how do i make my car make pretty noisess. my mates mates bros car has flutter.

joking

anyway just some advice basicly my new setup has aftermarket plenum and turbo etc, so i want to keep the piping nice and pretty, so recirculated bov is out of question because i dont want some ugly pipe from plenum to intake pipe. means i will have to run an venting bov.

2 questions.

1st. should i also put the afm into the intercooler pipe on the cold side? and should this be placed closer to the throttle body before the bov so. plenum => throttle body => afm => bov => cooler

2nd. is there any venting bov which is silent and doesnt make every1 look at u when it has its hecktic "WOOOSHH POSSHHH LOOK @ ME IM GAY"

1. aftermarket front facing plenum.

2. trust turbo, trust turbos dont like no bov.

3. for a track drift car, so when i come into a corner top of 3rd and lift off pedal so the car doesnt stall and i crash n die.

you have a Plazmaman Plenum dont u think the recirculate pipe is ugly as?

get a flange welded onto your cooler piping and mount your bov behind one of the headlights (i have myne on the drivers side) and run the recirc pipe behind the cooler and back up with the piping into the intake pipe. atmo bovs and afm's dont go together too well most of the time

Ugh i know what you mean, just bought a 33 with a fully hektic BOV.. I would be fine with it at the track or something (I am childish at heart and the noises make me giggle ;) ) but for the street it is serious cop bait!

Simple two answers. Dont move the AFM, no idea why you are considering that. And no atmo bov will be quite.

He's considering it because when you do a draw through set up like he's talking about, it prevents stalling when the BOV does it's thing, and many people have problems with turbulence in the intake piping when they use a MAF on a top mount set up due to space considerations and not being able to keep the MAF far enough away from the turbo.

OP--of all the BOV's I've seen going VTA, the Greddy Type R seems the least obnoxious to me. It's a relatively large orafice it vents through so it's quiet'ish and decidedly not "chirpy". I'm completely with you on your taste of BOV noise (or lack there of).

Hey,

I don't think a re-circulating system is out of the question.

The BOV can be placed at any point between the compressor and the throttle plate(s) - it doesn't need to come off the plenum.

So you could put it right near the turbo outlet and run a short pipe back to the inlet (downstream of the AFM), can still be pretty.

2 questions.

1st. should i also put the afm into the intercooler pipe on the cold side? and should this be placed closer to the throttle body before the bov so. plenum => throttle body => afm => bov => cooler

If you do this, a re-circulating setup from the perspective of measuring air becomes useless - you can't re-inject the air downstream of the AFMs anymore.

2nd. is there any venting bov which is silent and doesnt make every1 look at u when it has its hecktic "WOOOSHH POSSHHH LOOK @ ME IM GAY"

Not really. The bigger the outlet pipe diameter, the less velocity/noise - but I haven't seen a 10" BOV. The more boost, the more noise upon release.

If you are going to keep the AFM setup, and you think a BOV is essential, then leave the AFM upstream of the compressor and put a re-circ system into place.

I'm sure someone can make this pretty for you (and you won't have to explain why your car sometimes tries to set fire to the cars behind it to the po-po).

Or if the current pipework is finished and you really really don't want the noise, leave the BOV off entirely.

Or if you want a justification for fitting an atmo BOV - man up, you don't need one. Just fit what you want ;)

Regards,

Saliya

i never really took much notice in other peoples setup.

what do most peopple do with highmount setup with forward facing plenums?

i was planing to go no bov but then my turbo choice changed to a trust, and i know heaps of peopole with trust setups with no bov and they all need rebuilding LOL

well I'm running a T518Z on my silvia with all metal intake and cooler piping and no BOV. no problems at all from the turbo but you'll need to be prepared to live with some chronic tutututututu everytime you lift of the throttle or change gear. I haven't seen any ill effect from not having a BOV on it but I think I might add one purely to get rid of the insane noises it makes....

lol. I think they need a lesson in turbo charger operation basics. compressor surge is a phenomenon that occurs where a compressor is producing more airflow at a point where the engine cannot ingest it. it also occurs in twin turbo engines and is sometimes refereed to as turbo shuffle etc. it is eliminated by carefully reviewing compressor maps and choosing the right turbo and some manufactures also add small bypass holes (anti surge covers/slots/etc) to combat it too as the turbo is spooling up. as for the turbo spinning in the other direction. rofl. that would be a neat trick to stop a compressor AND turbine wheel that are spinning at 100,000rpm and linked by a common shaft and make them turn the other way in a split second even though there is constant pressure on the exhaust side keeping it turning the same way..... I would like to see them demonstrate that.

by their logic my turbo must be super fked by now. it's been running without any kind of bov since new and by now must be just as good at spinning backwards as it is at spinning forwards. imagine that. every time I lift off the throttle my turbo spins backwards and forces exhaust gas back into my engine and at the same time is sucking air and fuel out of the intake and blowing it out the pod filter. bummer dude.

Hahaha!

Seriously, the whole "BOV" and "dose" and "compressor surge" thing is probably the most misunderstood and misleading bunch of shit read about on the internet.

I run a BOV on mine, but it is wound up that tight it hardly ever goes off unless im on full noise, which is the way i like it.

The car will only "stall and die"  if your clutch is in. 

I don't run a bov,   mine can stall between gears but only if there is a reasonable load on the engine and I change gears really slowly.

Not when lifting off and still in gear.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
