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.

- 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...

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
