Well guys, I have just removed the Pepsi can gasket from underneath my BOV. While it was blocked off I noticed that boost came on much harder and also faster in between gear changes. I tested this on stock boost with the factory solenoid controlled by the ECU and also with the solenoid grounded running straight 7psi. On both settings there were absolutely no idle/stalling issues. I only drove about 10KM as I do not want to find out how reliable this setup is.

It sounded fulleh sik but also made the car more responsive on boost and also quicker to get there.

Is there anyone else who has run their factory RB25 S2 turbo without a BOV for a lengthy period of time who can report on reliability?

Haha I used Coke :(

Yeah the turbo will be fine, even at 10psi or higher without a BOV there would be no damage. I think people start thinking stuff in there head and panic, when theres nothing to worry about.

Are you gonna keep the fully sick setup?

Yeah i have the stall problem sometimes, do you know what it is caused from?

Ive done about 1000km

:(

Aside from making you a hectic bro - I have found that it has made my car more responsive, keep in mind that it is a genuine low kays S2 33 gts and i am running stock boost with a blitz pod and 3" cat back otherwise standard.

lol!

Im guessing you havent read the last 14 pages :(

Putting some metal or a coke can under the BOV blocks it off from the intercooler pipe. Then you just block off the tube that runs from the manifold to the BOV and you will get Fully Sick Flutter.

If you want details or instructions just PM me :(

Ah if u can fit it in the gap, it won't do a whole lot, the can wil probably get shaken up and will eventually de-carbonate, it won't cool it down either, your best bet is the fridge

haha i didnt understand any of that?? :(:woot::(

haha!! Nice

Nah he doesnt mean a full can :(

Gotta cut the can out to be the shape of the BOV. Put it in like its a seal and it will block up the hole.

The small tube which runs to the top of the BOV - Unplug that from the BOV and block it up (screw or something)

Would you like a diagram? :(

Just curious y did u block the tube off?

Just that i didn't think it would matter, it's only for pressure regulation (i think ) and as it's not getting any pressure i'd think it wouldnt make any difference whether blocked off or not. Correct me if im wrong but air only goes into the manifold nothing goes the other way right? (which i probably am not)

And na u shouldnt need to block the plumbback as it's not getting any air to it either

Nah the Plumb Back is fine, ive left all of that still on.

When I left the manifold tube unblocked my car wouldnt boost properly and was holding back, felt really bad!

Im pretty sure the tube is a vacuum which opens the BOV when you take your foot off.

What have u done with your manifold tube? did you leave yours in the BOV? I guess that would work the same if the BOV wasnt opening. Hmm might have to try, but yeah had a few boost problems with that pipe.

Yeh i just left mine on BOV,

Only reason im asking is coz im lazy and if i decide im sick of flutterz i want it to be easy to switch back

"Im pretty sure the tube is a vacuum which opens the BOV when you take your foot off"

Yeh thats what i meant, wasn't thinking of what i was typing lol

    • Do you think the guys in Penrith are install the E85 Kit?
    • Thanks Pac!   I will reach out to them!
    • Yes, but 2 things of the top of my head, 1. Legalities of nitrous on a street car. 2. No chop chop. I fully understand that there's much cheaper ways to make power, and whilst a wet 50 shot is fairly cheap to install, bottle fills are expensive, and bottles always need to be refilled, and nitrous also has its own inherent issues with reliability, and tuning, from my experience of others using nitrous, it doesn't take alot to lunch a engine real quick if something goes slightly wrong when spraying, if I wanted a big chunk of additional powers, a spooly boy would make alot more sense, disregarding the additional engineering, supporting mods and other logistical issues of sticking a spooly boy on a car that came naturally aspirated from factory  In the end I'm not racing for sheep stations, and I don't really care if people make more power, or are faster than me, or spend less, or more than me, the only thing the car needs to do is drive around and make me smile, which it is doing now Really, I just want a shiny new intake to look at when I'm cleaning the engine bay, and of course, some more induction doorts, and maybe even that 5kw for that elusive 200hp cherry on top that I might get If the FAB9 intake plenum, TB and air filter box thing doesn't eventuate for whatever reason, Plasmaman do one, not as fancy looking, and a fair chunk of more cash is required when including the TB and other bits and pieces that are required to install it, but, it is another option that is available to me if FAB9 one does fall down (but I really, really.....really, want the FAB9 one though) TL;DR. You want what you want
