Is Bov Vent Better Than Plumback?post Views-poll-

[cosworth1971]

To me plumback just feels smoother,but on vent I like the spool but not the wishhttt!so much but i do like the backfires and im sure it cant be bad to be rich for a second?and no theres no cat

I mean why did they make vent?is it faster boost for drift?my car feels harder on vent but softer and smother on plumback.

post your views on what u like about what u have,being it vent or not?it will be interesting to hear your views and start some gossip

I have a GHB that does both thats all.

Poll your answers please

plumbback

Nice and quiet.

Venting was invented for race cars. The view was, they didn't want air entering the engine that has to go through the turbo 2 or 3 times, so they'd dump it to atmosphere.

As for back fires. If you have ceramic turbines, yes, it can be quite bad for the turbo.

anyone else have this view? before i melt my turbo

i have a stock plumback GTR bov on my GTS-T and im happy with it. don't like the thought of having a massive venting pssstttcchhh sound everytime i change gears, and its 1 thing less you have to worry about with the police pulling you over.

The only reason I can think of to have external is if your bov is to far away from the intake pipe. i.e. bov just before front facing plenum or in guard.

GHB... I love drugs too.

BAM: I know of guys who run return lines from down UNDER the front bar on the drivers side back to the intake pipe.

As for back fires. Seriously. Think, what is a backfire. It's fuel, igniting as it goes out of the engine. What does ignited fuel create? Heat. What do ceramic turbos hate? Heat...

I know that, I'm just giving a reason why some people don't run bov return pipes... Personally I'd always vent the bov back, I can't survive without daily driving ability.

[black_gtst]

personally i hate atmo venting valves. they pointless for most street cars, all they do is attract unwanted cop attention and make your car stall but everyones different i guess.

plumb back or no valve at all is my cup of tea! love the sound of chatter!

Whats wrong with your stock BOV?

I would personally just use the stock one.

If you just want a BOV that works, and does what it is supposed to, just use the stock one. its got all the stock plumbing in the intake pipe, and its all plumbed back for you.

Cost effective, cant get defected, and it works. What more could you want?

I've seen people running 18psi+ on a standard R32 BOV without it leaking, I can only presume an R33 one would be better due to its age, and new design..

I doubt your running more than that sort of boost?

Thanks,

Abu

i recently just put back on my stock BOV....and its fine i guess but i still like the wank factor a atmo one gives.

and everyone knows it here majority of us like it that way.

to be honest the every day street car will not benefit shit all from a atmo or a stock bov, but u gotta ask yourself is it causing more trouble then good.

with cops these days its a real pain to be constantly defected and requiring a RWC.

me personally have learnt the hard way so im stickn with the stock bov for a while, its diffrent....so im happi

[zertek]

cuz u just wasted 700 bux

HAHAHA! geeeez, money to burn?

[R34NRG]

HAHAHA! geeeez, money to burn?

hey lets not go overboard, each to there own, its defiently handy, and the amount of money ive spent buying RWC i coulda saved up buying one of those BOVs....real REAL handy.

but like i said...700 bux....dosnt do it for me

sound pretty mean aswell.

Because it's still defective?

were did 700 bucks come from? 300 will get you a gfb hybrid bov

my bro runs that same bov seems to be a good mix

ATMO when you don't need it, is for wankers.

You want to keep creating a bad image for all other skyline owners, go ahead. I'll sell mine and buy something thats image hasn't been f**ked in the ass by a whole heap of try hards.

I have a 300rwkw Skyline and I'm still running the factory BOV. Why? Because the car doesn't stall, the cops don't hear it, and so I don't look like a wanker.

Seriously, when was the last time chicks came running out flashing their tits and vaginas trying to get into your car because they heard the sound of your BOV? 98% of people that hear it think you're a try hard wanker. That is the complete truth.

No one cares that your car goes whoosh and backfires everytime you change gears.

yeah it is only the electronic on that is 700.

and running a plumback bov is better because the air that is getting plumed back in has been through the intercooler and is nice and cold.
