costs a little more, is great insurance  From my experience with them (driving around Goulburn in the winter) the RE003's are pretty poor in cold and/or wet conditions on the street If RS4's didn't hate gripping in the cold I would be running them always on the street,  great in the dry, OK in the wet, but, they do hate the cold, with a passion, I run PS5's year round now, basically, I've found the PS5 to be a great year round street tyre for all conditions, they last well, and are mid range pricing wise TL;DR. Tyre choice is probably like what brand and grade oil you should use, ask 10 people, and get 10 different answers... LOL
