Hey hows it going guys,

I was wondering, when seeing my mates cefiro motor it doesnt seem to have a stock blow off valve and when you change gears it flutters. Now if you look at my r32 its got a stock bov and when u change gears you can here the bov going off, no flutter.

You guys probably have your different opinions on this but its about blocking the stock bov on the r32.

Now it comes down to my question if both cars have a the RB20 does that mean, because the cefiro hasnt got a bov the stock turbo is gonna give up quicker? Cos isnt this chopping or fluttering sound bad for ur stock ceramic turbo? If it is alright for the cefiro to not have a bov would it be alright for a r32 to have its bov removed? If any one can shead some light on this area it would be much appreciated.

Didnt nissan put a stock bov on it for a reason, to protect the turbo from that back pressure then causing the flutter sound? why dont cefiros have a bov?

This has had me baffled for quite a while now, what do u guys think then?

Cheers.

ps. sorry about all the questions.

I doubt the fact you say they are classed as a "luxury" car is a warrant for not having one. If anything it would be the opposite.

Think of a typical luxury car owner and there shock when they heard the sound of flutter! They would be back at the dealer in no time saying something is wrong.

I have a HR31 GTSR, far from luxury and it has no bov from factory. None of the R31 RB20s had bovs. What years were the ceffy and laurels produced?

Maybe it was an emission thing to fit bovs later on? No BOV would have the breather gasses ( dirty oily air) venting to atmo through the filter.

    • Took it to all Japan day. Thrashed it all day and it will still drive home. Very very happy man right now 
    • Hey Nismo, any chance in the world you still have these seats?
    • I'd say closer to OG GTX3582R, just smaller trim - so 59mm inducer/82mm exducer as opposed to 62/82 for the first gen GTX3582R. Yeah EFRs were boss, the EFR8474 is still an absolute beast and it perplexes me that people still go to things like Turbosmart/Garrett etc when the results people are getting with those are pretty unremarkable compared to what you could get with a turbo available well before those options came out.  DriftSquid (I think) "upgraded" from an EFR9174 to a Turbosmart turbo and promised a comparison video - and kinda shuffled awkwardly and did a bit of diversion from the fact that they didn't get any improvement going to the currently massively hyped brand of turbo from a turbo that was a bit of a frankenstein that had been well superceded in it's own range before the Turbosmart unit he put on there even came out. I suspect the EFR would outperform most Xonas for what a lot of less-insane RB owners would go for, in the 400-600kw range but the Xonas are looking hard to beat up to maybe in the mid 700kw range at this stage- basically where EFRs don't really reach, and before the Precision turbos take over.  What the Xonas do well in the "EFR range" is be easier to package etc, and work very well if a divided housing doesn't suit your application.  
    • Are you sure the gasket is blown? What are the issues? Thermocure is the only flush I've seen do anything with rust, very impressed with that, Prestone, rust will be by the pool having a cigarette.  
    • And since the flush you have a blown head gasket? Have you lifted the head off yet?
