Nice choice on the valves and going w/ Z1 (killer company - have had friends who have worked with them etc). Love seeing more tech tubers that are in to cars too - the differences between the two aren't as far apart as most might think. Safe travels to Germany and Spain. Also now you need to change your hoses over to the Samco Sport hoses like you've already started to do w/ the Z1 branded versions, lol.
Blow off valves on a 3.0 Q50/Q60: I see a lot of questions lately concerning blowoff valves for these cars. The simple and short answer is, they don’t work. Here’s why A typical turbo car, let’s say the GTR for instance, uses mechanical wastegates and recirculating blowoff valves to reduce boost when letting off the gas and sometimes between shifts. Whenever you see a GTR using a standard VTA (vent to atmosphere) blow off valve, you’ll find the car has been converted to speed density. It doesn’t use filter maf signals for fueling but a volumetric efficiency(VE)table precisely tuned by your tuner which doesn’t monitor active airflow but uses other calculations for proper engine fueling. A recirculating blowoff valve is REQUIRED when used in a system that places the MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR(MAF) in front of the valves(which is how most systems are setup). A recirculating valve relieves pressure but doesn’t “waste” the airflow simply recirculates and pumps it back into the intake tract POST MAF) The reason for this is the MAF pre-fuels the engine which means ANY AIR passing by the MAF has to go into the engine. If it doesn’t, the ecu still adds fuel for that amount of air going into the engine. Extra fuel/less air= rich dips in air fuel. This won’t blow your engine up but it will cause your drivability to suffer and things like your spark plugs/AF sensors to degrade/foul over time. The VR30 ECU’s logic is much different than the GTRs and other older systems. It uses the electronic wastegates and throttle bodies to limit/decrease boost. When you let off the gas, instead of relying on a recirculating blowoff valve (which is what it would need being that is a MAF car) to reduce spikes, it completely opens the wastegates and momentarily holds the throttle bodies open(sometimes up to 0.25 seconds) to give the small turbos time to slow down through exhaust turbine pressure relief NOT compressor pressure relief. The two main reasons the VTA BOVs DONT work on these cars is because they are not currently able to be tuned in speed density and even after adding them, any pressure spikes you think you might be limiting, aren’t limited enough or even at all to make a difference in extending the turbo life due to the throttle body logic and how it hesitates closing once more than stock boost is added to the car. In order for blow off valves to work, the valve has to be subjected to a positive pressure to vacuum condition to suck the piston up into the head of the BOV to allow air to escape the bottom portion of the valve. The throttle body logic limits this transaction completely and you end up with a small double spike every time. I have taken back to back logs and if I posted the boost pressure spikes after letting off the throttle, no one (including myself) would be able to tell you which log did and didn’t have the BOVs. The throttle let off spiking remained almost identical. This is something built into the logic that has yet to be(or able to be) solved by ECUTEK.
Bovs do work on the car. They dispense the excessive boost pressure after you let off the throttle. The problem is that the ecu doesn’t calculate for it. However you do run slightly rich for a split second. But running rich for a split second isn’t bad at all. The problems people face when running these Bovs is because they don’t install it correctly and boost leaks appear. Boost leaks will cause the turbo to spin faster to maintain the same boost levels which will kill your turbo especially these small ones.
Hey great video. Maybe you'll convert a few computer geeks to car nuts...always an added bonus. As a moderate car guy, I for one, wouldn't mind seeing a few of this style video. I generally turn my own wrenches in a money saving effort. It never hurts to know what bolt to turn. Pretty solid car choice from all angles. Ya can rip with the kids Friday night and still take grandma for ice cream on Sunday.....🍨
Hey! Just so you know the vr30ddtt’s turbos are so small that they don’t need a conventional bypass system. Installing this will do more harm than good but if it’s just for the wooshie and sneezy noises then feel free to continue at risk.
Also it makes your car slower since your are releasing that charged air into the atmosphere making the turbos work twice as hard to maintain boost pressure while off throttle and coming back on
Daniel Borst although it isn’t supposed to happen, it is a turbo noise nevertheless. I think flutter sounds cooler than BOV but I realize that a BOV should be included in any street car setup.
@@Mikkel111 just because you can doesnt mean you should. You can run anti lag on a car but doesnt mean you should. If you care about your turbos and dont want to piss money down them breaking them far more often then you should you will install BOV or a BPV.
@@Mikkel111 may want to do a quick google before you speak. From what I am finding red sport edition of this car runs at 14.5 psi and the JB4 tuner depending on what he wants to do can raise that 3-4 psi over stock. Given that he says he is making 425 ft-lbs means he is probably running 3 psi over stock so he is pushing 17 psi-18 psi at times. So yes its only a 5% hp and 8% torque increase over stock with his mods he has that is because the red sport is already a decent jump over the stock car( which has 300 hp, 295 ft-lbs and 8 psi to start with.
its interesting to see that so many tech youtubers are into cars. I guess a passion for building computers translates well into a passion for working on cars, and vice versa. I would personally love to see more videos like this!
Fun fact, with new technologies such as electronic throttle bodies and variable valve timing the engine can change the phasing of the camshaft to allow and excess boost to pass through the cylinders when you release the accelerator. This is a much more efficiency way to eliminate compressor surge as well as boost lag by equalizing both exhaust and intake manifold pressures. Operating this way it allows the intake system to be simplified by getting rid of blow off or diverter valves. When off boost the air charge rushing through the cylinders has the added benefit of cleaning the valve sealing surfaces and removing carbon from the piston faces. Just some food for the noggin, manufacturers can further refine these systems but it will never beat that blow off sound.
Thanks for posting this, I love seeing more and more tech youtubers into cars. Ive been taking a look at those Q60 as a nice fun daily, and to save wear and tear on the BNR32, parts are getting hard to find and expensive.
Yeah save the turbo sure, you just want that pshhh noise. Don't worry about noise it's pretty quiet, if you heard my TypeR at 9K rpm with it full custom manifold back exhaust (no cat) that's loud, sound like a F1 car going by lol
@@GregSalazar Yeah cars are solid now, back in the late 90's I had a Ford Escort RS and all you could hear was pshhh but the car was under a ton and made of tin...
@@hunterrrdrives I'll give you a lot do, but you can tune the sound with the exhaust system, I actually went through 2 setups to get a better noise, also I have the 2.2 engine in there so it has a slightly different sound vs a standard Type-R.
There's 2 different types of turbo surge. The one you're talking about, closed throttle body surge, it's not bad for the turbos. Now if you're on the throttle and you hear it constantly hearing surging. Then you have a problem. Why do you think infinity didn'tput them on? Cause it's not bad for the turbos once the throttle body is closed.
This will count as a modification to the engine/turbo, which will violate most warranty agreements, so ideally you would want to uninstall them before going to the dealer. Just in case your turbos go out they can't pin the blame on the BOV's. But I would check with your local dealership service provider, some might be lenient on these types of modifications.
I am not gona lie , you explained good tbh bc i just got my q50 3.0t 2 days ago cuz i felt when boost went backwards and i was trying to search and found out that there is a blow off valve , you helped me alot ;)
^^ this is the correct take! Even for MAP-sensor (Manifold Absolute Pressure) cars a DV (diverter valve) is better than a BOV, but for a MAF-sensor (Mass Air-Flow) car the BOV is a really bad choice, since the air has already been measured and accounted for. Basically the BOV is more for the whooosh! sounds, the DV is the correct solution for compressor surge. Here is a quick explanation of the differences betwen the BOV and DV: blog.moddedeuros.com/blowoff-valve-bov-vs-diverter-valves
A side effect of atomosoheric BOVs is transient response will be reduced, meaning it takes longer to get back into boost. Also, if you aren't reflashing the ECU your car won't be making any use of breathing mods as the MAF, timing and fuel tables haven't been adjusted to make use of the extra air.
Not really true. Semi modern ECU's adjust for higher flow automagically. Some ECU's even tune themselves a bit according to conditions and such. Not this one obviously but some standalone ones do
You are correct, however no OEM ECU is going to self adjust fuel, or timing to gain 50whp. It might adjust ST/LT trims to prevent lean outs or over rich conditions with an upgraded air intake. "Self tuning" standalones are a bit misleading. They'll just make the necessary adjustments to keep it at target AFRs
Whoa, didn't realize you came to team Infiniti;) I have a G37X, test pipes and catback (basically headerback exhaust), "CAI", and just getting some coilovers in the mail. I've only had the car since maybe January and I've got the mod bug as you can tell but I'm in love. Glad you chose an Infiniti! The new Q60's are AWESOME!!
Hell yeah man I'd love to see more car stuff from time to time. I've noticed a lot of computer channels also seem to be into cars such as JayzTwoCents and RandomGamingInHD. I've just always figured car guys are just nerds that decided computers weren't an expensive enough hobby.
Turbo back pressure doesn't actually damage the rotor as long as it only happens off throttle, as far as everything I have heard/read. That and turbo flutter is just ❤❤
As a computer guy who also likes cars i love videos like this. Funny how similar our cars are in power too. I got a 2010 Lincoln MKS did a few minor things to it including a Livernois Stage 4+ tune it's putting down about the same power as your car. Although this car is a much nicer car then mine though. Got to say my favorite part about my car is destroying unsuspecting sports cars at stop lights.
My dad has a 1984 Ford Thunderbird with an aftermarket turbo and intercooler setup. And the blow off valve when it goes off sounds like a turkey gobble.
I never knew you where a car guy that's awsome I like seeing more people work on their own cars, this was a cool change up from the computer, and tech videos witch a love too.
I just recently discovered your channel, and I had no idea you were also a car guy. I watch a lot of PC and car content on UA-cam, but it's not often that they come from the same person. The only other youtuber I can think of that does this is Jay.
First thing I did on my car is remove the HKS blow off valve it had, 5 years later still no issues with no running a valve, it's really common here in Australia for people not to run one.
I'd love to see you and Jay race it out on a track day somewhere. I'm probably one of the few viewers who enjoys it when TechTubers show off their cars :)
Car guys always talk about the awesome "choo choo" turbo noises like they're cool. Idk, as a car guy who also works on cars, all I think of when I hear that noise is turbo bearing damage. :/ All F.I. engines should have a blowoff valve to release boost when the throttle plate is shut quickly.
Make sure that vacuum tubes going to each of the BOVs don't touch anything hot like the manifold or the coolant pipes. They will "melt" over time and develop holes. Just a heads up. It will take a long time, but you strike me as proactive. Looks and sounds nice. I have an atmo venting system on my WRX and I had one on my old STI. Sounds great in traffic and it turns heads everywhere (aside from saving those turbos). Pardon my long post, but im a mechanic by trade and I love these types of videos!
Good luck man! Keep a look out for deals. Also RAM and SSD prices are dropping fast, so watch out for that as well. If you time it right, you'll get a great PC for a few hundred cheaper
I think that cars are a natural progression from tech, all my techie friends, also love cars as well, including me, although being a family man myself, my money goes on maintenance of the family, not cars, what I have and what I'd like to have are two very different realities.
I saw the Z1 sticker on the car and immediately liked!!. I run their cai and test pipes on my Skyline 370gt 👍🏽. I plan on getting a q60 myself, my only issue is that I will have to import it from the US( really don't want LHD) or Europe. Unfortunately Japan only gets the sedan with the 2.0t and 3.5 hybrid.
Great video. Just go a Q60 last year. Wondering if either the new intake or the blow off valves void warranty? Also, after installing such components, did you have to mod computer settings on the car!?
As an automotive engineer I cannot believe why Nissan didnt put a stock diverter valve on a turbocharged engine... I know its a cost saving thing, but the thrust bearing of the turbo will take a beating without a pressure relief on the long term. I guess what happens after warranty is where its gonna get expensive...
I did one in my sti cause for some reason it no longer likes recirc systems. I removed the ring in the center of my hks. I'm not that big a fan of the high pitch whoosh. I think it sounds better with out the ring in the center.
No, backfire is caused by unburned fuel in the exhaust gases. This mod prevents an overpressure of air bouncing between the throttlebody and turbine/impeller of the turbo.
I have a Nissan in the stable too (no turbos though, just an NA 370Z). Unexpected and interesting video. It looked a little fish-in-a-bottle to install the blow-off valves, but it looks like you managed just fine. Nice "cable routing" too.
Nice ride, you still have the Audi as well? Enjoy car vids just as much. The hobbies go hand in hand. More performance, mods, tuning, etc. Tuning is the equivalent to oc'ng just a hell of a lot more expensive when mistakes are made or parts cant handle it.
Awesome video! BTW, your channel is Science Studio. As far as I am concerned, that means you can do videos on almost anything hahaha I, for one, get the fact that you are human, with interests and hobbies. Troglodytes stuck behind pc screens with cheetoh dust everywhere don't have that, and that is their problem, not yours. Most sensible humans have many many many different interests. Good video, good quality, good to see you have a hands on approach on many things. Keep up the awesome work Greg!
I do have another question for you do you have a bigger Intercooler and if so, with you having the Jb4 do you know what you’re Intercooler temperatures run
You do have a sort of blow off valve it’s called diverter valves that’s on the turbos, so really you don’t need these blow off owls which another gentleman stated that it does make the turbos work harder
Please read the description! Thanks for watching!

Not the best running atmosphere vented bovs on a car with a maf should really use a recirc valve so you get correct air readings through that maf
^^ this is the correct take!

I'd love to see you and Jay race it out on a track day somewhere. I'm probably one of the few viewers who enjoys it when TechTubers show off their cars :)
Did you at least connect it to a boost controller?
Next up: 0-60 POV vid⚡
Car guys always talk about the awesome "choo choo" turbo noises like they're cool. Idk, as a car guy who also works on cars, all I think of when I hear that noise is turbo bearing damage. :/ All F.I. engines should have a blowoff valve to release boost when the throttle plate is shut quickly.
Make sure that vacuum tubes going to each of the BOVs don't touch anything hot like the manifold or the coolant pipes. They will "melt" over time and develop holes. Just a heads up. It will take a long time, but you strike me as proactive. Looks and sounds nice. I have an atmo venting system on my WRX and I had one on my old STI. Sounds great in traffic and it turns heads everywhere (aside from saving those turbos). Pardon my long post, but im a mechanic by trade and I love these types of videos!
Pretty sweet ride you have there!
Most PC Enthusiasts are always always car enthusiasts I mean look at jayztwocents and Linus is an exception
linus is into bikes tho
I thought Linus was into cars too.
Im still saving up for a gaming pc.
Good luck man!
Keep a look out for deals.
Also RAM and SSD prices are dropping fast, so watch out for that as well. If you time it right, you'll get a great PC for a few hundred cheaper
Buy a old HP elite desktop like a z220 for $150 and a GPUs like a GTX 1080ti for $300. You'll be gaming for at least 5 years at max settings.
@@markm0000 that is pretty fucked, I'd go with a simple prebuilt +1070 +more ram and psu+ an ssd for around the same price
@@markm0000 literally every other component will be bottle-necking the 1080, also where do u get one for that price lol
Inspirice eBay and snipe auctions. You’ll eventually get a 1080ti for $300 or less.
Never expected to see a PC channel to post about both of my hobbies
I think that cars are a natural progression from tech, all my techie friends, also love cars as well, including me, although being a family man myself, my money goes on maintenance of the family, not cars, what I have and what I'd like to have are two very different realities.
I saw the Z1 sticker on the car and immediately liked!!. I run their cai and test pipes on my Skyline 370gt 👍🏽. I plan on getting a q60 myself, my only issue is that I will have to import it from the US( really don't want LHD) or Europe. Unfortunately Japan only gets the sedan with the 2.0t and 3.5 hybrid.
Sounds amazing I ordered mine yesterday
Flashback to spending way too much time on Z1 looking at 350Z parts. Super cool to see your car and keep up all the good work!
Great video. Just go a Q60 last year. Wondering if either the new intake or the blow off valves void warranty? Also, after installing such components, did you have to mod computer settings on the car!?
does this require recalibration of the MAF sensor? for proper fuel injection?
dont lie you did it for the sound!! nice car brother
You know a dude is well rounded when he knows about both computers AND cars.
you should make a second channel for car stuff because thats another common hobby and Im sure many pc guys are car guys so theres a decent overlap.
I like the one off vids its a nice change of pace.
As an automotive engineer I cannot believe why Nissan didnt put a stock diverter valve on a turbocharged engine... I know its a cost saving thing, but the thrust bearing of the turbo will take a beating without a pressure relief on the long term. I guess what happens after warranty is where its gonna get expensive...
How many frames does this puppy push out?
Nice vid. Great mod, but worm gear clamps on a boosted setup? I'd snag some tbolt clamps asap
I think this is sound advice! Will look into swapping them out.
More car videos please !!!
I did one in my sti cause for some reason it no longer likes recirc systems. I removed the ring in the center of my hks. I'm not that big a fan of the high pitch whoosh. I think it sounds better with out the ring in the center.
The car sounds great! Nice change of pace since I’m also in to cars as well.
Focus RS owner (and dyi-er) here. Love this content. ;-)
Are these actually a solution to take off stress on the turbos? And do these add performance gains?
Enjoyed the content, I have a turbo’d Jeep Wrangler and BMW 3-Series with twin turbos. The Jeep sounds much better than the Bimmer.
With that blowoff valve it won’t be shooting flames anymore right?
No, backfire is caused by unburned fuel in the exhaust gases. This mod prevents an overpressure of air bouncing between the throttlebody and turbine/impeller of the turbo.
I have a Nissan in the stable too (no turbos though, just an NA 370Z). Unexpected and interesting video. It looked a little fish-in-a-bottle to install the blow-off valves, but it looks like you managed just fine. Nice "cable routing" too.
Nice ride, you still have the Audi as well?
Enjoy car vids just as much. The hobbies go hand in hand. More performance, mods, tuning, etc. Tuning is the equivalent to oc'ng just a hell of a lot more expensive when mistakes are made or parts cant handle it.
Until now I didn't really know what the waste-gate was for on a turbo-charger but now I do. Interesting stuff. :)
Just subbed because of this video, this was great 😃
Awesome video!
BTW, your channel is Science Studio. As far as I am concerned, that means you can do videos on almost anything hahaha
I, for one, get the fact that you are human, with interests and hobbies. Troglodytes stuck behind pc screens with cheetoh dust everywhere don't have that, and that is their problem, not yours. Most sensible humans have many many many different interests. Good video, good quality, good to see you have a hands on approach on many things. Keep up the awesome work Greg!
You literally have the next car I'm getting. I'm gonna do the jb4 also. I've currently got a low mile g37, but I'll sell it next year probs
But do you have a racing air filter? That's like an extra 15hp you could be missing out on! /s
LOL
Amazing video , didn't know these didn't come with a bov keep up the good work , very few tech guys love cars
I do have another question for you do you have a bigger Intercooler and if so, with you having the Jb4 do you know what you’re Intercooler temperatures run
Excellent video! I really enjoyed how you explained what you were doing.
Gotta keep the snails nice and happy. 7:45 sounds lovely. Wouldn't mind seeing more car content
Amen! And thanks!
U don’t like the turbo shudder sound? When u let off lol.
You do have a sort of blow off valve it’s called diverter valves that’s on the turbos, so really you don’t need these blow off owls which another gentleman stated that it does make the turbos work harder
