hey guys, like the majority of you, after having my blitz bov for a few weeks, ive began to get really annoyed with that ***tty sound. i was thinking of taking the bov of and runnin the car without one. (dunno what happened to my stock one). would the car still run fine and safe?. ive got a s1 r33gtst with just a turbo back exhaust and a blitz pod on stock boost. would i begin to get that loud fluttering sound if i take it of (not a vl tutut fan). also in the near future im getting a front mount and winding the boost up to 10psi. would i be doin any harm to the turbo runnin on 10psi with no bov at all? is there anything else recommended to upgrade on my car to run 10psi safely all day long.

any help would be appreciated

dude, you can't not have a BOV or Bypass Valve (which is what the stock one is.) If you cap it off You'll Sh#t your turbo!! If you just leave it disconnected, you'll have one hell of a boost leak. Find a stock one and put it back on, someone on here will have one for you, at a small fee ofcourse. As for running 10psi you'll be alright if you're tuning is up to snuff.

the car will run a little rougher than with the stock bov and could stall occasionally.

Yes you will get that sound.

also in the near future im getting a front mount and winding the boost up to 10psi. would i be doin any harm to the turbo runnin on 10psi with no bov at all? is there anything else recommended to upgrade on my car to run 10psi safely all day long.

Here's a recommendation.

look in parts for sale section and buy a stock bov for $20

save you a lot of hassles.

Not another bov vs no bov thread.

Your car will be fine, It may stall after a big lift off if you have a really short intake pipe, it will be a little slower coming on boost between gear changes. For those reasons alone i would install a plumb back bov but it isn't essencial.

I am yet to see one of these damaged turbos as a result of running no bov, i have never been told by a tuner/mechanic/workshop that i should install a bov because i'll kill my turbo, I've yet to kill a turbo by running no bov. Can someone please provide some evidence that no bov is pure death for turbos so that when ever someone asks this question we can post a link that shows a comp wheel with no blades and say "see"?

Then whenever someone in a mirage drives past and has some massive wheels and even bigger flutter we can all smirk even more.

    • Yes the gear for the R33/34 is different, it is red and has a different number of teeth. My part didn't come with that gear though, so I don't know how many teeth are on the red one. You'd have to reuse the 260RS/R33 gear, as long as it's not destroyed.   Haha, as unfortunate as that might be it was working fine for about the first 1500km I've had the car for now.
    • Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.    
    • Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old
    • Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.
