Hey peoples,

I have a Turbosmart Type 3 supersonic BOV i bought last week with th egenuine turbosmart mount for an R33, but am going to get rid of it to allow for the new Greddy one on its way from japan. BOV alone i paid $398 for it and $99 for the mount. So i'd say $300 is fair for both, being it has been on my car for 6 days lol. It sounds awesome i must add, can be very loud depending on boost levels and is so easy to adjust via the turn of a wrist. Would prefer to sell to melbournians if possible.

Yeah twist the top on it by hand and its quietened... twist it other way and its loud... easy and takes about 2 seconds, other BOV's require an alen key and small spanner to adjust spring tension, thats the beuty of this BOV and all turbosmart BOV's.

Um you can put it at either as it will work the same at both. Having it nearer the throttle body will make it respond a bit quicker on back off only because of its near ness to the shut off point. I prefer tho to run it a little further away on teh cooler piping like you had made, gives a better sound i reckon. Currently i have mine on the stock mount only because i bought the exspensive turbosmart mount for it to make for a neat fitment but it really doesn't matter.

and when screwing it right in is it even noticeable... or is it more like the harder scrwed in it is the more revs it needs to get the big sound ? and how loud is the loudest sound.. i want a crazy noise but i want to be able to control it so cops cant hear it if i go easy on the throttle ya know what i mean ?

Well basically if your running anything more than stock boost and you have it set about half way it is freaken loud ha ha to put it bluntly... and basically the more you turn it in it will still go off however just doesn't make no where near the noise and has more of a crazy flutter to it. Awesome BOV i have it now about 5 twists out which is fairly soft and it is loud but not really loud, it has more of the intercooler flutter which i like more anyway, but you can screw it right out to say 12 twists and it is soft as and will make good noise. Its a great bov, probably the best i have come across by far.

Nuthing man i ordered it few weeks ago on a mates credit card and forgot about it now i'm stuck with payin for it :P i told him to order it for me and he did but i cbf waiting for it to get here so i bought another one thinking i could tell him the next day to forget about it but he had already done it, so now i gotta get rid of this one.

I live in croydon dude, near ringwood if ya familiar with the area. Um i am free tomorrow all day but in the afternoon i gotta go pick up my new turbo ;) But as for price i rally can't go any cheaper dude, as its $500 bucks worth of BOV and mount i'm selling for $300 :P its a week old not to mention, have boxes and all for it so. I'd really like to get a little bit back cos i owe $400 for this other bloddy thing :) Tell ya what if this GReddy one aint good i'm gunna be spewin hardcore lol.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
