So I was doing some searching on youtube and came across this American douche's video about his BOV

Anyway check it out. I'd be pretty pissed if my BOV was working the way his does with his extra efficient twin turbo setup. BOV FAIL anyone???

Some of the comments are pretty good and he gets pretty defensive

It does seem odd, but reading the comments the makers of the product genuinely believe the product works and the theory behind it... I'm curious as it is difficult to see past the apparent flaw in the design.

what's up is they broke their blow off valve in the design stage and decided to make it anyway. They do make filters for BOV's (Blits Super Sound had them for a while) but I think they were only there to change the sound it produced. This thing is blowing air out at idle and at wot and he says it's because of how efficient the turbo setup is. BS! This thing would play havoc on an Airflow metered setup, you'd be coughing and spluttering all over the place if you even made it out of the drive.

EDIT - Here's the link to the BOV on the manufacturers website clicky just go to products then BOV. Apart from them sounding not too sure what their BOV is exactly, it also says it will never leak boost. I guess that means aside from at idle or at WOT with an extremely efficient turbo setup :D:(;)

there is nothing wrong with what he is saying

the company had some brilliant ground breaking idea of having a BOV that opens at low load/under vaccum, from memory it was for quicker throttle response, as when you crack the throttle, the air has a much shorter inlet path to the plenum, because intercoolers and piping and the whole turbo system is a big restriction.

the guy in the video is talking about that product specifically, because it draws in air under vaccum, people like to put filters on them. but hes saying that because the bimmer turbo is so 'efficient' and flows enough air, that there is actualy no vaccum through the BOV (again, keep in mind, this is product specific).

stupid thing is, if there is no vaccum though the BOV, there is no need to use their product on that car lol. that said it will probly open if you suddenly stab the throttle. i still found it funny though

Maybe I'm just being a troll... but... "FAKE AND GAY."

yeah they see you trolling.... They Hating... lol

But seriously it is legit. Check out their website I posted the link to it earlier. seems they have figured out a way to make all the jap BOV's obsolete due to their new "better" design

      Huh, wonder why it blew then. I never really beat on the car THAT hard lol I dailyed it and the turbo blew after 6 months

      That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php

      R34 GTT RB rough idle problem with weird RPM gauge fluctuations

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.

      I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
