I used to love my old Turbosmart Supersonic, had a cool schh schh schh sound between a vent and a dose. Problem was though, literally EVERY time I got pulled over, the cops would either pick on or notice it.

Ended up going to an ARC which I also had VTA, didnt sound bad either. This was due to my cooler piping not being stock and not having anywhere to recirc to and my own laziness in not rectifing this lol.

Also wasn't running a MAF ;)

Bahahahahaha. Lol. I'm sorry this thread is awesome makes my day so much better reading it.

Dude! You obviously want an atmo bov so go on YouTube or go check out George street of a sat night.

That is all dot dot dot dot.

I only changed mine to a Turbosmart Raceport when I went to single turbo and also ViPec ems. Getting rid of that also gave my oil cooler a home. I'm a fan of the standard GTR valves as they are proven and work well.

I just needed some extra space ;) lol

Hey Fellas, Serious question.. If someone had to run a haltech ecu which eliminates the purpose of the standard afms... would that make a aftermarket BOV work ok?

I've got a R32 GTR, Standard BOV's and near stock... Not intending on changing my bov's either they sound good and cops cant f**k me up but was just curious hey

thanks !

Yes that's fine.

I wonder why so many people dont do it then if its going to make the difference between making your car run like shit and making it run fine...

ah well.. thanks for the response man :)

Read this 4 times still no understand

You wonder why they don't change it

Or you wonder why people do it

Sorry it was regarding the haltech i spoke about.

if say you were to run one and it would make your car run good with aftermarket bov's then why dont people do it rather then just chucking a aftermarket bov with standard afm which leads to dramas.

Well they aren't exactly cheap lol.

Most people that run atmo bov's either don't know the problems they can cause, or they aren't reallyyyyyyyy that interested in performance and so wouldn't spend a lot of money on an ECU with capabilities like a Haltech. Just judging by appearance, most people I can see who ask about running atmo bov's on here tend to be all about the image of fast cars. They like the noises and the appearance, but don't want to spend the money to make it all work properly.

Not saying everybody who runs an atmo bov is in that category. Just an observation.

Very True.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
