Bov On An Auto Skyline?

Has anyone got an atmo blow off valve on their auto skyline? Many people roll eyes at the thought on an auto as atmo BOV goes off when manually changing gears as you step off the gas pedal... should this be with auto too? Gas it, step off the pedal, out comes the "vrooom choo" sound. I know many auto VLs have BOV that sound pretty good.

Sorry about the wanky topic but I just want some info from people who did have it done.

Cheers. :thumbsup:

I'm a wanker so I think I'm well placed to aswer this one :thumbsup:

The blowoff doesn't work when the gears change in an A/T, just when you step off the gas. It doesn't work because you're not required to step off the gas during gearchanges (duh!)...

So the only way for it to work is to drive 'attention whore' style and: speed up > step off > f*ckin whoosh! > every girl within earshot turns around and lifts their skirt in your direction.

I love it when 'tards in turbo cars time their gearchanges or step off the throttle as they go past alfresco cafes and the like... it makes having a blowoff valve one of the key things that makes you a MAN... well. that and a pair of testicles :)

mate...

an atuomatic turbo car differs from the manual in that it has an automatic transmission

THE ENGINE IS THE SAME

so, yes, they have a bov and it makes the same sound under the same condition that a manual does..

as rezz said, this is not during gear changes as you don't take your foot off the accelerator when changing gears, but whatever makes the manual car release the bov is the same in the auto

i hate the misconception that automatic skylines have all these differences just because they have an automatic box hooked up instead of a manual...

i want one of thse skirt raising BOV for my auto :P

Yeah so do I! And to think all this time I've been missing out on all those ladies! I've noticed the whole BOV whoosh as cars pass alfresco cafes as well, I can't think of any such cafe in Perth that I've been to where I haven't heard them. It all adds to the atmosphere of an authentic outdoor dining experience. :(

lol werd.

guy who started the topic, ive got a blitz type s one on mine ( came with the car ) makes the whole "psssccchh" deal when backing off the accelerator... like waz said... same engines, only time it wont make the noise is gear changes... obviously. the turbo etc works the same otherwise.

I have a G-Reddy Type-S on my auto R33 and paired with the HKS pod and FMIC its an aural feast when driving.. :(

I get the pssscht sound when I let of the throttle quickly and I get the sexy flutter sound when I let it off slow (real good at making people look). Along with this I have a FMIC which further amplifies the BOV noises (especially the flutter).

Yes it is very very wank but I love the noise. Just be smart and don't let it off when police are nearby.

Also atmo bovs may give you stalling dramas.

      From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 馃槩

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.

      Oil pan for RB25DET NEO Stagea "version"

      meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
