Bov Question

[Simon-S14]

I just put a 3071R on my rb25 and its used for track work and drift, I still have the stgock BOV, and was operating with the stock turbo etc no probs there, Now i have a custom intake pipe i have blocked the BOV up for now, my questions are... Should i hook the stock bov back up? Or will it not cope with 17-18 psi... Should i leave it?

if the stock one wont do, whats the easiest replacement option? I dont care about noise or anything, i just want everything to work as it should

[R31Nismoid]

GTR is easiest, cheapest and most effective IF the stock one fails (might/might not)

Its bolt on, or near enough. I've posted some info on it.

cheers

if your car doesnt run an airflow meter, then ive got a turbosmart vee port you can snap up.... i dont reakon a std one would hold down 18psi of gt30, if it did, for how long?

[Simon-S14]

yeah ive got an AFM so kinda rules out anything that vents

[dead32]

then gtr bov is a go'er, honestly they dont cost much and atleast you know its not leaking. "provided theyre in working order.

[Simon-S14]

nice, i shall track one down then!

cheers

gfb make a "steath" bov that has vented and plumback options. You can just adjust the bov so it purely only vents back into the plumback, my bro has one on his r33, seems to do the job nicely.

*waits for the mafia re: gt30 and 300rwkw and stock bov*

hahaha

[johnbarry88]

with mods to the std bov it will handle 20psi easy why not use 2 rb25 bov cheap and will do the job

I put my stock BOV between a vice, 16PSI all day, no leaks

throw it away, bov and drift is a pain in the ass... dulls throttle response when rapid on off on off inputs

[Simon-S14]

Love the ghetto mitsubitchy mods.

[GeeTR]

LoL, cough up, i wanna know more about this BOV & Vice mod - do i need a pony?

Love the ghetto mitsubitchy mods.

WTF??? I used information from this forum to perform that mod... I believe mad082 was the one who recommended the mod.

Makes total sense, compress the cap, i.e. preload the spring, more pressure on piston.

[DRD-00F]

The BOV is made by Mitsubishi...

But yeah, squash the cap down, that's where the spring is attached to the BOV housing, so lowering it closer to the piston gives it a shorter throw, basically, stiffening it up... works well for boost leaking problems...
