Since petrol price is skyrocketting, can't afford to let my R33 keep running rich, therefore I am thinking of getting rid of my HKS SSQV atmo BOV. Can anyone recommend a good plumb-back BOV? Also, perhaps a dumb question, but would plumb-back BOV make flutter sound? I note that there have been some arguments that the 'flutter' sound is actually made by air bouncing back to intercooler - doesn't really make sense to me though...

Cheers,

DD

I'd like to know the same thing.

Seems my R33 GTST is using alot of fuel.

BOV

3inch exhaust (all the way)

Pod filter

Standard boost

How many K's do you get off a tank mate? I usually refil 50L every Tuesday night (Petrol at its cheapest) and that lasts be about 425 - 450 K's. Still takes around $75 to fill tho.

All I've got for mods atm is a Deceptor Pro BOV. Might try running it Full plumb back next week and full atmo this week and see the difference, will Keep you posted.

I've onlt had the car a week. Havent worked out kms/tank yet.

But i see the needle dropping a bit too fast. Of course, the first few days i was giving it quite a bit.

Does the BOV really blow fuel out ?

I notice when i'm city driving in 4th, doing 60kph, the rpm's show about 2200.

Does that sound high?

Mate you shouldnt be worrying about fuel economy, yours is awesome already.

I feel sorry for the guys with stockers who get like 250-300km's/50L if that.

you can still keep your HKS SSQ and plump it back!

there a guy on here sell the plump back adaptor!

all u neeed to find is pipe to plump it back!

he works at SHIFT performance @ Lansvale

Has anyone get one of these plump back adaptor? Is this original HKS item? How much? Also, dumb question, does it still make any noise?

BOV = POS. Waste of money. Run stock and save hassles with stalling and fuel.

If you want your car to make sounds then fit a pod...

that is just your opinion!

some ppl dont like stock BOV.

Pod noise is realy one of the anoying sound i ever heard.

I got no issue with stalling or fuel with HKS SSQ,

well that is my experience anyway!

yeah i get 300-350 on a tank but boost it alot too POD, factory blow off factory turbo on a RB25DE engine had it converted (by previous owner)

i like the sounds a POD gives your turbo, i wouldnt get blow off to scared to get it defected

that is just your opinion!

I forgot to add backfire...

Anyway I was crazy for atmo BOVs etc... until I saw the havoc it was causing with my car... maybe I am harsh but for the money I wasted on buying/installing/removing the BOV... would I ever do it again? no thanks!

SSQ BOV's are rubbish...go for something like the turbosmart supersonic stealth version. Awesome BOV whether u plumb it back it or atmo it. Flows alot better than the SSQ (less lag) plus its an aussie company. Just my 2 cents

Just bought the SSQ plumb back kit from BD4, genuine HKS item for $35, but just the nozzle though. Still trying to figure out what kind of plumbing I can use to connect to the intake pipe.

In the mean time, I tightened the BOV adjuster, making the BOV not to vent on low boost. Now I can get flutter and whistle noise at the same time... sounds better than before I reckon. But by doing this, will I harm the BOV itself or the turbo?

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
