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 ...

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.

      spot the stagea

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.

      OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
