Hell no! someone must have some fight left in em, i want drama! The ruse, the stake holders, the slapping and then the back peddling's, tis a tale of passion and ignorance, "to the forest Willow! to the forest!"

Your views are interesting to me and I would like to subscribe to your weekly newsletter.

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...

i dunno... engines seem to go up and down millions of times and not break down that often, unless you cane the fark out of them.

other than the excess noise creation, the other downside to having an Atmo is that you have to overcompensate your idle so as not to stall (hence the retunes and idle adjustments being suggested).

At the end of the day, the factory BOV is just a gas valve... most are built to last years of repeated use. If you want one to hold the pressure more don't bash your BOV in, just put get one with a stiffer spring rate (some turbo diesel ones for example) or a reducer in the recirculation tube.

(Spunky Munky) are you running a pod filter? because you said you were after 'suction noise' and as far as i know BOV's don't make suction noise.

Hey Tai, yeah that's the weird thing... I do have a nice Apexi Power Intake POD Filter sucking via a AFM. But for some reason, with an atmospheric BOV it has the nice suction sound and the sshhttt 'blow off' sound - whereas with a stock plumbback - nothing, just a very soft blowing sound and that's about it... Why is this??

Any suggestion?

just get a metal enclosure for the pod........I have apexi pod as well, and its sealed in a metal enclosure I made. I thought it would quiet the nosiy bastard down but noise wise, it was probably slightly louder. On the bright side, should run cooler air temperature.

as for the phssst, I got plenty of that...........even the pidgeon flutter sound.....all on my mad hektic stock bov.

Genuine HKS SS BOV $400

HKS copy BOV $150

Having stock BOV and still manage to sound as sick as the cnut next you....................PRICELESS

Hey mate, help me out... how the heck did you manage this???

I want the nice ssshhttt sound.... man, seriously.... with the stockie, there's no longer a nice Sshhttt let off sound....

Damn it....

I think the point everyone's trying to get thru to you is that the noise you make due to the air being recirculated into your intake by a factory valve, has more to do with a pod and intake pipe material/surrounds than with the actual recirc valve itself.

Hey fellas, I am going to install a Greddy Emanage onto my car next month and get a full tune - was wondering if a tune would make a HKS Atmo BOV work with stall? I really like the sound and responsiveness of the HKS BOV - but was wondering if it would still stall?

Cheers.

Too easy, your on the mailing list ;) Its sent out on the Thursday of every week.

This week we tackle issues such as

- FPR: Is there any benefit to aftermarket units in environments with wildly fluctuating engine loads

- Achievements / Ego: Have you just make 350rwkw and now suffer a dramatic drop of forum etiquette and common human decency when contributing? We discuss here

- Running Man: Is running from the cops a good idea in a Skyline? See readers accounts

- Scrunch or Fold: We benchmark the most common toilet paper brands and put them through a rigorous ring cleaning regime to give you the facts you need

- 007: We review the unethical act of making bogus SAU accounts and posting replies to your own comments

- pH: Pub brawler Regee, lets us in on some tips for removing vomit induced acid burns off car duco

Fellas, I have decided to go for this BOV... I had a similiar one and it worked fine as I'll go 50/50 - never lagged before.

Was wondering, if I have an universal adaptor for a R33 (the one that looks a bit like the link below)

Would the following BOV bolt straight on or will I need anything else?

Can someone please confirm the above?

Thanks.

wtf is a Mars BOV? Do you really want something regulating pressure in your car that seems to be made of recycled coke cans in a third world country run by a military dictatorship?

stick to a known brand and lay off the ebay garbage. we don't want you starting a thread a few months down the track goin "omfg, my BOV imploded and chunks of it went into my intake/turbo/intercooler/engine".

Hey fellas,

I'm new to this forum and have owned two S1 Stageas but no Skyline..funny that.

I have encountered the same issues with an Apexi twin chamber atmospheric BOV and Sard R2D2.

I did some intensive research and did the trial and error thing, that nearly got me committed to Graylands.

All that is said above is true and the way I found a good reliable fix is to buy a SAFC-II or neo and up the deceleration air setting to +1. This could also work with a fully tuned aftermarket computer or even a HKS EIDs. Depends how far you want to go with tuning and what you are willing to spend. It also occurred on my GTiR, but used the HKS Eids fix..much cheaper.

Everyone wants a series 2 manual and Perth is a ripoff, Queensland is getting better with S2s & M35s but what about the lesser fortunate people on a budget with S1 auto's!

This is a great fix for Stageas and I am assuming on R33's that don't want to go plumback-I stand by it, gotta luv the signature noise!!

By the way found an M35 six speed manual the other day at auction..interesting as well as pricey

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
