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

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
