Hi all,

I know this may well have been looked at before, but I just can't find it anywhere.

When do you need to fit a BOV really, if you don't care about the noise. Is there a rule of thumb for power or boost or am I just being mislead.

I'm about to put a hiflow in my RB20, and I'm pretty sure I don't need one - but I'd like to know when I'll need to...

Thanks!

I know in an R33 your stock BOV, has a 2 - 3mm hole in it. Block it up, it leaks boost.

It's meant to allow a smooth transition between no boost and boost, something you don't need when going down the 1/4 mile, but on a circuit where you want smooth linear acceleration you will need that hole.

Try it.

A quick fix is a couple of layers of masking tape on the day your taking your car to the track.

You could possibly plug it up with metal putty/bog etc.

What sort of pressure is it being exposed to? If it's anying like what's being vented, i.e. a partial atmo, then i'd be sus on masking tape holding up.

I'm guessing the leak doesn't apply to the 32??

I'm not really into schoolgirls, although that was funny.

I didn't actually want to change the valve, but a few places I spoke with, and magazine articles (which I'm aware are trying to you sell stuff) have said that once you look at changing the turbo, its time for a valve. I didn't think it ran true at all.

I also had a guy from a workshop (an evil workshop) telling me that a valve should be second after the exhaust for mods..... come on!!

If your stock BOV starts giving up the ghost, GTR items @ $150 or so are the perfect upgrade, cheap and super effective (see one of the threads below)

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
