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?

    • 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.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
