stock bovs are rubbish, leaking heaps of shit, done a trip 2 brissy other weekend, running stock bov, f**kin heap of shit leaking the whole time on light throttle could hear it just in vacum, so fkn annoying

That information is WAY off..

hmmmmmmm... just thinking y u would think a piece of machinery that has been moving up and down billions of times could never break down, loose its seal...

it makes sense tho. u love dose pipes. so how could u know.

the GFB Stealth-FX is either a full atmo or plumb-back bov, fits the gtst engine no probs

you can adjust it to say 10% atmo and 90% plumb-back

I have one, it is near new and I will sell it soon (repaired the stnd bov)

I run it on my auto rb25det on full plumb-back and it sounds, well, not too bad.

never stalled the engine with it on either, but when you take the foot off the accelerator you can hear the reveberation from the released air hitting between the turbo and the afm.

Nice theory.

and it's good to see that you're brain is at least trying to work.

do me a favour.

ask the brain of yours this question, and then type up the dribble that it gives you.

ready?

"How does a blow off valve work?"

lets hear it?

ok..

I'll get you started.

bov has a piston in it.

this piston stays closed, then opens to let the air in the intake out.

it also has a small vacuum line entry point.

bov is placed on the Turbo side of the throttle body.

the vacuum line to the bov gets it's reading from the PLENUM side of the throttle body.

now you take over and explain how it all works.

No googling now.

wish i had the last 3 minutes of my life back.

leave the standard one on.

do a search man..

aparently it is WELL documented that the stock ones are shit and that a good AEM (which is a UNIVERSALLY USED Acronym of rAftermarket Equipment Manufacturer - don't you know anything) bovs are the way to go..

and I can give you your 3 minutes back if you like.

I can travel back in time and take you with me if you like..

I saw a little asian guy do it by shutting his eyes and trying really hard to fart.. then pop.. he disapears and re-apears in the another time..

you want in?

    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo   
    • Very hard to make out what you mean, is it the squarish hole with redline shockproof (probably) under it? Is that pic from on top of the engine with the firewall to the left of pic and engine to the right? Either way, spray the area liberally with degreaser and try again, maybe circle the part you are worried about
