hey fellow skyliners,

I've got a r33 gtst, and I want to get myself a bov for the sound haha. umm, what is the most reccommended bov do u guys suggest? one that will not cause me trouble with leaks, etc... and possibly street legal (but doesnt have to be). Are there disadvantages and advantages of having a bov? To install a bov, does it need any extra gadgets installed? or is it just a plugin device? Sorry for the noob questions, but i'm just down for the sound :)

btw, which one will produce the best sound...

The first question is, its you car modified to a large extend, as in larger fuel pump or larger turbo? Because if u do Venting BOV's will stall your engine.

it might not stall all the time but it does sometime. It actually makes the car run slower and alot richer, as between gear changes u get that little flat spot with the atmo bov which i noticed quite badly. This was with a Blitz atmo one which i hated. I now have gtr bov's and they are so much better with the wanker sound.

my car is basically stock and auto, the only mod is probably my exhaust. what types of bovs are there? theres the atmopheric bov and...

will the bov sound, work good with an automatic car?

I think it will ok, exept u will only get the sound when u back of the accelerator. The atmposhere BOV makes the noise and the Plumb back BOV's make no noise. Try putting in a HKS SSQV, but try it on your car before you buy it because it might not work. Better yet just buy a Plumb back because it wont cause you any problems. It all depends on what you prefer, Rice or Performance.

flex i'll give you 24 hours before I close this thread because you are gonna get the shit bagged out of you by all the members of this forum.

Atmo BOV's are only of any use if you make some decent power. Atmo BOV on a stock car is silly. Atmo BOV on a stock automatic car is even sillier. Save your money and go buy a single R34 GTR turbo for the same cost as a HKS SS Fart Valve.

I love the sound of my factory BOVs releasing a muted woosh :rant:

I also liked the sound of the SSQV on my old GTSt too, but sometimes can get a bit annoying when trying to 'stealth' about (yeah right, wiht that 108dB exhaust that was on it!)

Yeh I've taken off my HKS Super-Sequential at the moment, the factory BOV sounds alright.. just doesnt have the same effect

Oh well. BOV's attract cops, the EPA say they create "undue noise polution", so cops can defect anyone for having an after market BOV :rant: it's not fair... can't have fcuk all mods these days without being picked on :)

LOL... BOVs are not only public enemy no.1 of police/EPA but forum members too :rant:

I hide in corner and hugs my BOV box "i just loves my BOV, just loves it i do"

The atmposhere BOV makes the noise and the Plumb back BOV's make no noise.
NOT TRUE!

I had a Turbosmart BOV that I installed both as Vented & Plumbed back [to test it] on different occasions [not a dual port] and it made almost as much noise when plumbed back! Was only a little bit quieter. Still made the Flutter sound and Psssht sounds depending on Revs and bov setting, stock bov doesnt make either of these sounds, just a nice woosh through the air cleaner!

You can still get plenty of noise out of a "plumb back"!!!

My R33 came with a Blitz blow me valve that worked and sounded fine. BUT....

Blow me valves are a waste of time, all it will do it make people look at you when you drive past and think "Gee look at that co(k smoker" :P Sorry but it's true. Not to mention the fact thats it's almost like having a sticker on the back of your car saying "My car is defective".

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
