No Cost Mod R-34

[Bass Junky]

Hey ppls.

Just playing with my new toy on the weekend, waiting for an Air pod.

I noticed that the R-34 GT-T air box has a sound deadening pad on the top on the inside.

I made the lightning fast decision to rip it out, and I now have a little more turbo noise, and I can now hear the standard blow off valve wokring.

It's in no way a performance mod, but for those who want the sounds, its not bad for zero dollars and about 2 minutes work.

a better mod is to block off the bleeder hole on the factory BOV.

[Bass Junky]

How do you do it, and what effect does it make??

BASS OUT

[ed]

do a search

[Bass Junky]

Keyword search hints??

All I can find is stuff about which bov to use and whether they effect air fuel ratios...

Yeah, like Bass junky asks, what is the function of that hole?

any side effects of this trick?

[dan_the_man]

bass out?

[WazR32GTSt]

yeah what's the deal with "bass out"?

[TTT]

the mod that ed displayed is great.

boost comes on a little stronger and it doesn't constantly release at cruising speeds.

the sounds changes slightly when you take your foot off the pedal fast like between gearchanges.

instead of a shhhhhhh sound, it is more like a ka-tshhhh..

I did it a while ago and never had issues.

oh that air box pad is also in the R32's if anyone wanted to know.

[ed]

not too sure what the bleeder hole is for...I *think* it's to bleed off boost so the boost comes on smoothly instead of a bang.

[pushead]

wasn't there a huge thread about stock bov blocking the hole? I recall from that thread that some poeple experience better boost no leaks when blocking off the stock bov hole, others had doubt saying why nissan put a hole for reasons, don't know dude, do a search on 'stock bov'?

Hey ppls,

Well I did thi slittl emod the other day and found that boost response was improved, but unfortunately it was raingin at the time, so all fun was hampered by bulk wheelspin.

Today however, driving back form the airport, there was no rain and I can say that I am quite happy with the mod.

I used a grub screw into the hole after tapping straight into the aluminium, therefore I can remove it at any time.

Oh, and the BASS OUT thing is like the OVER AND OUT but my own personal little one. More of a remnant other internet forums which I have been a party to, and thereofre it just caries over.

So,

BASS OUT
