lol haha no worries man, will do when i get some time and i hope you shit yourself! haha

Fully sick Skylines run rampant where I live - the most fully sick I've seen was a gold '33 with 20-inch vault chromies. But I'm over lol-ing at them nowadays :P

Mate, do i know what you mean!

Nah you're all good - at least you didn't know what it was / was for and asked.

And will now take it off.

I'm at the point of thinking non plumb back REAL bov's are fully sic... they were cool 10 years ago when I was 18 and didn't know any better... :P

Cheers mate.

Yea dont worry im only running a standard bov!

im confused.... u bought a turbo car with one of those turbo whistles in the exhaust?

rn't they just made for non turbo ricers?

lol not sure man but its not on my exhaust, it just sounds like a normal bov but the noise is come from the engine bay, i have a feeling it may be around the dump pipe.... Will have to have a close look on the weekend.

But its not one of those things on the link that was posted at the start of this thread, thats for sure!

you sure its not an external wastegate or watever it is?

and if you have a pod, it will make a similar noise to a blow off valve on decel

Ok so I think we all had this confused - it's a real bov then?

It will be attached to the intake piping somewhere after the turbo, not exhaust.

Haha sorry for confusing you guys, i deffinately still have the stock bov!

when purchasing the car i got an raa check and the raa mechanic said it has an exhaust bov fitted, and my mechanic also said it has a exhaust bov but never actually asked him where its located.

The noise deffinately comes from the engine bay on deceleration though just as a bov would just not sure where it is, might record the sound and pic of engine bay/video to show you guys.

Im as puzzled as you guys are but i looked in my rear muffler and theres deffinately nothing around there!

Perhaps the RAA guy meant an atmospheric bov - ie venting 'exhaust' (which is actually just intake air) hence the pssshht - as opposed to a plumb back standard one?

    • Let's hope that's not a copy pump either. There were so many copies of them back in the day.
    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • 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.
