helloooo,

here is another debatable topic and a question thats has more than likely been asked before, I have a 1993 S1 R33 GTS that i have fitted the stock turbo kit from the GTS-T, the car has been fine for the last 6 months no issues, But now i wanna up the boost from the stock 5psi to around 10psi nothing crazy. My question is, the stock system runs a BOV and a internal waste together, now i have only been running the internal waste gate but i have just ordered a Greddy BOV and want to know if i can just run the BOV and not the waste gate (still leaving the actuator on there waste gate just not running the vacuum hose to it). going off what i understand it should be fine but is there anything im missing ????

BOV are used so when you change gear you dont back up your turbo and essentially keep it spooled when shifing, so why run a internal gate as well or is the gate just a fail safe so if the bov dosnt work you wont over boost your car?

Please, please, please, follow the advice about googling how/why a wastegate does what it does.

BOV and wastegate bear no relationship to each other except that you will find them both on a turbo car.

so i come here to ask a question because im unsure and know one has told me so how am i ment to know and i get told to google and look at different forums. it might be a retarded question if u know how stuff work but some people dont and thats why they come her but yet you ask a question and people just laugh at you for sounding like a dick.

Yes.

spend money on a proper diff...

Then again, 10 years ago I would have invested in a BOV (I actually did on my 1st car) - dumbest thing I ever did...

Don't talk sense. No one will listen with the BOV debate.

1. Learn how to construct sentences properly. It will help you in life.

2. You don't have basic understanding of how a turbocharged engine's components work together. This means you'll have to research them yourself in your time. No one here will school you in that, so have fun Googling.

3. Sell your after market blow-off valve and spend the money elsewhere (e.g. better tyres).

4. Look in the DIY section for grounding the standard boost solenoid.

OR, ignore everything I said and do whatever you want, because it's your money and your car.

    • I didnt present too many conclusions because I wanted your opinions and feedback based on your own experiences. I don't know the exact material, but it is similar to concrete and therfor only has valuable strength in compression. The forces on the set material once the head is removed would mostly be in compression since the grout wants to retain its shape and the block wants to return to its relaxed state since it's still within the elastic region. The grout would theoretically make the block more rigid. The exact amount would take a better setup on my end. Thought experiment: Instead of aliens, twist your favorite fleshlite. Now fill it with grout and allow it to sit for a week. Now try to twist it again. Observe what you see. Now get your other one and blow into it. Observe what you see. Now put it into a can and fill the space between your fleshlite and the can. After it sets blow into it. Less movement in torsion and less expansion i hope.   
    • Hi. Yeah i think that DIS-008 should be ok too but i rather asked. The R8 coils are "sadly" no go for me cuz every solution is for forward plenum. The coils are too tall and one of the(4/5 DK) would not fit under stock J-pipe. And being this NA RB20 i dont even know where to get some forward plenum.(and of course i would need other stuff like custom AFM/ECU etc) and that is kinda non sense for NA without boost. I just looking for solutions for my case 🙂  I try look into those Yaris/Corolla ones.  
    • Damn it, no, I topped up before I got to yours I really should look at Costco locations more when I'm out and about burning through fuel
    • Did you hit the one 5 minutes down the road from my place before heading back south? 😛
    • Costco uses Mobile as a supplier, I always get Costco 98 when I'm near one, they are typically about 30 cents or more cheaper than the local Mobile
