Want to know if anyone use or has tried a GFB blow off valve ? or a turbosmart item ? ... are they good ??

Anyone had good experience with any other BOV ?

i was thinking of getting a blow off valve that recirculates as well as going to atmosphere.

coz i seem to be getting more backfire since putting on my straight to atmosphere bov....

also if anyone is looking for a near new HKS SSQV blow off valve then i got one up for grab's ...

34GTt, what was wrong with your factory one? Replacement bovs are... well, you know, *cough* rice.

Some people like "ricey" stuff.....each to their own. I have a BOV for no better reason than it sounds cool.

I also have blue lights inside my foot wells etc....looks good I reckon. Ricey - maybe but who cares.

Don't get me started on Rice...

Each to thier own. I have neon's in footwells, a Blue instrument cluster, it's lowered to the ****house (can anyone say bump-stops?) and an outrageously ricey exhaust that doesn't match the engine... who cares? it's my car, i'll do with it what i dam well please.....

.. now where have my new TypeR stickers got to ??

yes the sound is nice [part of the reason i want one, but i also dont my turbo to live longer`]

also if you got the money to spare why not buy pointless ricey stuff ... it looks good :)

yeah the stock bov's are ok ... but you can feel the difference that an aftermarket bov give's ...

so infact they should actually perform better than the stock one's ??

*im using the word 'perform' so im not saying the stock one's are cr4p*

I'll one up on skyzerr33 and suggest that factory bovs won't start leaking unitl over 20 psi.

Theres no need to defend your gtr badge wearing, sticker plastered, neon lit, bov sounding rides - I'm not attacking anyone for they're choices :)

Its just a shame when nissan has made a well designed part that works and ppl replace it for no good reason (scaring pedestrians in not a good reason, imho). They then wonder why their $$$ rice part doesn't work as well as the factory part and want to know what new rice part to replace it with. The solution is obvious, bloody replace it with the factory part!

I'm not too sure on this whole improved performance angle. Unless someone can measure the deccelaration rate of the exhaust turbine before and after (or install an aftermarket bov on my car for free :( ), I'm not going to be convinced.

hehe, does anyone else here still have a stock one on and its LOUD as all hell? everythone thinks its an atmospheric aftermarket one, but its just the stockie plumbing back into the intake.

the reason for it is the aftermarket filter and it being so close to it. which also enables you to hear the turbo spool up quite nicely.

You can really hear the 2 bosch recirculating Bov's fitted as standard on my GTR, and I still have the stock airbox. If it aint broke dont fix it........

Having said that I had a Blitz super sound on my R31 and was quite fond of the psht sound. I guess I'm just a shallow rice boy at heart :D

if the stock item is so up to scratch why are there so many aftermarket products ?

and why are all the better performance car's using them ?

also stock items are designed for use in standard form

just like people changing the piston's, coolers, and air box. all the parts have a weakness when you change the conditions

if you actually compared driving with the stock item and with an aftermarket BOV, you can tell the difference ... i have done this because i have tried quite afew of them.

ANYWAY my question wasnt about if i should keep the stock valve or not ... and not to be told about being 'ricey'

I got a turbosmart type II fitted at C-Red, cost 300 for the BOV and 50 for the adapter, Roy down there put it on and plumbed it at no charge.

What I found really interesting is that the factory valve had a mitsubishi symbol on it?????

Anyways, the new vavle seems to reduce lag on gear changes, but also it's adjustable (Roy also did this when he fitted it), and the backfiring isn't too bad at all.

I would definately recommend one.

    • For fuelling the Haltechs have O2WB fuel controllers. Very useful for helping tuning VE and correcting for *small* mistakes. Of course if your injector/cam/trigger/sensor data is just wrong (or for a GTT which is not a GT) then you will get impossible reactions to things. I am sure you know this already but the reason people don't typically put haltechs (or any Aftermarket ECU) on GT's is because there's practically no real gains to be had - So this knowledge won't be commonplace.
    • Can someone tell me if the cracks seen in the rear sway bar bushings in these photo's is unacceptable from a roadworthy point of view?  
    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
