Well guys, I have just removed the Pepsi can gasket from underneath my BOV. While it was blocked off I noticed that boost came on much harder and also faster in between gear changes. I tested this on stock boost with the factory solenoid controlled by the ECU and also with the solenoid grounded running straight 7psi. On both settings there were absolutely no idle/stalling issues. I only drove about 10KM as I do not want to find out how reliable this setup is.

It sounded fulleh sik but also made the car more responsive on boost and also quicker to get there.

Is there anyone else who has run their factory RB25 S2 turbo without a BOV for a lengthy period of time who can report on reliability?

Haha I used Coke :(

Yeah the turbo will be fine, even at 10psi or higher without a BOV there would be no damage. I think people start thinking stuff in there head and panic, when theres nothing to worry about.

Are you gonna keep the fully sick setup?

Yeah i have the stall problem sometimes, do you know what it is caused from?

Ive done about 1000km

:(

Aside from making you a hectic bro - I have found that it has made my car more responsive, keep in mind that it is a genuine low kays S2 33 gts and i am running stock boost with a blitz pod and 3" cat back otherwise standard.

lol!

Im guessing you havent read the last 14 pages :(

Putting some metal or a coke can under the BOV blocks it off from the intercooler pipe. Then you just block off the tube that runs from the manifold to the BOV and you will get Fully Sick Flutter.

If you want details or instructions just PM me :(

Ah if u can fit it in the gap, it won't do a whole lot, the can wil probably get shaken up and will eventually de-carbonate, it won't cool it down either, your best bet is the fridge

haha i didnt understand any of that?? :(:woot::(

haha!! Nice

Nah he doesnt mean a full can :(

Gotta cut the can out to be the shape of the BOV. Put it in like its a seal and it will block up the hole.

The small tube which runs to the top of the BOV - Unplug that from the BOV and block it up (screw or something)

Would you like a diagram? :(

Just curious y did u block the tube off?

Just that i didn't think it would matter, it's only for pressure regulation (i think ) and as it's not getting any pressure i'd think it wouldnt make any difference whether blocked off or not. Correct me if im wrong but air only goes into the manifold nothing goes the other way right? (which i probably am not)

And na u shouldnt need to block the plumbback as it's not getting any air to it either

Nah the Plumb Back is fine, ive left all of that still on.

When I left the manifold tube unblocked my car wouldnt boost properly and was holding back, felt really bad!

Im pretty sure the tube is a vacuum which opens the BOV when you take your foot off.

What have u done with your manifold tube? did you leave yours in the BOV? I guess that would work the same if the BOV wasnt opening. Hmm might have to try, but yeah had a few boost problems with that pipe.

Yeh i just left mine on BOV,

Only reason im asking is coz im lazy and if i decide im sick of flutterz i want it to be easy to switch back

"Im pretty sure the tube is a vacuum which opens the BOV when you take your foot off"

Yeh thats what i meant, wasn't thinking of what i was typing lol

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
