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.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
