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.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
