dude uve been trolling the whole "bov" discussion lately... if u have nothing useful to add, move along plz.

lately??

always.

and it's always stupid questions.

just like yours.

is it not obvious that the sound will be louder with a pod?

it's no longer enclosed in a sealed box with padding to kill sound.

they say there are no stupid questions but f*k me.. there are a few execptions to the rule.

you don't have to know anything about cars to know that it would be louder.

nothing useful to add... I gave you a f*king award didn't I?

:pwned:

I went through this too, when I got my car last year, one of the first mods I did was a hks Bov, and I loved it.

SirD I'd say go for it, it makes driving fun but you'll most likely end up removing it like me.

After I got my frontmount installed it made the whoosh I was after with the pod and only at heavy throttle, unlike the bov which goes off even under light throttle which I think is really embarrasing in everyday traffic.

Well i have an auto, so it doesnt go off very easy, you need to rev it past 3000 rpm for it to go off nicely... anything past 5000 is just awesome... I drive like grandpa mostly so if i do launch it, it sounds awesome.

      Might import a stagea

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Duncan · Posted

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
