1.) the sound it will make is not the same as the SR20 powered cars.

it is similar but not the same.

on the SR20's, that noise is caused even though they have the stock plumb back bov attached.

the return line of the S15 and S15's isn't large enough so once you increase boost a little bit, you start hearing that "DO DO DO" sound you described so well.

I can show you this in my car if you are in sydney.

The sound the skyline's make with no bov is more like a rattle snake.. like "trrrrrrrrrrr"

However, once you get a FMIC, the sound changes once again.

2.) Yes you need to block off the vacuum line as well.

a screw will do for that.

3.) Wether this damages the turbo is a whole other story.

there is no real evidence that it does or doesn't.

I know the theory of what happens with no bov all too well so no need to tell me.

Everyone has their own story/theory of what no bov will do or not do.

I don't feel the need to add mine as I have done it too many times and people obviously don't know how to search.

I'll add 2 things though.

1.) I had an ex rally car. it was a 88 Laser TX3 turbo. 1.6L

hi flow turbo.

was putting out 120kw at the front wheels when I disengaged the rears.

this thing was rallied for 50,000kms and I had it for about 20,000kms on the road.

the stock bov was removed.

it was running 1 Bar boost for the whole time, fluttering away on each gear change.

never had any turbo problems..

many others but no turbo ones.

2.) I chose to run the stock bov on my current car and even when I had my skyline for the simple reason that the car worked/works better.

it idles better, it doesn't jerk when you back off from throttle slowly..

it just runs smoother.

Even though my current S14 runs 1 bar boost and on anything above 5psi, it will flutter, normal driving on the road where you are on and off the throttle slowly rather than fast and harsh like on a track, the car behaves better.

up to you what you want.

I personally wouldn't go with no bov and my reasons are above.

if you want the "LOOK AT ME" thing, then go right ahead.

From what i understand and what others are saying its not a bov your after. Like the other guy said about taking the stock bov off and clogging the hole. This is actually bad for your turbo. That sound your askin for is compressor surge. When the throttle body closes all the boost built up has no where to go since u have no bov so it throws it back through the turbo making the chh chhhh chhhhh sound. Definately not recommend man.

I personally have a HKS SSQ BOV - it makes a very nice SSHHHTTTT sound... not too loud which is wankie pankie in my opinion... bu you do need a bit of a let off sound as it' a turbo... I have an apexi power flow pod, fmic and a hks ssq - all three work in harmony and you get a SSHHHETTTTTFFF tu tu tu sound which is capped off with a fluttering sound which is tough as ... I reckon this is style... so yeah, my hats off to the HKS SSQ - if you do go for this, get that latest model as the older ones tend to affect your air flow metre and can be troublesome.

Cheers,

The fine for an atmospheric BOV is

"Undue noise" $240 in QLD and 3 points

So if you get a quiet one you will be right. I had a turbo smart maximus the biggest they make on my old skyline and everytime i let off i had people on the foot path jump and other cars look and stare so i got rid of it.... HKS SSQV is the only way to go now...

yeah i use an apexi power d1 intake pod with a HKS ssq BOv n i get the nice flutter sound however i have alloy piping which helps a little, but it not to wanky.

i didn't know that was the penalty!! $240 & 3 points!!! wow :)

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
