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.

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
