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

[TTT]

I see you changed your user id but not your dumbarsed attitude.

[BANGN]

dose does sound better but whats better for your turbo

however if you have a factory bov, it gosh pshh, why else would you want to change it.

i much prefure the sound of a screamer, shame its illegal but as most of you have pointed out unless the cop knows what he is doing and looks under the car there not going to know, most of the time i think they just look for shiny shit and say THATS DEFECTABLE. i remember when a cop said i had a bov on my 4agze (this is a supercharged motor with a Throttle body before teh SC) and he pointed to the fuel regulator, i was like are u f**kn serious, not to mention my dad being asked if he had a V6 in his BA GT lol

don't the 4agze's have a 'by-pass' valve?

[BANGN]

yeh they do, set to vent at 10psi but they dont make a sound at all. you would need a hearing aid to hear the hiss.. but i dont have one anymore i removed it and blocked up the downpipe SC so i could run more boost.

atmo bov are just as good as stock ones or plumb backs. just as its the same as cars with no BOV.

stop dissn others personal tastes. if u wanna get that picky i can start shootn off about other shit.

why do u tint ur windows.

why did u change ur rims

why do ppl change their airbox to a pod.

we do these things cuz we like em.....simple as that

And everything you just criticised we criticise too if it's not legal.

Purely, and simply, atmo BOVs are illegal, and 9/10 they just fu'ck up our atmosphere, and make this world a less pleasant place to live in.

Seriously, atmo BOV are a PITA and annoying as hell.

why do u tint ur windows.

to keep the car cooler during the day. it lowers the temp insdie the car

why did u change ur rims

so i could get wider tyres so i get more traction

why do ppl change their airbox to a pod.

so i could get as much air as possible into the engine

You beat me to it lol.

Also, your comment on ATMO being as good as stock \ plumb back - is crap.

They aren't. You obviously have no mechanical knowledge, and don't know that you simply can't use a ATMO BOV with a AFM configured car without running into problems.

Its not a personal taste - Its an annoying mod that people put on to piss off cops, and make owning a "japanese import" harder for the people that don't like to attract attention.

I've had both (Turbosmart plumback and type 3 supersonic) on my 31, difference?

Noise, thats about it, 31 doesn't run a bov standard so venting bov doesn't effect the ecu and backfire.

Sister's 34 did have the Turbosmart type 3 supersonic on it for a little while, caused alot of backfire, standard one went back on.

[H@ME]

glad this topic is open i keen on buying a GFB bov when my conversion is done but not sure....

Can you send me some better pics of your car? I love black rims on silver.

hey, yeah i can do that 4 ya .. pm me your email and ill send some over to you... i love the dark rim look on silver to, sorta loox meaner.. hehe... i was looking at your car stats before, and damn they are nice..

i love that other guy who commented about: why have a tint and why have wider rims,, lol..

im sure wider rims dont cause the effect that a atmo bov would to a plumback or no bov,..hehe

wider rims help alot..

I think he ment dont be ignorant and well done!

well its all personal taste,you might like neon but i think thats gay and checker plate yuck lol

but the facts are serious HP cars use them too from pikes peak to WRC,1100 hp jap cars,dragsters

I did get a ghb that does both because when i get sick of it i can turn the knob

Dragsters run superchargers, no BOV.

WRC I think someone stated DON'T run BOV at all.

Australian rally, some do, some don't.

The new porsche GT3 I think it is, race car, doesn't run a BOV at all.

Also, your BOV is still illegal, so have fun when you get reamed for it. As it's not always as easy as getting a blueslip!

he didnt say dont be ignorant. so if he meant that?, why didnt he say that?.. instead of a example which made no sence..

and im sure this topic has more of a impact on your car then a neon. Your talking about taste, bov isent about taste, its about performance!, a neon is taste, or a color is taste, not a bov or tyres and performance parts.. lol.

but i think if any one reads through this thread, you will get a good idea of what is best.. each to there own, very true..

some people compare what track cars use?.... well, im pritty sure most are useing there cars for street, (i know there alot of track guys out there .. so how about, go plumback for the streets?, and what ever you want for the track hey?..

bov are loud enough, why do why need atmo on the street?, and there are some great points about turbo life with a plumback, very easy to understand...

[john-e boi]

cuz u just wasted 700 bux

wasted $700? i actually bought mine for $120. dont know how much they're worth cause i bought it off a dude that write-off his car before he could install it.

[markimak]

i had a atmo HKS SSQ on the GTiR.

standard plumbacks on the GTR

and 180sx had a HKS SSQ and changed to a big port high tension bov... cause it releases air in larger quicker amounts les laggy and holds more boost without leakage..

and now apparently im a wanker for doing so.. why do u have chromies and i have light weight racing rims..? whos the wanker then..?

[R31Nismoid]

Exactly.

Police are dumb as hell when it comes to imports. You very rarely find one that knows what they are talking about.

No BOV sighted = No defect.

Thanks,

Abu

Till you get to the EPA.

Then its no BOV sighted = rego suspended/car undriveable.

I do hear your point and agree in part

but why do drifters use it?isnt it ment to spool up faster on shifts for D1??

and why do rally cars use it?

I gues the motor is healthier with it plumbed back but is it more performance without?(on quickshifts)

and running no BOV at all is there alot of turbo LAG when changing gears?

Using race cars that rebuild turbos often, run better fuels and are tuned in specific ways... Are not good examples.

[r33_racer]

not advocating either way...but ive had atmo bovs on both turbo'd cars ive owned and never any dramas with backfiring/afm signals going messy. both cars had powerfcs. Yet some people seem to have heaps of dramas with such setups.

having std plumbacks would be ideal for all the obvious reasons, but whether its enough when your start running higher amounts of boost or increased airflow that its big enough to bleed it all off without still choofing and slowing down the turbo. I guess you could always run a wastegate instead and plumb it back into the intake...that would work pretty good.

Hi fellas,

Got a question for you guys...i run a gtr plumback on my gtst but when running anything over 15psi the bov doesn't vent quickly enough and i get a fair amount of flutter at full boost...with 18psi on the strip its worse...now i know a slight bit of flutter is ok for daily driving or even on the strip but at a track day i have coming up i'm not so sure...would it be advisable to get a atmo bov for my track outings so that the excess pressure is vented fully? Cheers...
