hi was wondering if anyone has attempted to run stock gtr or gtst bov's venting to atmosphere. just did a whole lot of stuff to the car and for simplicity want an atmo bov, but i have a lot of stock ones sitting here doing crap all.

if they are ok to run atmo, i will weld those flanges on, but otherwise i have to buy a new bov.

turbos are twin gt-ss. any help appreciated

They leak at idle.

So no, they will not work in ATMO format at all.

ps. ATMO BOV's are a waste, stock ones are good for over 600rwkw (tried and proven).

Without a tune your going to potentially have backfires, stalling, all sorts of drams

standard bov are designed to recirculate on idle, so no it will not work if vented as stated.

just run without a bov if its only a short term fix.

aftermarket bov have a massive spring in them to prevent manifold vacuum from opening them on idle, but it also makes them not as efficient as standard because they have a harder time opening when they do actually need to dump the air.

whats wrong with the one on the car atm jeff??

Its possible to mount a factory GTR valve on the old GTS-t pipe where your current one is and run a plumb back return up into the bottom of the intake pipe.

Yeah, i have RB26 twin BOV's installed with my HR31/RB26 combo :laugh:

Same for R33, very much possible with not a lot of re-work, just move the BOV's to the passenger side and your laughing.

current one is a china power trust copy..

when holding speed it just pops off every 2 seconds, works fine under load but yeah its chewing fuel and knocking a bit by screwing with the a/f. spring is as tight as possible, and it still blows off even at about -10pounds of vacum if i take my foot off. the constant surging type thing occurs when trying to hold 70+kmh and continues under light acceleration until the air is chewing the fuel turbos are making.

i know i can run it back up through to the intake but it is not acheivable by me at home and i would want to run 2 gtr bov's if i was going to plumb it back in.

i was looking at buying a trust type r or something but its a lot of dough when i have 5 bovs sitting here, and was also wondering if there could be a problem with the pressure feed the bov is getting from the manifold

The problem you have is not a BOV issue. sounds like you have compressor surge now you've fitted the larger turbos. replacing the valve is not going to fix the issue.

I was actually wondering if the twins on an RB25 would cause similar surge problems to those that the RB26 suffers from.b

You seriously need to get off the run in tune and do it properly now.

The problem you have is not a BOV issue. sounds like you have compressor surge now you've fitted the larger turbos. replacing the valve is not going to fix the issue.

It could well be actually.

RB26's do get a bit of 'shuffle' going on in twin setup with atmo BOV's due to the factory ones being open early and actually stopping the shuffle

i agree, its very similar to what joeys car was doing in your driveway after his turbos went in, but its a bit constant. even if it was the bov, its caused by surging so i dont know why this thread is still going.. i just wanted to see my options and now we have. brad you have pm

when you spend months building a motor that has a lot of custom piping etc, you dont want to spend more time fabbing up something so you can plumb a stupid bov in, you just do the easiest and quickest, trust me

    • 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🙄
