sorry to dig up the thread... but a mate of mine just directed me to the TiAL Alpha Q Pumbback BOV. It seems to be the beesknees of all plumb backs.

they also sell it without the v band flange so you can run it inline.

Alpha Q Recirculating Blow-Off-Valve

High Flow and a Happy MAF Sensor

New for 2008 is the first ever recirculating blow-off-valve offered by TiAL. This unique 50mm BOV flows 6% more than the current vent-to-atmosphere BOV we offer, bolts on to any standard TiAL 50mm flange (slip-fit beaded ends will also be available so you can run it in-line with couplers). It will be available in all current colors we offer. Check back for more information to be released.

Whoah, what a thread to bring up, hilarious stuff.

Per title "best plumb back" Everyone has their preferences. Cheap, name brand aftermarket device that works, the Trust R is hard to beat.

They're like 230 clams, almost half that of a local made Turbosmart one. Compact and simple, does the same recric job a BOV is sposed to, but in a smaller form factor then stock. This is for a spritley BNR32 though where the twins, plus the y pipe take up a heap of room where a o.coiler should be :P

Hi.

For those who are having problems with 100% atmospheric blow off valves, give the 50/50's a go, yes the problem will still be there as some of the air that has allready been measured will not not reach the engine, but it wont be as bad as a full atmo valve, plus you still get your "pchhhh" sound that you like.

If you really want the sound, and dont want to affect drivablility, just get a full plumb back Bypass Valve, and get one of those BOV noise generators.

This way you still get your noise, retain good driveability and it will end up being cheaper.

Too easy, your on the mailing list :thumbsup: 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

Funniest shit I have ever read on the forum!

Any takers on this one?

I'll bite...short answer...they have larger flow paths and are less likely to leak...they are also interchangeable but you need a larger plumback pipe...

But if you had searched you would have found your answer...

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
