stock bov forever!

...

after an expensive lesson (thankyou so much officer - fag) with my atmo bov. the sound sure is nice but aint worth the fine for having one. you drive a skyline. people do not need to hear you because they will always see you a mile away :P its like they have a spider sense for skylines!

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...

Why are GTR BOV's less likely to leak?

Larger flow path is good for big boost i guess. Anyone know at what power/boost it's good to bin the gtst BOV for a GTR one?

Oh yeah i did search dude. It brought me here :whistling:

Hey fellas,

As most of us know, R33's stall as hell when there's a atmospheric installed - it plays with the airflow meter, mixtures and ecu settings etc which caused really bad stalling issues... I've put back my stock BOV, but I miss the nice pod-suction sound heaps and also the Sshhhhttt sound - driving a turbo without this sound really is a bit of a let-down.

I've heard though, if I get a BOV which has 2 sides - one that plumbs back and the other that vents out - I'll still satisfy the requirements of the car and will also get the nice blow-off sound.

Which ones would do the above - any suggestions, fellas?

Thanks in advance.

just get a good air filter and youll get all the noise. ive got stock BOV with just blitz air filter and i get plenti of noise check my video if u want 2 see

Yep I noticed that too when I installed my Power FC

Must be something to do with the tune - I'm all for the standard BOV but am using a SSQ at the moment for other reasons but will be going back to a standard BOV soon

I get no stalling or backfiring at all with the SSQ and Power FC

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
