Hello,

I'm planning to boost at about 25psi. I wanted to replace my BOV with the Turbosmart dual port ( at low psi, it recircule, at high pressure, it will open up and vent it for a sweet sound)

Or should I recirculate completely the system? I heard a recircule BOV will elimate the stalling issue at low rpm but from what I read, the oem bov hold its pressure better so you are always on-boost between gear.

Will I really feel that extra performance giving by a recircule BOV or its negligeable ?

Thank you very much for your input as I never droven an OEM setup and don't know how the boost/pressure feel.

So THAT'S what I've been doing wrong all this time?! Damn.

Better change to the flutter sound, that HAS to pull the chicks right??

:D

... On a serious note, if you dont want the stock BOV, upgrade to GTR spec (if you dont already have one), or recirculate the Dual Port. I actually use a dual port recirculated.. Looks pretty ;)

Why don't you just go with the proven stock GTR setup?

You know it's good... Not really sure why you wouldn't then use it.

Well.. it was made for 13psi.. not 25psi.. Not sure if it will hold up and honestly not interesting in doing the test myself jsut to find out I have to re-do it agian because its leaking.

Are you kidding?

They hold over 30psi and over 550rwkw. Seen it with my own eyes on 3 different setups.

No need to do testing yourself when there are 100s of people before you. There are countless users here all running stock items. Just go look in the dyno thread or search "GTR BOV" :thumbsup:

Well No I wasnt kidding. I spoke about oem bov at our latest skyline meet and most people were anxious about runing oem over 17-18psi. I will look into it. thanks!

Bah don't listen to them. I bet they've never tried to do it. Just like people saying you need a aftermarket FPR and what not for moderate setups... Fact is if the stock gear is working fine - you don't! Save your cash :)

I ran 24psi/GT3040 through a single GTR BOV on my RB25, it would flutter ever so slightly so probably a needed to be a bit bigger, or go to dual BOV's.

Your stock bov is recirculating, so why replace it if it works fine? An aftermarket bov will a) get you defected, b) cause stalling issues and popping as it vents metered air c) cost lots of money d) make everyone think you are a dickhead.

So you are basically paying money to sound like a dickhead, get defected and make you car run worse. Seems like value for money I guess?

Not much will be lucky if it holds 1bar

Holds over a bar no problem.

What psi is the stock gtst bov good or recommended for?

Plenty, get a GTR bov if you have issues, they will run 30psi fine.

edit: on 18psi with a stock rb25 bov I get a tiny bit off flutter when I back off on a WOT gear change, but it flows plenty for the rest of the time.

I run an aftermarket BOV

If your gonna buy an aftermarket one, run full plumback no atmo. You should still hear the noise if thats really of concern, it will just be slightly quieter then if it was atmo

I absolutely agree that the Stock BOV will hold fine, I just dont like the way they sound.

Right now I run 2 blitz and one is seized. And I'm having stalling issue hence why I looked into recir BOV. I have a BNR32 that his mild tuned already. But 1 summer ago when my both BOV were working and at 17psi I had zero issue.

At the moment, I had 3 options:

1) Run one blitz and one OEM

2) Run the Turbosmart dual port alone

3) Run the turbosmart dual port and one oem

My friend's car actually run 2 HKS atmo and one OEM but I think the atmo take over the OEM bov. I will simply install it and run the car without bumper and see what can stop my stalling issue.

Hi guys might be a stupid question but what model gtr bov should you recommend or are they all the same?

I got defected with mine venting to atmo, I have an aftermarket plenum, stock bottom and aftermarket top half.

If my intake doesn't have a port to recirculate can I plumb it into my airbox? Or will that be not enough to pass defect clearance?

    • Drilled the rubber out on a slow speed and it didn't catch much at all. Probably only half a dozen holes was enough to shred the rubber and it dropped off easily leaving the inner sleeve behind. Will tackle that later
    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
