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.

    • They are what I will be installing. 640s for me.
    • Hmm... From my experience you get about 0.25° camber change per mm of RUCA length change. So, to correct from -2.5 up to less than -1° (or, more than -1° if you look at the world as a mathematician does) then you'd be making 6-8mm of length change on the RUCA. From a stock length of 308mm, that's 2-2.5% difference in RUCA length. My RUCAs are currently very close to stock length - certainly only 2-3mm different from stock. I had to adjust my tension arms by 6mm to minimise the bump steer. That's 6mm out of 210, which is 2.8%. That's a 2.8% change on those, compared to a <1% change on the RUCAs. So the stock geometry already has worse bump steer than is possible - you can improve it even if you don't change the RUCA length. If you lengthen the RUCAs at all, then you will definitely be adding bump steer. Again, with my car, I recently had an unpleasant amount of bump steer, stemming from a number of things that happened one after another without me having an opportunity to correct for them. I only had to change the tension arm lengths by 1mm to minimise the resulting bump steer. (Granted, I also had to dial out a lot of extra toe-in in the rear, and excessive rear toe-in will make bump steer behaviour worse). Relatively tiny little adjustments having been made - the car is now completely different. Was horrifying how much it wanted to steer from the rear on any significant single wheel bump/dip. And it was even bad on expansion joints on long sweepers on freeway entry/exits, which are notionally hitting both rear wheels at the same time. My point is, the crappy Nissan multilink is quite sensitive to these things (unlike the very nice Toyota suspension!). And I think 99.75% of Skyline owners are blissfully ignorant of what they are driving around on. Sadly, it is a non-trivial exercise to set up to measure and correct bump steer. I am happy to show my rig, which involves nasty chunks of wood bolted to the hub, mirrors, lasers, graph paper targets and other horrors. Just in case anyone wants to see how it is done. I'll just have to set it up to take the photos.
    • What do you have in that bad boy ? Ill go with the 725cc since I'll be going with Nistune ( would definitely like more engine protection but Haltech is too far out of reach at the moment... plus, Ill probably have a pretty safe tune as its a daily, not gonna be chasing peak power 24/7 ahahah ). Are Xspurt a safe choice?  Pete's great. He didnt mention anything about traction arm length so I reckon it may be good. When I get some new wheels/tire later down the road I'll ask him about it and get his opinion on em. I heard from Gary that you've got the bilsteins too, are you running the sway bars too? and what other suspension goodies do you have installed or would recommend?
