Bov And Manual Boost Controller

guys..!

i have a manual boost controller and a GFB BOV...

and i do NOT know how to fit them, was wondering if anybody out there would want to do it for me in exchange for a couple of brewies or $$$ and if nobody can do that or can be bothered to do it tell me how much it will cost at a workshop?

also, my GT-T has a standard boost gauge, would i have to get one that runs over 1 bar to use the boost controller more efficiently and are there any problems if i use the standard one?

(reason i ask this i think stock i'm running 7psi but i wish to run at around 12psi...)

the BOV apparently has to get welded on to my engine too, it's just the trumpet thing and i don't have an aftermarket cooler SO...

any suggestions out there? for those that don't know me i'm not the most literate person mechanially

all advice will be genuinely appreciated, thank you

Andrew :D

hey mate,

I wouldn't go running your car at 12 psi without a bigger intercooler otherwise you could get engine knock which is bad also would suggest getting an aftermarket boost guage as that way you can monitor the boost better than the stock one. Running the car at about 10 psi should be fine and not cause any damage to the engine.

The bov should just bolt up where the stock one goes but not knowing too much about rb25s i wouldn't be able to tell you.

If wou need a hand with anything send me a pm and i can help you out

just a precaution but if you wind up your boost you should get it on a dyno to check air/fuel ratios. so it is better to get a workshop to do the lot. i use IN TUNE PERFORMANCE. they are in the workshops list below. he charges 88/hr and about 80 bux for a check on the dyno

hey guys, thanks for the kind advice...

guy, everything's always easy isn't it? haha so how about that suspension?

i don't think i can live without my suspension man!

umm... matty, i'll send you a pm... i can't afford $88 an hour right now especially for a job like this so i'm sure me and you can work something out...

if anybody else out there has any nice words they'd like to say you're more than welcome to, please do so...

Suggestion: Get an adaptor if you want to install the bov or use silicone pipe! Backyard welding doesnt look the best and you dont want your r34 to look like sh*t under the hood do you? Be wise and get it done properly the first time!!! Save if you have to!

what do you need done to your suspensions?

if your changing to coilovers or something like that it is really easy job, just need a socket set, a jack and about 1hr of your time (maybe less, maybe more)

but remember if you change any suspension parts you will need a wheel alignment, i changed to a different set of coilovers and ended up with some massive toe out

lol guy is the one that is after suspension...

i have mine in yet i have no f*cking clue what type os setup it is *shakes head* god i'm useless...

alright wel i'm set about getting the BOV and MBC in, i'm also thinking (and hope all you guys out there can help me with this one)...

my car is due for it's major service (100,000km's) so should i save up some $$$ and get the FMIC and get all 3 (FMIC, BOV and MBC) all in at once then tune it at the same time with my major service and has ANYONE got ANY idea as to how much this will cost and how much longer i can drive my car until i SERIOUSLY need to change the stuff for the major service...?!?!

danny at imports101 changed a lot of my stuff around before he sent the car to the pits, only things he said i needed to change was the timing belt and i think that's it, all the filters and coolers and fluids and everything were already done i think around 8,000km's ago...

never mind, any idea how much my mechanical desires will set me back?

rough estimate is okay, will go to danny i think for the major service and fitting of all that stuff

cheers,

Andrew

if someone has a reasonable offer then yeah i'm selling the car...

BUT i'll be doing things slowly if nobody buys yet ie. FMIC, BOV, MBC and also probably different kit + paint and some interior goodies etc.

you guys know how it is, for now though i've had some offers that aren't tempting enough so i might play with the car until i see a cash offer

i'll be ringing a few workshops tomorrow eh

hey also andrew if you wanted to do it yourself or not have to pay a garage to do it my housemate and i would do it for a small fee (only because timing belts are time consuming to change) we live just around the corner of where you saw us the other day. Send me a PM if your interested

      Hypergear Turbochargers and High flow Services Development thread

      By hypergear · Posted

      I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.

      Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?

      Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
