everything to do with doseing is a myth......everything that says its bad for the turbo is all theoretical. theres no actual proof that doseing (exsessive compressor surge) will shortn ur turbo life, i know many vls dosing day in day out at 18+psi and still survive longer then many skylines.

bring on the flaming but i think dosing sounds awsome.....not the dolphin dosing though.

this kind.

ignore the title cuz americans dont know f*kn shit. they think any sound from the engine comes from a HKS SSQ LOL

its damn physics dude u spin something 100,000 rpm one way then reverse it in a second when its on bushings or bearings...... DUH its gonna do damage!

show us the proof then.

i have had many many engines over the years (non have blown up... i just have had a lot of cars) out of them only 1 had a BOV (my rb20) i do a lot of competition drift, and as yet have NEVER HAD A TURBO FAILURE from running no bov. I find that no bov makes for a much more responsive set up then having a bov.

the maths/physics says it bad, but wheres ther hard proof??

i have a turbonetics turbo i have not had a blow off valve working and i was running 14p the bearings r noisy and the turbo has heaps of shaft play ive had it on the car for 20000kms i see this as proof for me

many thanks and a very big thumbs up!

i have no hard proofe i just have common sence that all things wear eventually and turbos are one of those things... the principals behind a plumb back blow of valve help to keep forward momentum of the turbo and vent air to the intake to await throttle and spool up.....

no bov means backwards momentum (backspin) creating that dv tu tu tu tu noise because the air has on where else to go which means it would create more lag for the turbo to create forward momentum again.

this is my thoughts of common sence and theory anyway. tell me otherwise.

You are loading up the trust bearings on the turbo plenty. If other things fail before the turbo does that doesn't mean you aren't wearing it out faster or that there isn't instances of catestrophic failures in short periods. Turbo's that cop the abuse are doing so because they make them pretty well these days, not because there's no harm.

It's safe to assume turbo manufacturers know what they are talking about and we mere mortals don't.

From a Turbo Manufacturer (Garrett) website, one of a few refferences made on that site about the strain not having one introduces;

Blow-Off (Bypass) Valves

The Blow-Off valve (BOV) is a pressure relief device on the intake tract to prevent the

turbo’s compressor from going into surge. The BOV should be installed between the

compressor discharge and the throttle body, preferably downstream of the charge air

cooler (if equipped). When the throttle is closed rapidly, the airflow is quickly reduced,

causing flow instability and pressure fluctuations. These rapidly cycling pressure

fluctuations are the audible evidence of surge. Surge can eventually lead to thrust

bearing failure due to the high loads associated with it.

Blow-Off valves use a combination of manifold pressure signal and spring force to detect

when the throttle is closed. When the throttle is closed rapidly, the BOV vents boost in

the intake tract to atmosphere to relieve the pressure; helping to eliminate the

phenomenon of surge.

Here's an interesting one about compressor surge in general;

Surge is most commonly experienced when one of two situations exist. The first and most damaging is

surge under load. It can be an indication that your compressor is too large. Surge is also commonly

experienced when the throttle is quickly closed after boosting. This occurs because mass flow is drastically

reduced as the throttle is closed, but the turbo is still spinning and generating boost. This immediately drives

the operating point to the far left of the compressor map, right into surge.

Surge will decay once the turbo speed finally slows enough to reduce the boost and move the operating point

back into the stable region. This situation is commonly addressed by using a Blow-Off Valves (BOV) or bypass

valve. A BOV functions to vent intake pressure to atmosphere so that the mass flow ramps down smoothly,

keeping the compressor out of surge. In the case of a recirculating bypass valve, the airflow is recirculated

back to the compressor inlet.

    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
    • Doing a refresh of my 33 and can see a few websites stating they sell the entire main carpet for our cars, but they all have generic photos which is fine, i understand they are custom made to order.  Just seeing if anyone has got it done or had any experience with this, as i would only want to do it if the fit and finish was as good as oem https://carmatsdirect.com.au/products/moulded-carpet-or-vinyl-for-nissan-skyline-r33-1993-1998-coupe https://knoxautocarpets.com.au/moulded-carpets/nissan/skyline/skyline-r-33-1993-1998/
    • Any plans for E85? If so, add flex fuel sensor.   I'd probably add in the sensors I mentioned above if the Link will support using them for engine protection. With water pressure, you need to be able to effectively set it that "If temp > X, and pressure = atmospheric, shutdown" as at running temp, you should be able to read pressure in the cooling system. If pressure suddenly disappears, it means the water went some where, and this is a quicker reaction than waiting on water temp to go up (Which, can take a little longer than you'd like, considering it now has to wait for hot air to heat it up) Oil pressure, Oil temp, both would be on my list too if you're looking to add sensors. Wideband O2. And at least one EGT sensor. If you're feeling deluxe, put in individual runner EGTs. Single EGT sensor is more so forget about a specific number, get used to "What is normal EGTs", and then keep an eye on it, if it starts going away from "normal" it's a sign something is wrong (Also, things like the tune can still start going out of spec, but EGTs may not show it, for example one injector starts running leaning, so ECU richens everything up, now 5 out of 6 cylinders are rich, and running cool, with one cylinder lean and running hotter, so it's not perfect) Then there is your other things to look at non sensor related, but you may have already done, or have underway, and that would be things like building a sump for more oil, and better oil control under high G-Forces (Cornering, brakes, acceleration). Basically, the above is worth looking/thinking about, if the ECU can do protective stuff with it, and you continue to use it how you are (Drive it to the track, thrash it, drive home, repeat once every 3 to 4 months)
    • Can also confirm these work a treat for most balljoints and bushes. If you have access to a big rattle gun, they make the job so much easier and quicker, compared to using a socket wrench or shifter on the c-clamp 👍
    • Its sort of street but got used for circuit sprints on account of I never drive it on the road because I dont have the time to spare. So it usage was sits around for months at a time then gets driven either 50 or 250 kms to the track followed by 20 laps followed by 50 or 250kms home followed by stuck in the shed until next time. So yeah neither fish nor fowl. Just dont want to break it on the track as a preference. Hence the fairly short sensor/mod list. Probably more worried about it pinging itself to destruction more so than anything oil related.
