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

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
