Hey guys,

I did a quick search but couldn't really find anything that detailed what needs to be done to fit GTR bov's to my R34 GTT engine.

From what i understand, GTR's use a twin bov system, which means i would need to get some custom piping done. Basically i just wanted to know if anyone has done this before and what was involved, or if not, if someone knows what exactly would need to be done to fit them?

Cheers,

Martin

Oh, really? I thought they needed the twin setup to work properly? Although to be honest i don't understand why...

So you can just use one and they fit straight on to where the RB25 one was? Still sound the same as they do on a GTR? Sound isn't important, i just think they sound awesome, so if they sound the same then thats a bonus :blink:

the hose can be "made" to fit..

needs more lube and pushing

Are we still talking about the bov? :blink:

Lol, thanks guys, so i can use a single GTR bov and it is a straight bolt on replacement for the RB25 one, no modification needed?

What diameter piping does the GTR bov use compared to the RB25 bov, do you know? Don't have the new engine yet, so can't go measure for myself :)

Hey guys,

Just wondering if running a single GTR bov will produce the same sound as running the twin set up? I just absolutely love the sound of the GTR bov's, but if it's not gonna sound the same with a single bov then i want to try and get two working...

This is the sound i am after:

that 2nd youtube video is great but they arent stock bovs. the stock ones wont give flutter.

I've been told that's not actually flutter, it's the turbulence created by the air flowing from the two bov's into the single return pipe. My mates GTR sounds exactly like this and the bovs are definitely stock on his car

GTR BOV's will "teeter" off each other etc, however one will cleraly not do that on its own.

This is what a single will sound like if the BOV can't quite pas all the air (this was a single on mine, it was ok, tiny flutter)

Ok but that still sounds quite similar to the twin setup. I'm not really after the flutter effect, just the sound of the bov. Does your bov sound like that all the time, or just under heavy load?

Say i wanted to install the twin setup on my car, what would need to be done? Is it possible? How would it differ to the single setup?

Hi Guys, sorry to hijack the thread but are you using GTR bovs on RB25DET's just for noise or is there another purpose?

Will the standard RB25DET one handle 300rwkw?

MOST people don't use them just for the noise, rather the fact that they are a very very good bov and can handle a lot of boost. I personally love the sound of them, i think they are the best sounding bov you can get. So i'm going for the upgrade, but really want the sound as well seeing as they sound so good.

Whats wrong with your GTT bov? When does it max out power wise?

Honestly i wouldn't know, engine will only be going in next week sometime :P

Stock GTT bov would be more than capable for me at first, i will only be running 12psi when i first get it back. But once i get the new turbo i will be running 18psi+, so i would like the GTR bov to have the peace of mind handling that boost.

If you're not after the sound then really i wouldn't worry about upgrading unless you are having problems with your bov.

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
