Sorry dont mean to be rude:

NA cars run with neg pressure in the plenum. This is what pulls a BOV open, therefore the BOV on a na car would be always open... This would be like punching a hole in your intake piping somewhere which would probably mess with your Air/fuel ratio's.

No performance gains to be made with this mod.

I am not 100% on the: "the BOV on a na car would be always open" call but i am pretty sure ;)

not quite right. the difference in pressure between the two side of the diaphragm or piston is what pushes the valve open. on the one side you have the boost in the intercooler pipe, on the other side you have the pressure from the manifold (post throttle) when you close the throttle pressure in the manifold drops but the pressure in the pipework is still high, the difference in pressure is great enough that boos pressure in the pipes is able to overcome the pressure of the spring.

cheers, that was kinda what I figured...

I seen the thread name "B.o.v" in the NA!!! Section of the site & just had to look & hope somebody wasn’t asking how to fit one or asking if it provides any performance gains... and...

Would fitting a blow-off valve to a non-turbo skyline provide an benefits to the performance at all?

Plus would the car build up enough pressure to produce any decent sound?

;)!! Hahahaha

Think your gona need a turbo m8 if you want to run a BOV.

Pardon the ignorance here... I have a turbo car which has the factory BOV on it atm...

Can someone please explain the imporatance of an aftermarket BOV? What are the gains to be achieved? And is it really necessary (being illegal and all)?

Thank you

Stan

Aftermarket BOVs actually increase boost & raise torque... :D

hahah Nar aftermarket BOV are usually only bought because of the noise they make but they can also serve the purpose of venting a greater amount of air to keep ur turbo spinning better if you’re running higher boost. But there's always rally style anti lag systems which work better than that in conjunction with a BOV hehehe. BANG BANG POP

For your car & many of our cars, you'd really only get one for the noise / visual appearance in engine bay... Otherwise stocky is fine.

Thanks guys

Hey geno8r, when we going for that cruise? Or even just a general meet up?

Ahh man I forgot about that... I got busy again... had some extra work coming in so been occupied... If someone organises sometime I'll be there but yeah just haven’t had time to organise anything really... If you reply to this probably best not to ‘off topic’ anymore in this thread & reply back in the other one...

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
