I have a gtst r33 S2 and wanting to get a atmo BOV but dont know which one to go for since have heard about stalling issues. Car is pretty much stock engine and stock ecu besides exhust system. Which would be the best bov to get that wont cause stalling?

thanks

all atmospheric one will cause you to have stalling issues,

But if you wish to get a atmospheric venting one i would recomend the turbosmart Dual-port one. this is because you cau set the BOV to vent to atmosphere, be plumbed back, or it can do both at the same time.

stock is good, same as gtr bov

if you want aftermarket I could suggest a GFB Stealth-FX atmo/plumb-back (100% adjustable) bov, nice sound, no stalling issues on plumb back mode

full atmo isnt a good idea IMHO, at the least some sort of adjustable one to get the 'mixture" of atmo/plumb back correct

+1 For stock bov, or GTR one.

I have a GFB Stealth FX and atmo sounds great. Plumb back is also good, nice and fluttery. If you put it half way you can have a quieter atmo sound.

I had it on atmo for a while and never had an issue with stalling, it did feel weaker though like the intake feel was different.

Just keep the stock on, or get a GTR one, and replace the stock airbox with a pod.

An atmo is just going to give you the shits after a while anyway.

I cant see the point in spending money on a aftermarket BOV?? its a bit of money to drop for just a sound...

Spend the money on a frontmount intercooler!

ok, ive heard that some say if you adjust the BOV correctly that it will eliminate the stalling issue, is that true or is the dual port the only way? Quote

no matter what you do to adjust the BOV you will still have to stalling problem. i would recomend a dualport one, because if you do get sick of the sound that it makes you can very simply pull the trumpet off the BOV and cover the port with the backing plate.

Keep the stock BOV and replace your air box with an Air Pod.

A pod will give you the 'Choo' noise and only when the turbo is Spooling.

If you get an aftermarket BOV it will "AARRCCHOOO" even when you are not boosting = Wank Factor

Or save the cash and go for a front mount intercooler. You will be benefiting the car a lot better.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
