I bought everything.. in some days I will finish my project but I see that I don't have any blow off valve!!

First of all... do you think that it is necessary for my setup?

In my previous engine I didn't have any problem (ca18det GT28R 20psi 350hp).

And if it is necessary which do you suggest me?

I will not run it higher than 27psi..

I like SARD R2D2 bov but it will work in an engine like mine?

Maybe Sard racing bov is better?

They selling this for HIGH boost aplication they said..

- High Endurance Valve Type

- Eliminate Air Leak At High Boost

- Super Hi-Response

- Easy Valve Spring Load Adjustment

But tell me for what ever bov's you use :P

I have a greddy type R and it's the only one I would reccomend (other than stock GTR's). Mine is also tightened down to the point where it only really blows off when I get up above 1.3-1.5 bar'ish. I like the flutter noise. I reminds me that I don't have a gay HKS SSQV limiting me to 1 bar of boost. I always get a kick out of some goober with a stock turbined R33 telling me I should get a BOV, and than opening the hood for them :P

yep, Greddy Type R is the way to go. It will easily bypass enough air for your turbo and boost level. and they are easily plumbed back in to the inlet or if you want they sell trumpet attachements too so you can vent it to atmosphere.

the sard R2D2 is like a toy BOV, mostly plastic. sard racing is better, but the trust Type R is better again, much bigger surface area means it can flow much more air.

trust type r here, i have the heavy spring in it and it never seems to open even on the softest setting, im running 18psi and 560hp at wheels at moment with a t04z

Agreed. The cost too atm, makes it a no brainer.

Hooking the OEM GTR ones up, takes up a lot of room unfortunately.

I got a type r for my setup it was easier to plumb in instead of the standard gtr items...I dont want to get into a debate about the no bov situation but you are seriously hurting your turbo and engine by not using one..

...its a high mount fellas... gtr bov's dont like not being plumbed back they open and shut all the time

No debate, they need to be plumbed back, but how does the turbos positioning effect it? :blink::)

An example that comes to mind is a famous dark metallic blue Perth 10sec BNR32 with a Z and OEM BOV's.

sure standard GTR is great but I would think if he's put an RB26 into an S13 the standard S13 BOV will be useless and the GTR bov is probably still with the car the engine came out of... also in an S13 it will be a bit of a hassle to mount the stock twin BOVs and their associated plumbing. so I would say in this case Trust Type R is the best and easiest way to go.

I don't have the stock gtr bov's and I cannot find any here in Greece!

Also stock are ugly and difficult to fit as I see some fotos.

Instead to pay for the stocks better to buy a Greddy!

I will go for Greddy Type R!

With strong spring or with standar?

I am not sure if it is better to return the air in the pipe between the turbo and mafs or vent it to the air.

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
