im a bit confused,

my car has 2 BOV's it has the stock one which goes back into the intake and i have a HKS SEQ as well? i have wound the boost up to 11.5psi, should i be removing the stock bov?

hey Ash

I have the same prob as u...they left my stockie on wen the put the HKS one on..

if u find out wat to do can u tell me plz :)

thanx man

SXCSKY i have the exact same setup as you! :) same place and all,

i don't know if u loose power, i think thats only if it leaks, but how do you find out?

Hey Ash...i dunno how to find out...im takin it to UAS 2day and see wat they say

Tell us if u find somethin out

cheers ;)

howdy... my skyline aint got a BOV.. but has a POD... anyways... i want a BOV on the beast and by what i have read... being a girl and all... a BOV basically could lengthen the life of ur turbo... any one object? or has reasons y i shouldn't invest in one??

u dont want Atmo bov and plumbback. coz the plumbback is known to leak over certain boost levels which will lose u boost. thats one of the reasons u upgrade to HKS or watever. as far as pressure goes, it wont make much difference since its just doubling the release of air which is good. some going back in will act like them hybrid bovs too stopping it stalling or watever coz it stil lgets air back to the AFM. but it will make the HKS quieter too probably coz not as much air coming out of it.

id remove the original i reckon. just block up the places where it goes in i.e. put blockers up any pipes that are left from it's removal. easy.

no need for 2! or yeh u could also just jam it shut somehow but easier to take it off and fill the holes with something and clamp it up nice n tight. :)

R33NismoGirl - Your car has a blow off valve standard. Has it been removed?

Ash - there is nothing really wrong with having 2 BOVs. (GTRs have 2). The factory one would have been left in place to help with maintaining the factory idle characteristics. The 2 valves will flow much better than 1 and will therefore work more effectively.

Cameron & Ash - There is a thread on these forums about modifying the stock BOV that you may find interesting.

Thats cause gtr's have 2 turbos :D hehe

yer i've herd the bov mod works good.... ?

Well I am going to disagree with a few people here then...

recently I installed a pod, K&N tapered with chrome end...have had it for about as long as they have made this model (used to be on one of my dads many drag engines) anyway it sounds awesome, good suction noise and scares the bejesus out of the od commo driver...

You CAN hear the standard bov, and it is working fine, however I have replaced the standard BOV with a GFB stealth and all I can say is giddy up...

At full plumb back it seems to hold and come on boost quicker, I am aiming to dyno to prove my point unless someone beats me to it, has already been proven on a s15...

add to this at FULL atmo the car STILL idles like factory no backfiring, no hiccups nothing, its all a matter of a bit of spring adjustment. This is only factory boost (9psi??) and I am very happy...espcially after I replaced the BOV gasket with a new one as the old one created a high pitched squel which was in fact a boost leak....

hey guys

Ok nowim confused 1 dude says its ok to have a stockie BOV with ya BLITZ BOV ...and another says seal it....and another says just switch the vacuum hose over to the BLITZ BOV .....ok guys so wat should i do then .....????? plz someone tell me way to many opinions on this subject :headspin: ....oh yeh can someone help me with the reason y i get a small backfire wen after the BOV goes off????

thanx guys :D

as far as i can see i dont have one... but i have been tol i do but it dont make noise?! i dunno i new to skylines only had it for 10 months & still learning more everyday... if someone caould give me some more info on where to find to standard BOV that would help other than that i am lost... thanx for the tips guys... i am thinking NOT 2 worry about getting one. i just got my beast back after a cracked head & head gasket lol shit happens... damn trucks!

If you have a stock airbox you won't hear the stock BOV...

i havn't got a pic to post but if you look at the pipe where the air inlet connnects to the intake manifold (near the firewall)... you'll see the stock bov with a black rubber hose coming off it.... sorry, i'm not very good at explaining but if someone can post a pic that'll show you where it is....

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
