i think you should keep the stock bov and throw the police attention siren in the bin.... or sell it

stock bovs are fine.... mine has held 21psi for a couple of years now

moving the AFM too close to the turbos compressor intake can and most likely will cause you problems. yes it's possible to mount it somewhere else in the intercooler piping but with a standard ecu you may have some problems. trust me, nissan mounted it as far away from the turbo intake as possible for a reason, it was just so you'd have an easy way to bolt on a pod filter...

Yer I've seen that clip before , so there's a ok surge and a bad surge.. So If I relocate the afm on the cool side of the intercooler would It work the same ? I want to get little bit of dose :D

Jeez I dont like this...

Compressor surge is a bad thing FULL STOP - I dont care how many guys have said they are running no BOVs with fully sick dose's and their turbos are fine, its not good.

Why do you need to stuff around with what Nissan engineers did for a reason? Do you think they were sitting around thinking "where should we put the AFM?" - I doubt it, much like the BOV - Just leave it alone and spend the time/money on something useful.

And what exactly are you basing this off of? Please don't quote where you read it on the internet to me either. Theory and real world application are two different things.

OP--if you are interested in putting your MAF in you intercooler piping, google "blow through MAF" and see what comes up. A lot of americans do it. I don't know how well it works with out tuning, but there is some good info out there about it.

Ahh good old BOV discussions, we should just have a section on SAU dedicated to BOV's considering the same topic gets discussed on a daily basis and ends up with people arguing whether compressor surge is bad or not.

Sheriff wan don't be hating lol

I'll look up the maf sensor in goole , yes there's heaps of thread on the Internet but som saying it's ok one says it's bad and a lot of dumbshits that think they know everything

the whole point in forums is to ask a question and let other skyline users reply first hand,

I just wanted to hear bout what you guys had to say

      There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)

      What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).

      No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here.

      I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
