I thought so too, but if you get a set of pliers in one hand and squeeze the hose on the BOV while revving the motor with the other you get no psssshhhh, let the pliers off and rev...psssshhhhh! if you fit a highflow gas solenoid to this hose when it has no power the solenoid is closed so there will be no pssshhh. when you power it up (energize) the solenoid opens and allows the BOV to operate normally. so you would use an ignition power supply via a switch to the solenoid and the other solenoid wire to earth. Make sense??

Wont work. You aren't loading the turbo so aren't making boost. By clamping the line it will be at atmospheric pressure. If you clamp the line and then make boost it will be seeing a higher pressure in front af the BOV ALL THE TIME and so will leak all boost off constantly once your turbo starts making boost. Also because you are venting your boost you will have sluggish response.

Hi guys, why don't you turn the boost down to zero. Then no boost to exit the BOV = no noise.

Plus I know the min rpm when my BOV operates, and I never free rev the engine to that level "it might damage the engine, not having any load on it". They can't make you "damage your engine".

Um..... no. The BOV doesn't require boost from the plenum chamber to remain closed. It operates when it recieves vacuum from the plenum. Therefore, if you block the hose from the plenum to the bov it will hold boost and not release it when the throttle plate closes suddenly.

    • Everyone is too used to learning from places like HPA "how to tune" and what to expect at what point, rather than being able to see "The computer says I'm in cell with Row = 8, column =4, and I can see my fuel is lean, so lets add more" Everyone wants "real units", which helps for someone picking it up for the first time and seeing how bad the tune is if they're not used to touching it.   However, I think for most of us who want to play with it, you're 100% right, we're only needing to learn about it for OUR CAR. Which makes it great, and we don't need to care what the real values are, we just need to know which cell it is, that's causing the lean or rich point, or that we want more ignition timing or less. But again, everyone wants everything super you beaut and nearly self tuning, with VE maps, and a billion compensations...   Though then there's me over here when I'm doing reverse engineering work just reading data in hex format that most people couldn't work anything out from. Yet I can see what's going on.
    • Um. No. Since Matt introduced the TIM it has become a lot easier to deal with the consequences of changing K for AFM and injector swaps. Then, tuning is a f**king doddle. No-one needs to know or care how many grams of air are flowing or any other bullshit. Need more fuel in a cell? Add more fuel. Need more timing in a cell. Add more timing. Need to adjust any of the other tables for warm up and so on? No harder than anything else. Sure - it's not an ECU system for starting from scratch on an arbitrary engine. But then.....it was never supposed to be, not recommended for, and almost never used that way. So.... On your engine, in particular, Nistune/Nissan OEM is about as sophisticated and difficult as banging 2 rocks together. Those ECUs are primitive and simple. There is nothing difficult there. I learnt Nistune from scratch, created new maps with extended axes, interpolated/extrapolated the original maps onto them and tuned my RB20 (basically the same ECU as your 26 ECU) all by myself, more than 20 years ago. And that was long before even TIM.
