Ok firstly I will apologise for starting the ten millionth thread on either of these issues. However, it seems it is fairly difficult to find straight answers on these questions.

I feel these topics really need straight, proven answers from ppl who have actually had hands on, real world experience with these issues, not a bunch of BS from keyboard jockeys.

Now for the first question:

When/if a plumb back becomes a restriction, at what boost levels does this generally occur?

Or (more to the point)

When is there ever a need for an atmo bov?

The second question:

Is It really worth converting to GTR ITB set-up on an RB?

I have searched the net for answers and keep getting the same 'he said, she said' load of crap that ends off topic anyway.

As already stated, only answers from users who have done these mods and have the experience to share.

Thanks in advance!

Cheers!

Adam

pretty much as above.

as plenty of threads have... leewah made over 600rwkw ob stock BOV at i believe 30+psi. so no issue.

as for ITB, arguable on the factor of cost its no fken cheap to do for the gains. IMO not worth going there till well over 350rwkw which rules out most setups.

Thanks for the fast replies!

As for the itb's, for me, cost is not an issue and i am just looking for alternatives to a modded front facing jobbie.

      If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.

      This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).

      I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
