I am looking to upgrade my standard BOV and just came across the new Turbosmart dual port kompact series. I got a 32 gts-t and just wanted to know if anyone has it one their 32. Really liking this opposed to the straight plumb back.

Cheers

Basically I need to change my standard BOV due to a boost leak. I just wanted to know if anybody is running the new Turbosmart dual port BOV kompact series because that the one that interest me the most because it does both performance and sound(only at full boost). If I cant run that I will probs run a plumb back.

Not sure on the turbosmart BOV but if you want a good sounding BOV that performs id definately recommend the Greddy RZ. i had an RS on my R34 and was definately the goods and sounded really good and the RZ is just a newer version.

Ill be getting it for my R33 Eventually lol

ATMO can give you backfire/return to idle/overfuelling issues in a lot of cases.

So it's always best to stick with re-circ for those reasons if you are using a AFM still...

On the re-circ, a single GTR BOV will hold 25psi+ and is a bolt-on job (mine was fine for 370rwkw/24psi)

So doing the same job as a Greddy re-circ item for about 1/3 the price. Only thing is it's not shiny which can be a good or bad thing depending on what you want :P

I got a Greddy Type RS copy BOV (Autobahn88) because it was cheap and i was sick of the sound the stock one made. Its plumbed back and it works pretty well, and i didnt pay the earth for it.

If your intent on getting a dual port turbosmart, they make a direct bolt on one for skylines (Its black and silver) but its pricey at $450

Id suggest GTR or another Stock BOV unless ur sick of the noise like i was haha

Turbosmart will do fine. Installed one on a mates car.

plumbed back-Imagine the VTA psscchhhh sound, but much quieter.

Not sure how you will go IF you VTA it. I have never had a problem VTA'ing and neither have any of my mates.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
