So what this mod would do is simply keep the bov from opening which allows for no boost leaking from the BOV.
this mod will just stop it from leaking which will make the car feel stronger.

Shift Lock there's your explanation for your seat of the pants improvement.

Thats the reason why it feels like it's running more boost.

exactly. i highly doubt that a stock bov will be leaking out 7psi of boost (dropping it from 14 to 7). if it was the car would run like absolute arse, cause it would be dumping massive amounts of fuel through. you would use a tank of fuel every 150kms.

why would it run rich, thats the entire idea of a recirc bov, the air even if it was leaking goes back into the plumbing before turbo but after the air flow meter, so its not likes its measured twice or anything.

because the pressure is equalised on each side of the bov diaphragm thanks to the rubber hose that connects to the plenum I can't see why it would be open in normal use anyway, regardless of spring tension.

maybe this guy meant the wastegate actuator, not the bov?

how much more of a moron does this guy want to look like?

"crushing" the stock bov is an old/crude way of allowing it to "HOLD" more boost.

Mitsubishi 4G owners have been doing this for years.

and that is because they have the same bov..

have you noticed that your bov has 3 diamonds on it?

it didn't "increase" the boost... what you are feeling in your well calibrated arse dyno is how your car would have driven when brand spankers.

Another way to do the same thing is to remove the bov completely.

no bov means no leak.

another way again is to take off the stock bov and seal the "small" hole on the underside of it.

NOW..

it's been one day, and you should have installed yyour boost gauge.

why don't you come back on here now and "LIE" to us about how your car is making 14psi uleh and that everything else is stock and that your "NISMO" mate was right.

then we can point out that 14psi on stock r33 would not work because of this that and the other.

I'm going to go get something to eat so I can eat while I laugh at you..

nice first thread.

maybe this guy meant the wastegate actuator, not the bov?

Highly doubt it. He knows what a HKS SSQV is and said he'd use one he bought if he broke the stock bov.

but doing it to the actuator would open the wastegate earlier rather than later. if you squashed it too far you would actually open the wastegate slightly.

What if you squashed the back of the actuator where the spring is to compress it, wouldn't that work? Highly bodge job though.

    • Very nice - I also have a 92 GTST and hardly see any others around these days
    • When I need something else to edit, I use Movavi. A friend who does video editing on a daily basis recommended me) it's an easy video cutter to use for beginners
    • I need to edit some videos for work but I'm not good at all this. Which video editor can you recommend?
    • I think you're really missing the point. The spec is just the minimum spec that the fuel has to meet. The additive packages can, and do, go above that minimum if the fuel brand feels they need/want to. And so you get BP Ultimate or Shell Ultra (or whatever they call it) making promises to clean your engine better than the standard stuff....simply because they do actually put better additive packages in there. They do not waste special sauce on the plebian fuel if they can avoid it. I didn't say "energy density". I just said "density". That's right, the specific gravity (if you want to use a really shit old imperial description for mass per unit volume). The density being higher indicates a number of things, from reduces oxygen content, to increased numbers of double bonds or cyclic components. That then just happens to flow on to the calorific value on a volume basis being correspondingly higher. The calorific value on a mass basis barely changes, because almost all hydrocarbon materials have a very similar CV per kg. But whatever - the end result is that you do get a bit more energy per litre, which helps to offset some of the sting of the massive price bump over 91. I can go you one better than "I used to work at a fuel station". I had uni lecturers who worked at the Pt Stanvac refinery (at the time they were lecturing, as industry specialist lecturers) who were quite candid about the business. And granted, that was 30+ years ago, and you might note that I have stated above that I think the industry has since collected together near the bottom (quite like ISPs, when you think about it). Oh, did I mention that I am quite literally a combustion engineer? I'm designing (well, actually, trying to avoid designing and trying to make the junior engineer do it) a heavy fuel oil firing system for a cement plant in fricking Iraq, this week. Last week it was natural gas fired this-that. The week before it was LPG fired anode furnaces for a copper smelter (well, the burners for them, not the actual furnaces, which are just big dumb steel). I'm kinda all over fuels.
    • Well my freshly rebuilt RB25DET Neo went bang 1000kms in, completely fried big end bearing in cylinder 1 so bad my engine seized. No knocking or oil pressure issue prior to this happening, all happened within less than a second. Had Nitto oil pump, 8L baffled sump, head drain, oil restrictors, the lot put in to prevent me spinning a bearing like i did to need the rebuild. Mechanic that looked after the works has no idea what caused it. Reckoned it may have been bearing clearance wrong in cylinder 1 we have no idea. Machinist who did the work reckoned it was something on the mechanic. Anyway thats between them, i had no part in it, just paid the money Curiosity question, does the oil system on RB’s go sump > oil pump > filter > around engine? If so, if you had a leak on an oil filter relocation plate, say sump > oil pump > filter > LEAK > around engine would this cause a low oil pressure reading if the sensors was before the filter?   TIA
