Hey guys,

Planning an R33 gts-t build atm and am looking for some efficient bov solutions.

Alot of people praise the stock GTR twin BoVs for their performance.

I was wondering whether people run just a single GTR bov or use the twins on other engines (more so rb25dets).

Also, I was wondering if anyone had a sound clip of them. I searched all over youtube but the only videos I got are off gtr's running loud aftermarket bov's. People say they sound good and subtle, so has anyone got some audio. Perhaps a generous GTR owner could take a sound clip?

Any info would be great

Cheers

I dont mind the quieter bovs out there, but some are stupidly loud. GTR stock twins from what people say sound good but yeah if you or anyone can get some audio that would be mad.

On the other note, if anyone has ran them on an RB25DET did you run both or just one? I am planning on a basic stock internal rb25det / gt3076r / usual supporting mods to get to around 300rwkw.

Just keep in mind that aftermarket plenum wont pass a mechanical inspection, mine didn't and they are a nightmare to change over

And all aftermarket bovs do is attract attantion and get defected and better yet u save cash!

Hah. Plenum change to "neaten" then engine bay. The definition of a worthwhile modification.

It does make for less intercooler piping and instead of running piping across the rocker cover

But still expensive to do just for street car. I was reading that the r34 neo plenum was the reason it gave that motor much more bottom end torque over 33 rb25, so if he got one of them from a wrecker would be cheaper.

I also read that cheap plenums of ebay can cause the motor to seize, so just be careful

Amy more info on the causing motors to seize? :)

Hi guys,

Rather than start a thread on the same topic, I have searched and this is close as I found, i too have an RB25DET and a pair of GTR BOV's which are yet to be installed. I was hoping someone could post a pic of how they were mounted using a forward facing inlet manifold and plumbed back in to the intake pipe. The reason I bought them and want to use them is that the current bov works well when venting to atmo but doesnt seem to work when plumbed back. I just get a lot of flutter back through the turbo. The pipe that the current bov is mounted on will be eliminated, non standard pipe anyway, when the inlet manifold is installed.

Thanks in advance.

Well, given that the BOVs are installed in the intercooler cold pipe just in front of the driver's side front wheel....that should pretty much tell you where it makes sense to install them on a GTST with a FFP.

I don't know if I would use both though. If you install both, you then have to joint their outlets back up in order to take just one hose over to the inlet side, or you end up having to take 2 hoses over to the inlet side. There's plenty of high power RB25s running just one of these.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
