been reading a few posts about gtr bovs..seems to be a few dif opions...

tested mine yesterday with an air line and tee fitting with a reg to put air on both sides of the bov at the same time to see if it holds say 20psi or more...

seemed fine at even much higher than 25psi...so whats the benifit of after market bovs like the greddy type r etc....

is the air flow of bigger turbos the reason they start to open at higher boost levels...

cheers..

Yeah Ronin, that's the Trust 16 row oil cooler kit, I learnt the hard way...

Sent it back to Japan and got the HKS 16 row oil cooler kit which is mounted on the passenger side inner fender... only to find out that it doesn't accomodate for the series 3 xenon headlights...

I hate oil coolers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey JAGR33, I thought the Trust mounts in the LHS (passenger) fender? Maybe just for R32.

Got me worried now. They have one that they say mounts 'horizontal mount' - does anyone know what that's about or where it is exactly? Sorry to hijack, but I want to know if there is a Trust oil cooler kit that fits with the factory BOVs :P

Ronin 09- yeah the kit I got was for an R33 GTR, and it was definetly mounted on the driver's side, ask Gerald he was there when I tried to fit...

Horizontal mount is underneath the radiator and the cooler faces down towards the ground, and is fed air through an air dam.... Don't know if they are practical though....

Emre- the hoses cleared the back of the headlights, was a very tight fit... The main problem encountered was where the oil cooler core sits, one of the fittings that goes into the cooler itself was in the way of the little black box bolted underneath the xenons to run the gas discharge, was a big headache!!!!

Ended up unbolting the little box underneath the headlight and relocating a little lower so it wouldn't hit the fitting...... Got there in the end!!!!!!!!!!!!

Emre- yes the catch can was a problem too, but where one of the fittings goes into the core itself is pretty much directly under the passenger side headlight..... Well the xenons have a little 'black box' which controls the gas discharge, this was hitting the fitting on the oil cooler core so had to relocate this little box.....

Bit hard to explain......

Does anyone know if you can let the stock gtr valves breathe straight to atmo?

 

I upgraded my cooler & therefore couldn't put the recirc piping back in so I changed the valve. Still got the stockies so I would put them back in if I could get away with it.

I don't see how this would be a problem in terms of boost leak (unless they have the little bleed hole like a GTS-t BOV). It should only really affect stall and mixtures.

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
