I have a very basic knowledge of how atmospheric & plumb back BOV's work, but what I am wondering is how do you go about choosing one that is best suited for your style of driving. i.e. normal street driving, drag, or drift. Is there one type that is best suited for a specific purpose? or is it mearly "that looks good, I like that one" :D Also would the type of BOV depend on the turbo and the amount of horse power it produces?

agreed with the above and it wont get you in any trouble with the law! doesn't really matter on the type of application e.g drifitn/drag etc, if you want a strong reliable bov that has both plumb back or vent to atmosphere, go something like the GBS stealth FX. H

Im also a rookie so go easy :P....I bought my car with an atmo blow off and 3.5inch exhaust...id like to attract a LIL less attention lol

The blow off is FREAKIN loud...do different brands and models of Atmo bovs make a louder noise? As in can i get a different atmo blowoff so that i can keep that rice pssst that you guys all hate so much...but not as loud? or should i just go back to std?

if its a Turbosmart one (like mine) you can twist the end of the BOV in to make the noise 'softer', or out to make it 'harder'. When it's on soft, you won't get that noise unless you're on WOT just about, and the other extreme, well you dont get any dosing at all, its a constant pschhh every time you lift your foot off the throttle.

Hey guys, I don't want to steal this thread but I also don't want to make another topic ...so please forgive my questions nimmo and i'll try to keep it short...

1. How much boost or rwkw can a gtst bov take?

2.I changed my gtst bov to a gtr as I have a bigger turbo... but I want a little more noise (not huge) because I can barely hear the gtr one... anyway to get it abit louder without going atmo?

Thanks!

Get your mechanic to remove the aftermarket BOV and install the standard one back on, then install an air pod and you will get the nice 'choo' noise and a wicked sucking noise.

Aftermarket BOV do F*** all and just makes noise.

Only time I would use an aftermarket one is on a track, drift car when running very high boost or push the GTR one before the limit.

Adriano if you are talking to me I already have a pod and apexi power intake... I want the sound as loud as the gtst was on mine... but with a bigger turbo now running about 12-14psi and in my next tune I may be going higher and power levels will be roughly 250rwkw... didn't know if the gtst one would take it so I put on a gtr one...

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
