ive never done it i should clarify but i think u just open the stock bov and block it off..

prepare yourself for a lot of dead pidgeon posts though

are u running a pod filter? if not its not gonna sound that great anyway, not to mention your spool time will be slower

go on google, you will find it, esspecially on vl turbo forums..

but the easiest way to do it. is unbolt your blow off valve, get that gasket and trace it onto a drink can then cut it out, then bolt up your blow off valve back to how it was.. only put that small bit of tin between the gasket and the blow off valve.. thats the way i done it, and occasioanly when i get bored i change it around.

Yeah I did this many many moons ago. Good ol Coke can gasket, along with upgraded intercooler and pod filter.

Good for giggles for a week or 2. Got old pretty quick though. Didn't like the stalling problems but did like the pops and gurgled it gave up when backing off.

I've got an adjustable turbosmart BOV plumbed back...

with the standard turbo it sounded ok... but when i started pumping 19psi through the piping it went crazy

especially on the motorways... 5th gear... gave the throttle a little tap then back off and all you hear is... tsu tsu tsu tsu tsu tsu hahaha

but yeh... getting over it a bit... might loosen the BOV to just get a big old whoosh!

i did this to my car.. =) when i got an aftermarket BOV. i pulled it appart and added a spacer inbetween the spring and piston to make the spring tension harder. so on really hi boot it would open and on low boost it would flutter! =)

Do it...... coke can gasket (in my case, carlton mid can gasket :cheers: )

I put it in for a week or two then take it out when I get sick of the lag.

I'll probably put it back in again soon :D

I'm also considering taking my turbosmart plumb back apart and adding a space saver, just not sure if I can bring myself to do actually pull it apart. It seems kinda hard...

Here is a way you can do it and avoid all of the stalling issues.

What you really need is a door hinge, some blutack, rubber bands and an icecream container...oh and a mirror...

1. Screw (or blutack) the hinge to the cowling around your cooling fan...cut a peice of the icecream container, preferably an L-shape and blutack it to the other side of the hinge..Put the rest of the blutack on the end of the l-shape..

2. Then get the rubber bands and place them between the hinge and your fully hectik sick oil filler cap...(the one thats make an extra 38rwkw)...

3. Go for a drive and adjust the rubber bands so that when you back off the throttle, the L-shaped plastic swings into the fan...

4. Once you have made all of the appropriate adjustments and have it fluttering just right, pull over, pull out the mirror and look in it. You will be looking at yet another face that has reduced Skylines to levels of riceness that we commonly see today....

I'm a solutions man...Let me know what you think...

    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
