Ok.. so im getting my car serviced on the weekend, and I was thinking of getting them to fit a BOV while they are at it.

Now, realistically, all I want it for is the wank factor. Sure the sound is loud at the minute with the Pod, but I want the typical Whiplash sound that we all know and love (or hate).

The question is, since I already have an SAFC, I can have it venting to the atmo without comming into any issues?

Should I leave the stock BOV as well?

If I plumbback the aftermarket BOV, do I still get my wanky rice sound?

I'm, looking at some sort of Turbosmart BOV... any recommendations?

Cheers.

:boobs:

yeh youll have to block off the std BOV but thats not a real issue

it will cause some slight problems with fuel mixtures but nothing serious

turbosmarts are very loud and in my opinion rediculous, if youre gunah get an atmo venting BOV go for something a little quieter like a HKS SSQ as the turbosmarts will piss you off after a while, i know the **** me to tears in my mates 180!!

I owned a highly modified VL Calais Turbo before this.. trust me, i know all about defects. :nod:

Literally, I couldnt give a rats ass what the cops thought, I want to enjoy my car for what it is, not what they think it should be. :shake:

Thanks for the info.. now I gotta chase up a BOV before saturday :cool:

I've just bought a GFB Hybrid. It's convertible from two trumpets (it actually becomes a Bovus Maximus if you do this), one trumpet and a plumbback hose (so you don't get stalling and running rich probs) or two hoses for silent operation.

BTW The 2 hose one is not mentioned on their site, but you can do it with a bit of fancy tubing.

That was the whole reason I bought it, so I could convert it from noisy to quiet.

I got a turbosmart plumb back on my r32 and can say they work pretty good. the advantage adout this particular BOV is that i can make it plumb back then a miniute with a socket set can make it vent 2 atmos. in plumb back the sound isnt much louder than std. but when V2A it lets go with a huge PPPSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! a bit like the sound when you let the air out of a tyre. It works well in both ways.

heres a pic of the plumb back and the supersonic turbo smart BOV. Notice they are exactly the same BOV but the super sonic has a trumpet sort of Xhaust housing wheres the plumb back has a out let pipe!!!

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
