GTR Defectability w stand. BOV

[CONRAD]

My 32 has twin blitz blow off valves, which are perhaps a lot more audible than I would like.. see, Adelaide is known as the defect state.. and I can't afford to refit the entire car back to standard if I get caught.

Q) how loud (if any noise) are the standard gtr blow off valves? considering I have twin pod filters.. it sounds pedantic, but the nazi cops love seeing imports to fill their duty quotas.. and if they hear any light 'swooof' they'll slap a sticker on my car for a full inspection. As unfortunately is the way here; your guilty till proven innocent.

If you want, check out the outstanding ‘regency experiences’ thread by Steve in the Adelaide section to see what we face.

The stock BOV's do make a fairly audible "chooooof" noise when fitted with pods. They are however perfectly legal as they do plumb back to the inlet. If the cop is being an ass, just try and confuse him by saying ltos of big words like "the pressure release valves are perfectly legal, they are recirculating back into the intake of the engine" etc. Most of the time (in ACT at least) they give you the benefit of the doubt.

Cheers,

Though if I fit the standard blow off valves back on (as my car is WAY too loud now) I've heard about issue's with them leaking. I'm currently running 1bar, and would like at some stage to run a tad more.. can you effectly prevent them from leaking when raising boost or even running what I am now?

obviously you know the pods are illegal aswell? maybe as a side note try and make an enclosure so if a cop pops your hood you can keep them out of site

don't know about the GTR one's really but the GTST one is loud with a pod

Generally you will be fine unless you make a point of "venting" within hearing distance of a police officer/car.

Luckily, aftermarket bovs on a GTR are not visible in the engine bay, assuming of course that you have your aftermarket bovs fitted in the factory location.

Police normally have a go at you for what they can see. Out of site out of mind.

Theres cars making in excess of 500kw using the standard blow off valves, they are really good. However, you can occasionally get a dud one which does leak...
