HEY!!! kr1shhhhhhh! wats wrong wit driving a camry. I drive a camry, not that it's my choice or mine. Although i'm gettin my skyline in a few weeks, i love my parent's camry coz it takes me to uni without me having to spend ages taking public transport!!

Long live the camry :P

Coming from someone who has never owned a turbo car (YET). I have to say that everytime I hear it (BOV) I love it and feel jealous and it makes me really want a Turbo.

When I get my Turbo I will have to put a BOV on it. Perhaps an adjustable one.

To me it's similar to preferring the look of the 911 rear with the "Turbo" badge over the 911 rear without it!

LOL.

Thats awesome!!! Gotta love it!

Hey pentae not trying to argue or anything i like BOV's it adds some originality and distinguishes a car. Do u like exhausts cause the "wank factor" associated with them is far worse than BOV's along with systems and stuff. Its what u like. It still sounds mad with the stock plumb back tho...

Pentae, the only wanker I can see here is you. Why do you care so much what other people do to their cars? I personally don't like GTR badges on GTS-t's, but if someone wants to do it, I won't care or abuse the owner because of it. I also don't like loud PSSSHT bov's, but I have an atmo bov myself because it came with the car. It only goes off under hard revs though, just driving normally you can't hear it and I like it that way.

Also, you need to learn a bit more about how bovs actually work. If you remove it completely, you can get a fluttering noise out of your air filter as the air bounces off the throttle body and gets chopped up by the turbo on the way back out. Does this sound also make the car owner a wanker?

You really need to show more tolerance because if you ever go on a cruise you're likely to get into an argument with half the car owners there that have bovs.

i reckon a properly setup BOV that is actually doing something beneficial rather than just purely for the PSSSHHHHTTT is cool. There's and idiot rex owner that lives near me that has one of those megasonic pos bov's and it just sounds lame, goin around a corner at like 10km and theres this huge sound coms from his car like its jus been pelted by 50 bajillion waterbombs.

Why do you care so much what other people do to their cars? Lets pretend these people are trying to look cool and impress people… so what, who cares? Sure it might be a little silly but why does it annoy you so much? I sense a little bit of an inferiority complex here…

I don’t particularly like bovs but I don’t really dislike them either. Each to their own I guess….

Bov’s do serve a purpose though… why else do you think so cars come with them stock?

Hey Gerby,

Actually nothing pleases me more than to wax some idiot in a WRX or even a skyline at the lights who has a A/M BOV.. If there was no BOV's it would be no fun out there. :)

I just personally think they are lame and was seeing what everyone else thought.

Meh :D

Y`all gotta remember, theres 500,000 17 year olds out there (who dun know nuffin) who phink BOV`s are tha bomb.

Whhooosh... ....whooosh.... extacsy. And all for $200 giv or take $200...

So as long as there are 17 year olds... theres gonna be cringe-worthy shite happening to cars.

IMO BOV`s should be plumbed back on sub-200kw cars.

Seems alot of people in here are uni students..... To me, it still means kids... I think the main people, and most important people who are not big fans of bov's, are the transport department, and the cozza's.. and thats all that really matters on this issue. Im sure, when a turby vehicle goes by with bov action, weather your walking, talking or farting, your gonna look and go, "cool.... turbo dude!" There is a possible chance you would even give them the thumbs up aswell. Your not gonna go "f*****g wank!" Why? Because were all turbo vehicle owners.. better than bombadore and falcoon owners. Oh, pentae, dont let the females from uni play with your mind.. seems thats whats happened with this post...

i am part of the "kids" group and i must say i still am a fan of the old bov, mainly because i dont have one

but when i hear them on shittie cars its just not right

if the car looks really nice thats different then it suits otherwise not really

thats my random thoughts anway

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
