Looking to contert my GTR to run a single BOV instead of the pair, does anyone know if this is possible, plausible??? Does anyone make a kit for this or has someone done one to give me a head start?? Havent really had a look behind there yet, any help would be appreciated.

the stock ones are the best. end of story.

if you just want the noise : then any workshop with a welder could do it for you.

a bov regardless of type can hold infinate boost. if hooked up corectly. "pascals law" lol

if its got boost presure trying to open it. its got the SAME boost pushing on the other side keeping it shut! aswell as whatever the spring tension is aswell. so its imposible for it to leak physicly.

unless the seat area is worn obvoiusly

i tryed 2 hks ssq ones and they didnt work for shit. well they did work. but the amount of compressor surge i was getting was retarded.

the greddy type R kit for GTR replaces the whole stock assembly with 1 BOV. the stock ones are fine. having said that I run twin Blitz ones (to atmo) on my GTR and have no stalling, no idle problems, no compressor surge. And it's running AFMs and a PFC (standard version). So I dont quite know what all the fuss is about?

What improvement did you notice when you changed from the standard BOV's?

:rofl: cheers :P

i never said there was any improvment, gary. :) In fact in my post I said the stock ones are fine. I was just pointing out that I've had zero problems running twin, atmo BOVs. and the reason they are there is they were already fitted to the car when I bought it. If it had had stock ones they would still be there, BUT I'm not going to pull off something that works perfectly well (and sounds cool!) to return to stock. just because other people have problems I've yet to experience either with the stock ECU or the PFC.

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
