As stated above, i want to know what will happen to the turbo *if anything* if i remove the stock BOV and block up the pipes it carries.

As far as im aware the RB20DET that comes in the cefiro does not have a BOV stock. (Can someone confirm or deny this)

Will it shorten the life of the turbo? cause damage to fins etc etc? Can it snap the exhaust wheel off?

I have a front mount, SAFC II, fuel pump, 3" turbo back.

Anyone?

yeh, like he said, it's not easy to prove for or against, but i mean, many cars block em and last for ages.. Blocking mine stopped the surging i was experiencing in between gear changes.. only problem is the noise, but it's not very audible with stock box on

realistically it'll probably cut your turbo life by about 10 minutes.

YEah doubt itll do much i dont have one and my car is an auto so its always got full boost when it goes through the gears still no damage no end play everything excellent was worried about it when i bought mine but after reading a few threads on SAU couldnt find any thing that made me think i should put one on post-30197-1169037152.jpg

I have a RB20DET and blocked off the standard BOV. It worked really well, sounded good and gear changing felt quicker. Although it started to stall on me every now and then. Revs would just drop down when i changed gears, was very werid. When i put the stock BOV back on car worked fine again. Anyone know why this would happen?

Thanks :laugh:

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!

      That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect

      It's about time I start work on my sun tan. So I knocked up a few parts that will all combine together to become my new power steering reservoir. Now just to produce an abundance of UV and IR rays while melting a heap of bits of alu to become one... Well, that's after I put one more hole in it for the return line to plumb to. It likely won't be this weekend, as Sunday I'm meant to be in doing some last minute stuff to the AMG race car, and the weekend after will be filled with non my Skyline stuff, followed by Bathurst 6 hour. So I don't expect to get to melt metal for at least 3 weeks.   I also managed to stuff up and start cutting the hole for the res to pump pipe on the wrong side of the line... It means instead of the lines being nice and tight against the inner guard, they'll be out off the guard.    The size of it means I should end up with about 1.8L of power steering fluid, and still have space for another half a litre before it reaches the overflow/breather. This is wayyyyyyy more capacity than factory, which should help keep Powersteer oil temps lower, and the design hopefully allows it to prevent any aerated oil being able to makes its way down to the bottom as it'll have a couple of baffles and some hopeful trickery to force air bubbles away from the bottom.
