Yeah looks like the more boost gave it a tad more power. But nevertheless, its more consistant aswell, which is important! It looks like your running a bleeder.. is that true?

Turbosmart e-Boost EBC. The fluctuations in the boost curve are more to do with the Microtech MAP sensor reading the natural pressure spikes that occur in the inlet manifolds of engines, these spikes are usually not seen, i.e. smoothed out with boost guages.

IOne question I do have though, some people have mentioned that doing this mod takes away the linear feel of the throttle.  Does that mean that everyone that has a after market BOV that plumbs back get's the same results??  I've never used one so I wouldn't know.

YES. It sure does. With my aftermarket BOV, on seperate pipe, and I have the stocker blocked off with a plate, it makes boost hit harder!

If sometimes changing gears just as you hit boost, it is quite a big thud of the disengaging of my clutch (it's a ceramic one) and I can notice that the car just hit boost "right then" when I changed.

If that makes any sense ;)

I for one, will be keeping my BOV mod for when I go to the drags :(

  • 2 weeks later...

have any people experienced problems?? I mean going by whats involved there shouldnt be ANY dramas at all. Ive done this mod and really like it. Ive gotten to the stage now where i have forgotten ive even done it. Thanx heaps for sharing information about this mod, its well worth the 5 mins it takes to do :cheers:

Blocking the hole should in effect make boost come on quicker and hold higher boost.

the s15 stock BOV has a hole in the middle of the piston to allow blow by where as the R33 stock bov has that little whole.

I would in fact use some loctite just in case, however when installing it back in the surrounding pressure will hold it in place as long as the screw/nail is flat it will seal correctly.

I was considering doing a similar thing, however went the whole hog of installing a GFB stealth...

I've done this mod for nearly a year now.

Response has improved noticeably.

Well worth the 5mins work IMO :D

Ed - thanks for your input, good to see it works on the R34 (RB25det Neo) as well as it works on the R33's.

I have done both mods listed here.

Screw: positives - different sound,

negatives- causes surge at part throttle, reduces boost ramp speed from part throttle to full throttle, actually holds less boost due to more vacuum present on back of BOV piston.

Dodge mod: positives- diferent sound, holds up to 30psi due to less pressure difference between both piston sides.

negatives- causes slight surge at part throttle and reduces part throttle to full throotle boost up time.

I have tried both mods.

The screw mod causes surge at part throttle and increases boost up time from part throttle to full throttle(due to no air being bleed through at part throttle opening). Also actually holds less boost than standard due to more vacuum being present on the back of the BOV piston.

The Dodge site mod causes slight surge at part throttle, holds up to 30psi boost due to less pressure difference between both piston sides. Also increases part throttle to full throttle boost up time.

Cool - thanks for that.

With the little pipe thing, did you just leave it to vent into the air ??

Do you think it would cause any problems venting into the air, as air would pass out the pipe when the BOV opens. Maybe the small amount of air that it'd be wouldn't cause the problems that the ext venting BOV's cause.

I suppose if you got really fussy you could plumb the little pipe thing back into the return pipe for the BOV ??

If I get bored one day I might give it a try.

Boostd, in your first post you said the dodge method decreases part throttle to full throttle boost up time, in your second it said increases part throttle to full throttle boost up time, i assume you mean the latter.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
