stock is better and you dont need to upgrade

[thizzle]

stock

in case it wasn't obvious

[GuestyR33]

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

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?

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.

[paulr33]

having ignored everyone now, i suggest no bov and just have super psycho compressor surge, and we'll count down the days to compressor wheel failure

Go the stock BOV mate, I tried the aftermarket types mate and had troubles such as stalling and running rich.

The dudes on here schooled me back to the standard.

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.

why ppl prefer stock BOV?

the noisy sound pansy! not means at all.

I really hate the stock BOV sound.

ppl to their own taste maybe,

[LatinR33]

Just learn from your mistakes go buy a aftermarket blow off valves and the find out the probs your going to encounter. after a week your going to go back to your stock item.

[RBFIRE]

i c,

so its the problem it causes ?

not because ppl prefer the stock bov sound?

1 HKS is sending on my way,

i will find out!

lol

[thizzle]

my hks bov has never caused me to stall. i put a quiet adaptor fin to shut it up though..

i know most aftermarkets do have stalling issues..

get what ya want man see how ya go..there so cheap..just keep your stocky in case

LOl @ this bein the most talked about topic in forced induction

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.

[mad082]

is that 160 new? and is it a genuine hks? if its a fake one let me know what it sounds like.

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
