hey guys, like the majority of you, after having my blitz bov for a few weeks, ive began to get really annoyed with that ***tty sound. i was thinking of taking the bov of and runnin the car without one. (dunno what happened to my stock one). would the car still run fine and safe?. ive got a s1 r33gtst with just a turbo back exhaust and a blitz pod on stock boost. would i begin to get that loud fluttering sound if i take it of (not a vl tutut fan). also in the near future im getting a front mount and winding the boost up to 10psi. would i be doin any harm to the turbo runnin on 10psi with no bov at all? is there anything else recommended to upgrade on my car to run 10psi safely all day long.

any help would be appreciated

dude, you can't not have a BOV or Bypass Valve (which is what the stock one is.) If you cap it off You'll Sh#t your turbo!! If you just leave it disconnected, you'll have one hell of a boost leak. Find a stock one and put it back on, someone on here will have one for you, at a small fee ofcourse. As for running 10psi you'll be alright if you're tuning is up to snuff.

the car will run a little rougher than with the stock bov and could stall occasionally.

Yes you will get that sound.

also in the near future im getting a front mount and winding the boost up to 10psi. would i be doin any harm to the turbo runnin on 10psi with no bov at all? is there anything else recommended to upgrade on my car to run 10psi safely all day long.

Here's a recommendation.

look in parts for sale section and buy a stock bov for $20

save you a lot of hassles.

Not another bov vs no bov thread.

Your car will be fine, It may stall after a big lift off if you have a really short intake pipe, it will be a little slower coming on boost between gear changes. For those reasons alone i would install a plumb back bov but it isn't essencial.

I am yet to see one of these damaged turbos as a result of running no bov, i have never been told by a tuner/mechanic/workshop that i should install a bov because i'll kill my turbo, I've yet to kill a turbo by running no bov. Can someone please provide some evidence that no bov is pure death for turbos so that when ever someone asks this question we can post a link that shows a comp wheel with no blades and say "see"?

Then whenever someone in a mirage drives past and has some massive wheels and even bigger flutter we can all smirk even more.

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
