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.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
