well GTRs already run two BOVs standard. They are quite a good set-up. If you must have an aftermarket one consider the Trust Type R kit which replaces the two valves with one big one, or the twin Blitz super sound sequential kit is quite nice too. I run the blitz kit on my GTR and i'm happy with it. sounds good, not too loud. and never had any problem with stalling etc. runs smooth as a babys bum.

Ok thanks so much for your help.

how much did your BOV cost?

Stick with the stock BOV's the aftermarket ones only cause problems

Thats a pretty general statement and isnt completely true at all.

I have run the Trust Type R on my car for 3 years, both before and after installing aftermarket management and I have never had a problem.

yes i concurr. considering i own a GTR with aftermarket blow-off valves i can safely say they have never caused me one problem. also both with stock ecu and aftermarket. no stalling, no hunting idle, no bullshit.

The factory GTR twin BOV's are about the best setup you will ever get in terms of performance. They are not fussed with extreme amounts of horsepower.

Of course if you like pachoo --- pachoooo sounds then you might want to change them.

$600 to change them?

keep the money for something you will really enjoy. Like $600 worth of beer.

Leewah GTR 604rwkw - Stock GTR BOV's

Nige's Supra ~550rwkw - Stock GTR BOV's

Racepace GTR 550rwkw - Stock GTR BOV's

There is absolutely no reason to waste money on BOV's.

If you want some "noise" to get the chicks attention... stick your ass out the window and make a noise each gear change

thanks for that advice but i already made my decison by leaving it stock.

i didnt actually know that GTR BOV's were that good and can handle alot of power.

Cheers,

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
