well i had the really cool sucking sound from the pod but got rid of that and wacked in a K&N panel filter and now its all too quite for me lol

so i was wondering before i go and spend money on a aftermarket bov

does any one here have an aftermarket bov not laying around not being used that i could possibly borrow for the weekend to see how it suits me??

also by installing a GTR BOV would there be any sound difference at all or not really???

thank you all

lol nah man to much heat soak. as from taking the plumb back line off and blocking it. i want a BOV thats plump back but makes a little noise to.

is that gonna be possiable?

Im in rowville too. I have a 33 with a HKS SSQ BOV installed, so I dont have any problem catching up and taking you for a quick spin if you want to hear what its like. Kicks in very early, pretty high pitched sound.

PM me if youre interested.

PS: ill only be able to check forums while im at work so if you msg me after 5pm today then I wont get it till monday.

I think my cousin has a HKS SSQ BOV laying around because his engine is in pieces at the moment.

If you want to give it a shot I can borrow it off him for you, was going to put it on my car but not much of a BOV fan my self :dry:

Keep in mind though, SSQ is atmo, and the SSQ is fkn louuuuud!

Ummmm.......yer and how's that different from any other BOV? :ermm:

Hahaha!

ash, does ur k&n make a high pitch whistle?

mine did

nah it dosnt man. since i got the dump pipe and high flow cat installed i can hear the turbo spool just a lil but no noise what so ever from the filter.

lol i dont mind the sound from the exhaust and motor im getting now but just a lil psshhh would be could also once in a while lol

As usual some uninformed "know-it-all" has to put in his 2c worth, but runs when asked to explain :)

Keep your bullshit to yourself

How about I speak for him and say that by not plumbing your BOV back you create what I would not call an "air leak" because it's still fine when on boost but you still release metered air if you are using an AFM. This means the car runs momentarily rich each time the BOV releases some air.

It's not rocket science, quite frankly I can't understand why people go out of their way to make their cars effectively run worse just for that wanker sound.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
