Hey.. I'm planning on installing aftermarket bovs (blitz super sound dd) soon but I just wanted to check if installing them on a gtr tuned using a pfc with stock bovs will cause any dramas.

I've heard there could be stalling issues

Anyone with any thoughts/prior experiences?

I've used an atmo bov with my power fc and i think one issue is that the stock bovs are usually slightly open at idle which avoids turbo shuffling and potentially upsetting afm signals. Mine shuffled a lot when I put the atmo bov on (running the power fc) and had it tight enough to be necessarily closed at idle, plus I had some compressor surge at lower flow rates which really messed with the afm signal and therefore the afr's- I think the stock bovs would have alleviated this. The issues disappeared when I went to map sensor based ecu, and then being able to soften the bov spring to allow it to open at idle got rid of the shuffling. My feeling is that the stockers would be the most trouble free option with afm based ecu.

i like my ppssh sound :)

plus i got a good price so decided to put them on... been driving around with the stockers for a while and I kinda miss the sound... each to their own

thought there would be stalling issues... ill get em put on when the haltech goes on

can the GTR stock BOV be run as atmo?

i got a haltech ecu running map sensor so i wont have issues with the AFM not liking it or stalling.

the blitz BOV i got installed atm is rubbish as i suspect it to be leaking & not holding boost.

ideally i want to upgrade to a HKS SSQV but if a GTR bov can do the job properly that will be the option to go.

Well they leak @ idle/low throttle, so not really... As the air is going through the turbos but not making it to the intake so response would be doughy as a result.

You'd need BOV's that seal always in that situation

Has been done, i think it cost about $50 to do and worked perfectly. The guy who did it was "sh@un"

if its anything like what ive found from searching, they blocked the hole on the base of the bov with a screw or welded it so its sealed.

gonna try tonight by removing the bov and installing a blanking plate, if this improves response i will leave it this way till i get enough coin to buy a HKS one.

i cant be bothered to buy a GTR/GTST bov and mod it as i dont have the time or patience.

dammit blitz, why couldn't they just made a good BOV from factory like HKS!

No Offence Nismoid but you have handled this BOV thread very well, I was actually starting to believe that you hated BOV's and would destroy anyone that had one. I almost wondered if you would offer money for people to send there old BOV's in if they went back to reticulation ( just a thought lol) anyways i had a BOV and have gone back to retic I have now noticed car runs much better down low before boost and spool up time and also keep MIster Plod away as well.

I don't hate BOV's, just a lot of people swap them over and pay the price (poor running etc), and then come back in a few months with another thread about stalling/backfiring or economy etc.

If you go about it the right way however (which means retune, custom work etc), then it's all good.

There just aren't a lot of people willing to do things properly and then complain about the half-baked set-up that results.

It indeed does work perfectly, and will give you the noise you'd expect on gear changes. Personally I started to find said noise very annoying everytime you backed off the throttle slightly when having a go. Pretty sure it didn't make any difference to turbo response between gears in the end anyway.

Obviously, as has been mentioned, you can't do it on cars still running AFM's. MAP based load-sensing only.

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
