There is no performance gain from leaving the bov off your car.

When you remove the bov the boosted air that would normally be discharged through the bov when the throttle body is shut, now has nowhere to go, so it bounces backwards and forwards between the throttle body and the turbo wheel, which we know as "flutter". This is the same as turning your kitchen tap on full then quickly turning it off, you get reverberation in the pipes.

In low pressure situations this "flutter" can slow down the turbo wheel, in extreme situations it can stop the wheel from spinning and even undo the exhaust wheel nut.

Exhaust wheels (Turbine wheels) do not have nuts.

They are fused to the shaft, And the compressor wheel is reverse thread.

Its more likely to sheer the shaft and snap it in half which i have seen ;)

butt it sounds soooo kooooooooool

**waites patiently for anti-ricers**

lol

A Mate did that on his r34 gt-t and 30min later a friendly police man was popping the bonnet thinking he had a aftermarket BOV.

did it sound anything like the hks one?

lol...

maybe if you get an RB26, the same exhaust, the same turbo, the same everything...

as far as the actual flutter goes, it sounds the same as most fluttering....the rest of the noise is where its at....want that? get an R34 GTR and start spending

did it sound anything like the hks one?

Ive taken off my bov once before to see what the fuss was all about. I did make my car sound like that only when the turbo chokes itself on 17 pounds of boost. The noise hurts because you can feel it eating your turbo lol. It does sound like shit on the stock turbo at stock boost.

most flutters i hear pitch up....that hks one pitches down......i think it sounds mad.

but yeh.....if i ever get a 34 gtr(and i will!!!!!! some day)...ill give it a Go lol....

I hope to god you never own an R34 GTR.

Does anyone have the BOV cd? Or a cd with BOV sounds?

I don't even get a pssch, let alone flutter.

Consider yourselves lucky. I have once had a girl ask me where the "little pssch" sound was.

LOL.....damn man.......tough luck

I hope to god you never own an R34 GTR.

it seems like fewer and fewer ppl among these forums know less and less about sarcasm and jokes.......

now that i think about it i may not get a r34 gtr......dats if theres something else ill fancy in the furture.....other then taht the logical step up from a 34 gtt is the gtr :D

nehoo hey Blitz how long ago did u inspect the HKS r34 in japan?

    • Hey everyone, I recently bought myself a 2001 Nissan Stegea M35, and I've had a few issues that I had to fix, my car would start intermittently and I had a bad rocker cover leak, after a couple days of looking I finally found a part number that interchanges with the OEM starter as the OEM starters at $1300 and I can't afford that, this starter was only $270 and I replaced the start and still had the same issues, I posted a video asking for help online and it went very well, some guy said it was probably a bad ignition switch so I took my dash apart and turns out my ignition switch was half screwed in and was loose, once it was tightened it fired right up, I found a local place called "Boost factory" and they sold me a part of OEM Nissan rocker covers, they were $600 which was a shocker but I couldn't find them anywhere else, so I installed them and fixed my oil leak as the old rocker cover was cracked and warped, I now need to replace my boost air inlet hoses as they have some cracks.
    • I am being real ocd and do not want to make amy mistakes so appreciate all help provided. I am overly cautious so asking for opinion even if i know the answer   few questions,   1.re tensioner, should spring be greased lightly?    2.tensioner has two washers , one pressure washer and other has recessed/ seat. I am going to put the recessed one facing tensioner where edges are cut out and pressure washer on top   3. my car has custom triger kit sold few years ago by guy who initially built the engine. I moved the crank gear and it moved in and out easy, only way to remove belt is to slide the crankshaft gear forward which I did. I have seen these being very tough to move , anything to do with my woodruff key?   it has a crank sensor shown in purple which I assume reads from the 12 teeth position mounted to the crankcase gear   4. timing belt doesn鈥檛 have arrow stating front or back just a arrow which I think is direction of rotation . Do you agree?   5.i figured out why my crankcase cover was worn as there was no washer installed over the crankcase cover before the harmonic balancer was put in place. It is missing, anyone knows the part number? It looks like this https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-crankshaft-timing-gear-rear-plate-washer-nissan-s13-ca18-a31-r32-rb20-r33-r34-c33-c34-c35-rb25?currency=USD   https://tinypic.host/image/IMG-4535.382Zy2 https://tinypic.host/image/IMG-4537.382dSz https://tinypic.host/image/IMG-4534.382q4U  
    • CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it. 
    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
