well you take off the standard bov, get a flat peice of alloy or type of metal of your choosing cut to the same shape with the holes for the bolts drilled through it, cut some gasket paper and bolt it down in place of the standard bov, then block of the vac line and plumb back line

it will affect your turbo when changing gears, the air will hit the throttle body come back through the compressor blades and slow it down or stall it so you will get more lag when changing gears but you will have a fully sick sounding car......

i have a blocking plate if you want it... i can post it to you for $15.00.

to get the sound your after, you really need a bigger turbo, and a metal intake pipe to the turbo. the air reversion is what makes the noise, which you get with a bigger turbo, the stock rubber pipe cushions it and you can hardly hear it.. which is what its meant to do.

it also makes releasing the throttle, aka on gear changes or after hard accelerating, very very harsh.. especially compared to the standard bov which feels like theres nothing there.

its not worth it in my opinion.. i have only blocked off the bov to run an aftermarket one in a different spot... i kept the original one on for police issues but blocked it.

No you don't, works fine with the standard turbo and a pod filter. he

The main factor I believe to become louder is the amount of boost you run.

I have a GT35R with a metal pipe. On 10PSI (running of the wastegate spring) it wasn't loud at all, at 23 PSI, it's a different story! :laugh:

lol bugger me, everyone I know including myself has just cut out a piece of a beer can and used that to block off the stock BOV! works fine 6 months down the track. Also used a bit of liquid gasket to seal it down nicely.

find someone on crutches and steal the little rubber bit from the bottom or go bunnings :laugh:

NA is better :laugh:

    • Hi ๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™‚๏ธ. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? ๐Ÿ˜ƒ  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this ๐Ÿ™

There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
