Ok this thread is still going... well i dont own my series II skyline anymore

Im proud to say that i own a 2002 s15 GT spec...

I understand how the bov/flutter works

my question is now what do you use to block the bov? any thing specific?

i know the cons about blocking the bov but frankly at this stage i really dont care i just want that sound esp when its on a s15 its nice...!!!

Take out the two bolts that hold the BOV down and slide the gasket out. Get a Coke can, cut the tops so u can fold it out. Trace the gasket shape onto the coke can and cut around the outside of your tracings(leave the inside as it is, it's this that will bloke off the air). Then just slide the gasket back in with your coke can gasket on top. (you can use some rubber gasket sealant if u like, but mine doesn't have it and doesn't seem to leak)

FTR i did mine to stop my car surging in between gear changes, and it worked.. Don't mind the sound now either, sounds tuned or something, hehe

Yeah i thought about the coke can but wasnt sure if it would last? cause it a really soft metal and could melt over a time of period with the heat...

But yeah it works aye? just cut out, unscrew the current bov then put back on? what about the pumpack hose...? leave every thing as it is?

Coke cans are alluminium. Alluminium is a piss poor conductor. And believe me, it's not THAT weak. Just very light. You WON'T have to worry about it melting, i can assure you of that. 40*C or 30*C intake temps or what ever won't even be enough to heat it propperly, let alone get it to the heat required to melt it.

Anyway, you are talking about the inlet side of things, so it's not all THAT hot, if you want to call it hot at all. Exhaust side is the hot side, no BOV there :(

Here's a thought. Why not just remove the BOV alltogether and sell it? Or do you want to just have it there for wank factor (by wank factor i mean, it's there, just not doing anything...)?

Alluminium is a very good conductor of heat.

Anyway your right the coke can will work... bit dodgy though :(

I can't believe this thread is still going, and that you still want your car to flutter.

just my 2c since everyone decided to revive this thread

when I had teh fully sik bro fluttah, ,it ran SO SHIT that I couldn't believe how crap it was and why people do it. It's like driving a lazy ass turbo that can't decide to boost or not boost. So in short, I got rid of my siknesss and now run normal. Nothing beats the good old induction sound..............NOTHING!!!!!

My mate has an s15 and it flutters anyway without blocking off the bov. It was especially audible once he put a pod filter on and upped the boost a bit. The only thing he blocked was the little hole in the bov to stop the air leak, but it fluttered even before this.

You are then the minority. Blocking the bov off does indeed improve the turbo's spool.

But yes mine did run a little crappy but the turbo's response was up.

But then you go on to say nothing beats the good old induction sound? The bov flutter etc sound is not an induction/suck sound? So.. I tend to take what you say with a pinch of salt. :(

Well the reason the fluttering is loud on mine is because im running a pod (until i get around to putting the stock airbox on, or manage to find a pod box) With the stock box, it's only audible from outside the car. the airbox may only be a little bit louder than the stock box, so if u want loud flutters, um, take the cover off or something

induction sound as sucking air sound...not blowing back out sound

    • Hey everyone, I recently bought myself a 2001 Nissan Stegea M35, and I've had a few issues that I had to fix, my car would start intermittently and I had a bad rocker cover leak, after a couple days of looking I finally found a part number that interchanges with the OEM starter as the OEM starters at $1300 and I can't afford that, this starter was only $270 and I replaced the start and still had the same issues, I posted a video asking for help online and it went very well, some guy said it was probably a bad ignition switch so I took my dash apart and turns out my ignition switch was half screwed in and was loose, once it was tightened it fired right up, I found a local place called "Boost factory" and they sold me a part of OEM Nissan rocker covers, they were $600 which was a shocker but I couldn't find them anywhere else, so I installed them and fixed my oil leak as the old rocker cover was cracked and warped, I now need to replace my boost air inlet hoses as they have some cracks.
    • I am being real ocd and do not want to make amy mistakes so appreciate all help provided. I am overly cautious so asking for opinion even if i know the answer   few questions,   1.re tensioner, should spring be greased lightly?    2.tensioner has two washers , one pressure washer and other has recessed/ seat. I am going to put the recessed one facing tensioner where edges are cut out and pressure washer on top   3. my car has custom triger kit sold few years ago by guy who initially built the engine. I moved the crank gear and it moved in and out easy, only way to remove belt is to slide the crankshaft gear forward which I did. I have seen these being very tough to move , anything to do with my woodruff key?   it has a crank sensor shown in purple which I assume reads from the 12 teeth position mounted to the crankcase gear   4. timing belt doesn’t have arrow stating front or back just a arrow which I think is direction of rotation . Do you agree?   5.i figured out why my crankcase cover was worn as there was no washer installed over the crankcase cover before the harmonic balancer was put in place. It is missing, anyone knows the part number? It looks like this https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-crankshaft-timing-gear-rear-plate-washer-nissan-s13-ca18-a31-r32-rb20-r33-r34-c33-c34-c35-rb25?currency=USD   https://tinypic.host/image/IMG-4535.382Zy2 https://tinypic.host/image/IMG-4537.382dSz https://tinypic.host/image/IMG-4534.382q4U  
    • CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it. 
    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
