Ye soz - where it is, as stated, is fine mate.

Im running 270/280rwkw, not a problem - 8,000km's as it is.

What recirc BOV are you using?

GTR BOV's cost for gain, are unbeatable value.

Even a single GTR BOV is good for 300rwkw or so. Much more 2 is advisable as you get a tiny bit of surge (i was when running 24psi/370rwkw on single GTR BOV)

It is currently running a turbosmart supersonic bov & was looking of replacing it with the same brand but in a plumb back system. Are GTR bov alot better in quaility then turbosmart ?

I can't comment on the quality comparison, but I've not heard of one issue with people using GT-R BOV's. When I was looking for one a couple of days ago, I got a heap of people offering to sell me one so you'll have no issues finding it...people run BIG BOOST with these BOVs on their GTRs and never have trouble.

Quick bump to ask something...

So I received the GT-R BOV off a fellow forum member yesterday...fitted it to the car, but didn't get a chance to drive it until work this morning...

First gear change with ANY throttle gave me HEAPS of flutter...gave it a tiny bit more and changed again, more flutter...I was also noticing it would idle anywhere between 1500 - 2000rpm...

Didn't take it into +manifold pressure at all the whole way, and when I pulled up at work I'd done exactly as I thought - left the manifold pressure line to the BOV disconnected. My question is, would this have been running even remotely lean since this was just sucking air when idling? I figured even if it were, it wouldn't have done anything bad since I drove like I didn't even have a right foot all the way to work (only about 5 minute drive so car barely gets warm)

bump again..

After taking the car for a spin back home on my lunch break, I got to hear the actual sound created by the BOV...is it supposed to sound the same as a short sharp whistle that you'd create with your mouth, then just like a quiet hiss until you get back onto boost?

I also noticed that it does not fully close off the hole when there is no pressure applied from either side...does this mean it will be constantly leaking? particularly since I don't run a return pipe?

    • If you have a RB25DET NEO AWD motor, you will need this: https://www.hioctanedirect.com/ASR-RB26-RWD-Street-Comp-6.5L-Sump-Suit-R32/33/34-and-VL It is made for the AWD motor, but makes it fit a RWD setup and gives you a new pickup. Just one thing, the pickup sits quite forward, compared to a conventional RB25DET RWD motor. This may or may not have contributed to my previous AWD -> RWD shitting the bed at the track.
    • My car is also flex tuned. It's worth mentioning it (the LS1 ECU) has a 1D table for E85 addition and just uses the ethanol stoich part as the second point of reference. It also as a 3D timing map for Ethanol adjustment. You would think this isn't enough but it works pretty damn well. That said, I wouldn't want it in turbo application. It's like lifting non-natty, or taking meth. It gets you unrealistic results that break down more things going forward. If people used it to make the same amount of power they do on 98 then it'd be one thing. But people use it, crank it up to eleventy million PSI, it doesn't knock - but it pushes the point of failure to another, more expensive thing to break. Every time I see someone make 280kw on 98 and 350kw on E85 on the same equipment I just cry a bit and really wish they would just stay on 98 in that exact scenario. It's bad for you. 
    • This is kind of what I was thinking but the temp sender wire and the two pressure switch wires run through the starter subharnes and I eliminated the two pressure switch wires completely.  @GTSBoy I have a can gauge with unusually bright warnings should the oil pressure fall so the factory light isn't needed. I need to dig out my wiring diagram and see if I can sort this out.
    • It's a valid point. And it is doable with the Nistune. But I'm not inclined to flex it the way Nistune does - certainly not on a Neo ECU. They're already pernickety enough to tune just one one fuel. And of course, I'm not that interested in putting in a Link or similar, on a daily. With the stock ECU, stock looking turbo, etc etc, I still stand a chance of surviving a run-in with the plod. Last time it went over the pits (which was for the transplant, for because of a run-in with the plod), the Nistuned ECU did not even raise an eyebrow. They want to see a stock ECU running the engine, and they are happy to see it do so without the check engine light** on. Never mind that the Nistune is necessary to make the stock ECU work in a different chassis without ABS, TCS, etc. **And they actually provoke the CEL to come on by disconnecting the AFM, to prove that the globe hasn't been pulled!
    • This is why you flex fuel it...
