Hey guys,

New to the Skyline scene

i have 2 quick questions for your neo rb25det Gurus

1) I was told that by blocking the little hole on the inside of the stock BOV that it will increase performance and induce a louder spool and release effect.

Is this true or false

2) What does that lttle hole do, im no expert but it looks like some sort of pressure regulator or something,,

Please see attached.

What more is there to say? Its a simple air valve.

Tap an m5 thread into the hole, loctite a grub screw in there and try it out. If you dont like the way it drives, remove the grub screw.

How it feels on throttle closing will change depending on the tune. Boost may raise a little with no bleeding but as for gains, perhaps at 20+psi?

1) I was told that by blocking the little hole on the inside of the stock BOV that it will increase performance and induce a louder spool and release effect.

False, who ever told you that probably read that rubbish off nissansilvia. On throttle the BOV will shut

2) What does that lttle hole do, im no expert but it looks like some sort of pressure regulator or something,,

All it does as scotty nm35 said is bypass air, it aids in making the piston of the BOV move up and down more gently improving driveability.

If you're car is stock, or running the stock turbo, stock boost etc.. don't bother doing anything to it. People say these BOVs leak, I ran 1.4bar through my old car and the BOV held it fine, although I ended up blanking the BOV off totally LOL

It recirculates air back into the intake post AFM. So leaking is probably not the best word to describe what it is doing.

Leave it alone, drive be happy OR do what Scotty said by tapping and installing a grub screw. Either way it will make two parts of bugger all difference to performance.

it is there for a reason. Nissan put it there after spending millions in research.

I do not know why the first thing people have to f**k with is the BOV.

Leave the BOV alone. Get yourself a panel filter and an exhaust, and eventually a front mount intercooler.

"Blocking a hole" isn't going to magically get you some horsepower and make the car run better otherwise nissan would have done it.

@ the Mafia

Totally agree bro. was thinking in that direction, my car is completely stock fresh import and i wouldnt want to f**k with it at all

Cheers

Best mod you can do, put an full turbo back exhaust on it, then a FMIC, then a boost controller, then be happy with it.... till you get silly......then pour stupid amounts of money into it... then once you regain some form of sanity you sell it.... once you miss it, you'll buy another one and it all starts again till your partner tells you off :domokun:

    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
    • Probably a smart choice to buy one vs build, purely for the motivation part as you said! Imagine the metal dust everywhere from grinding all the steel to build one. Ha ha ha!   Also, post a photo of your garage.   Mine is below, this is where I've been cleaning and have already half filled a caged 6*4 trailer. And this is after my cleaning expedition mentioned previously... The middle normally has a car in it, but I'm dumping things in the middle as I sort through them. And poor skyline was dusty and has had the lightest few drops of rain and now it looks atrocious and needs to be dragged back out and washed thoroughly! And yes to the right is technically another bay, you really can only see 2 bays out of 3 in this picture.
