Is your BOV an after market BOV? If so, generally just twisting the big coloured bit on the top ... usually blue or purple ... in the direction that says "loosen" on the top .. will loosen the spring to make it open at lower boost.

If it doesnt tell you which wat to turn it ... the instructions will ... failing that just test it ... try twisting one way, then try another way....

I can check mine tonight if you want, most will twist the same way. Do you know the brand/model of the BOV?

immortal.

well then it should have a sticker on it to say which way to loosen and which way to tighten.

anyway, it should be anti clockwise for loosening (soft setting)

you could have gone to the www.turbosmart.com.au site and looked at their products and found this picture..

anyway..

not your bov but all turbo smart bovs adjust the same way.

1. turn it 3 whole revolutions (1 revolution = 360 degs) anticlockwise.

(anticlockwise = the side away from you when you hold it goes to the left, the opposite to what the hands on a clock do)

2. Put the Auto into 1st gear, Drive it 400m down a straight road giving it bursts to exactly 4500rpm and see if it opens goes "pssht~"

If its still not doing what you want it to, then repeat step 1 and 2 again.

If you loosen it too much the top will spring off the BOV and you gotta screw it back on again. Its not difficult if that hapens.

    • Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell 
    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
