Just thought you guys would like to see some nice footage of the Stillway FD track car, as well as some other crazy fast cars. I have not seen this posted here yet, so if someone already has, my bad.

Actually the real reason why I posted this (besides sharing the vid) is to see if any of you can name that BOV on the AUTO SELECT Skyline (the yellow/carbon one) by its sound? The first time I heard it I almost crapped my pants, I have never heard one that sinister before! I cant seem to find any stats about the AUTO SELECT Skyline in English so I hope you guys can help.

Enjoy the vid!

 

That BOV would be BOV less from the sound of it. So remove your BOV or just the vac source and you too can have your car sound like this.
Just be forwarned that if your car starts to sound like the stillway car, your turbo life expectancy will decline greatly. Unless your car is a straight track car, and you're sponsored by a turbo company I would not remove the pressure relief source from the intake tract at all.

Ya that thing does sound badass..

 

That car is SICK, i've seen the video before but i enjoyed watching it again. Thanks!

 

I thought the video was bad-***. Some awesome cars in there, especially the two beastly Skylines.

BTW- That BOV does sound really good.

 

nice video. good post!

 

IT'S NOT A BOV! That sound is compressor surge.
It's a good thing people know how to read.

 

DAN SO ANGRY!!!!!!

 

^Chill out dude. Your sentences don't make sense anyways so I wouldn't be talking. Besides, I KNOW it's not a BOV, I only said that statement so people would realize which noise I was referring to.

 

Cool,

When did the Croc Hunter start hosting Car shows?????

I was waiting for him to wrestle with one of the drivers..........

 

AutoSelect is coming over to malaysia for a tuning session. Lets see how the fd performs afterwards.

 

My friends evo sounds like that and it has a greddy type s. maybe it isnt opening...

 

What show is that anyway? I've seen that guy in a few other car vids.

 

Dan, thanks for the 411.

I'm w/ White...who is that guy, and what's the show? He seems to be on a bunch of FD-related episodes, and a hardcore Stillway lover (there's another vid of him w/ the Stillway 9spec street-class FD).

 

"That Guy" is Ketzal Sterling

And the show is I have a few of the DVD's and they are excellent and include a good amount of rotary content.

 

roffle like a chip. That stuff was beat worthy.

 

that 9sec fd is on that dvd as well, there is 5 in the series i think, but this is the best one.
he is from new zealand, and they are makeing a movie at the moment, about cars and it will most likely be ****.

 

huh?

 

6 All together.

Those Kiwis are nuts!

 

Ok, so if it is not a BOV, what is the advantage of running a boosted car without something to adequately vent the pressure when the throttle plates are closed??? I am at a loss why any company would stick ungodly amounts of money into a car and only to have the boosted air be forced back into the turbine, when the plates are closed, damaging the turbine. Is there a performance advantage to this?

Are you sure this is a compressor surge and not the BOV? The first time you hear the GT-R/bov, it is traveling maybe 40mph and barely on the gas, this would this should not create a compressor surge?

 

The reason race teams will do this is to have instant or near instant response. If you add a pressure relief source to the system it will vent all the pressure in the intake tract, which will cause lag. If you don't vent the pressure, sure it will damage the turbo charger partially, but the system will stay partially pressurized and will have much less lag upon acceleration.

 

Dan you're a genius

 

what kinda power numbers does it have to pull a 700hp skyline in the straights? 550? love to know their setup...anybody know?

 

Not even close, but thanks Ramy. There are many more knowledgeable people on this forum. My description was basic.

I'm going to have to play devil's advocate here, you are contradicting yourself. compressor surge is simply defined as charge pressure pushing the compressor of a turbocharger the opposite way. so if that happens, then the turbo has to respool again. pressure will still remain, but it will work against the compressor. that is the whole point of a performance blow off valve. it's purpose is to relieve pressure so as to counter act the surge. yes pressure is lost, but by doing this, our friend kinetic energy keeps the compressor going the same way it was and as soon as you step on the gas it is still spinning the way that it should be going. it is a win win to have a blow off valve.

correct me if i am wrong
