i have had them in a s13, a mates r33/ 34, and my r33. it looks good and stops all twist..

but i wouldnt go so far as to say it gives u more power/torque.

edit= its definitely worth it. im saying this because it stops the twist. this has to be very helpful to the engine mounts.

wouldn't really bother unless your producing bucket loads of torque or hit boost hard.

dont do SFA, some have said they noticed a sliiigghhttt better response, but they probably had dodgy mounts :banana:

waste of money, but they do look cool :D - but then ontop of that they can make your car vibrate

My R33 came with one (hehe) so i can't tell how effective it is...but i know it's probably extended the life of my engine mounts and also firms up the engine when i'm turning hard. It helps balance out (only slightly) the engine and nose-end handling.

They're not that expensive and look good.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      By nouveau_poor · Posted

      Hi everyone, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and have been trying to find out the cause. For context, the turbos used are Garrett 2860 -5s, the BOV is a BNR32 HKS SSQV IV kit, the car is currently tuned to ~470 whp on 17.5 psi. The car drives normally, pulls well when it doesn't happen, and I can replicate it fairly easily. It does not sound like turbo shuffle or flutter. The engine has only a thousand or so miles and has had this behavior since it was completed. After my engine was built for my R32 GTR, I noticed that the car now sometimes makes an air discharge sound on what appears to be positive boost pressure that sounds really similar to a BOV. I had thought that it was a BOV issue but even when replacing it with a brand new unit, the sound persisted. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side but I may be mistaken. The closest scenario I could find was this post here https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/ started by @yakshii and it sounds very similar. As in, at partial throttle once I reach positive boost I begin to hear the same psh psh psh psh psh sound like air is leaking somewhere when I keep the throttle in the same position. It most commonly happens in 4th gear at around 3-3.5k RPM and 5th gear around 2.5-3k RPM, which seems to coincide with normal positive boost thresholds. It might be similar to what @Austrian GTR mentioned about his own HKS SSQV. Notable difference would be that when he applies more throttle when it happens, it stops. In my scenario if I apply more throttle during this repeated psh psh psh sound, the cadence of the sound gets faster and louder rather than stopping. If I lift off slightly and apply throttle again, it will normally stop and pull without issue. I've checked all rubber couplers to ensure that they are tight, but have not gotten the opportunity to properly do a pressurized boost leak test. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts on what might be the cause, I'd be very keen to hear them. I also have a video of it happening from inside the cabin, if that would make it easier to understand: https://youtu.be/2zqZXcx8jbA

      That's incorrect. We have 4 seasons, consisting of pre winter, winter, post winter and a small glimpse of hope!
