agreed it is 50/50 whoever u talk to so personal prefrence is the choice in the end.I took off a gfb ppssshhht bov on my 96 180 for flutter and at 1 bar evryday 4 4 years it didnt kill the turbo...

I have a question to any gurus out there if can help,

I just bought a 32 4dr and it is a very good tuned street car and runs a upgraded turbo and tuned power fc with hand controller.My question is will blocking up the standard bov (previous owner kept it not aftermarket 1) "throw out" somehow or interfere with the power fc or not..

Cheers :thumbsup:

all it will do is cause is over fuelling on changes. Some times enough to try and stall when puttering around shops tho.

My Ceffy has a wicked dose I love hard intake pipes with no bov. Bovs are gay leave them to rice boys with there shopping list.

Vls are by far the dose kings though. Mine fluttered hard!

way to bring up a post thats a year old.

i can say, when i passed pits i stuck a rock between the vacum line to my hks bov stopped making noise and worked a treat to pass pits, and i didnt notice any difference apart from gay squeekyness gone.

also my mate dropped 10g's at C-RED gt3540, 6boost mani, 800cc, haltech, etc etc on his r32 rb25 and they told him not to run a bov.. tho he is running a nice big plummed back gate.

.. 400awhp (has the smaller gt3540 rear housing)

    • I鈥檓 interested in the carbon diffuser fins and Toshiba MFD screen replacement if they鈥檙e still available.
    • @GTSBoy yeah i know it was not the "great" idea but it is and option...but i think i will stay on no BoV rather then trying to make it work with "half" this and that. But that GReddy FV2 is cool...i like that you can make it like stock if you want (and have/make the custom pipes) For other thanks! it was alot of information. But for the sound...a dont rly "like" both of them...specialy if they are loud...but if i "must" choose i would rather have little whooosh rather than sutututu with no BoV....BUT that is what is i gonna get. So for the all info i gather. In my case:  No BoV is not that bad cuz it is stock...and iam used to put N/clutch right after rpms are around 1000 so it should be ok...just need to avoid "big" drops. But i do not have the engine in the car so i do not really know how "bad" or good it is. But as i had that little test drive it looked ok. The atmo BoV should be worse car would dump to much fuel specialy between the shifts...so without proper tune/ECU i dont want that. BUT with that...car should drive ok with no problems right? (i do like there is less piping wih this solution) 馃檪 
    • Usually an RB20 won't stay in closed loop idle anyway. The O2 sensor gets too cold, stops swinging.
    • They aren't, but it depends on what interests you about an R32-R34. If it's the front engine I6 turbo that tunes well with a manual transmission an E92 335i 6MT is so incredibly cheap. You can get a super clean one for 20-25k USD tops. Put an LSD in it, tune it, have fun with it. If it's the general idea of AWD + turbo and a manual transmission the 996 Turbo is absolutely much more expensive, it's less practical but it's also basically a complete track-ready car from the factory. At least the Mezger doesn't have heaps of oil control issues. And in the US the 996 Turbo and R33 GTR are roughly the same price these days. 996 maybe a bit more now that the hype has abated for old Skylines here.
