why keep the stock bov?

im changing just about everything thats bolted onto the engine.

new turbo, apexi power fc, new plenum, manifold, external wastegate, 800cc injectors etc etc

wouldn't i be better off upgrading, i'll probably have the new bov (which ever i get) plumbed back.

thanks for all the help so far...

Best BOV on the market is the GTR BOV's

Stock, factory Nissan GTR BOV's.

You didnt say you were changing a-b-c-d-e-f & g...

So hence everyone said, stock BOV. You gotta tell us your plans, we cant "guess" that your upgrading everything :O

Having now knowing your going a bit more in terms of mods etc etc

I would now say, Stock GTR BOV's

Just because it doesnt have a brand name like "HKS" doesnt mean its not the best item for the job

"why keep the stock bov?"

why not keep the stock bov? :O

im a big fan of if it ain't broke, don't fix it. if the stock unit isn't broken, you don't need to change it. more money you can spend on doing other things anyway.

IF and only IF you choose to buy aftermarket.... I can reccommend Turbosmart as I have one myself and have used them for years and never had a drama with stalling or leaking. I have the VeePort Type II model which can be adjusted so the loud woooshing sound is only heard under full boost. Otherwise, its quiet and all you get is a bit of flutter.

Unfortunately, without any type of management, my car still runs the stock ECR33 ecu which is nice n rich, and the BOV certainly doesnt help, tuning is neccessary.

he has said that he is chainging computer so he isn't going to have the stalling problem. my mate has a hks ssq on his r33 with stock computer and has no problems, and i have the stock and i have the odd stalling prob (changing plugs and taping up coil packs tonight). after being in his car both before and after the aftermarket bov, i can say, from my experience only, that the aftermarket bovs have a slight performance gain as they vent more air. this isn't very noticable on skylines, but on my old 180sx it made a huge difference.

the ssq does make a high pitch squeal that sounds pretty cool, and at light throttle lift off's you get a flutter. if you plumb it back you only get the flutter.

the other alternative is to get an aftermarket plumb back such as the gfb or turbosmart. if you want outright noise the gfb mach 1 (atmo) is probably the loudest i've heard.

I go aftermarket BOV because I just got sick of hearing that noise,

like a loong ssssshhhhhh noise, stock bov makes, even on light pedal. its more embarass if u hit a hump, and it sounds like wsshhhh wwwssshhh, *cover my face*

I will see how it goes,

i heard few pros and cons about HKS,

but yea, 160 delivered.

cant go wrong!

*fingercross*

the ppl on here recommended Stock BOV, i thought they just like the sound.

If you dont like it, put the stock AIRBOX back on there.

People reccomend stock as it stips stalling, overfuelling etc.

Its hardly anything to do with wanky noises

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
