Anything plumb back, I ahte attention.. I am really liking the GTR stocko's at the moment..

I would like to add that my least favourite would have to be my old GFB Mach One, that thing was offensively loud, it was mounted inforn tof the passenger wheel on the 180 and shortly after getting ti fitted I changed gears next a cyclist in ym small country town (as you do so that you can keep the car quiet as you go past) the noise scared him so muhc he fell off his bike... I felt bad :rofl: Living in the country he must ahve been sheltered from BOV's I think I was the first one in town too...

HKS SEQUENTIAL (not the 'whistle' fast n furious one) stutters when low boosting, really nice note when on full boost - heard em on 33 gtr, rvr and 34 gtt and all sound very different but all really good.

I get the stutter when low boosting, but i was really after the high pitch ching sound. Do you need to run more than 7 psi to get it?

Kristov - I'm running about 11 psi on a 34 and it only stops stuttering when really caning it - adjusting the spring tightness doesn't seem to make much difference on this bov either. I would say at 7 psi it would always stutter. The GTR is running 1 bar and the hks bovs sound really strange on it almost like a groan corssed between a quiet screetch :whatsthat

When I had it on my Rvr running 8 psi it mainly stuttered, when i increased to 14 psi it sounded more like a typical bov on max boost release. I'd say run 10 psi and fiddle with the spring (10 mm bolt stickin out of the end) to try and get the sound you want.

Hey guys im looking at getting a BOV now so help me with some newbie questions:

1) Are their any performance differences between BOV's? plumb back or atmo ?

2) If the plumb backs keep the air in then do they not make any noise ?

3) Does that mean that the stock BOV on 32gtst's is plumb back ?

since no one has/can answer my questions ill help you (even though you should have searched and read), :D

1)unclear question but plumback is best for smoothness of running because no air is 'magically lost' due to the bov

2)yes they make much less noise and are hence legal, but you will still hear a plumback bov through an aftermarket air filter

3)yes r32s have plumback bovs standard (almost all these nissan turbos have stock plumback bovs)

remember the only function of a bov is to prevent back pressure from a suddenly closed throttle reaching the turbocharger which would slow boost response and may eventually cause shaft play in the turbo

there is no restrictor on a stock bov.

I assume he meant he PLUGGED UP the bleed hole in the base of the bov (you have to take it off to see it)

When I did this to my one, I got about 0.5 psi extra and the sound changed slightly..

oh and boost came on a little quicker as well.

as for best bov.. what you should do is get the one with the biggest trumpets and attach duck call horns in front of them trumpets..

so every gearchange goes.. psshhwwhhaaaaaa

Block it off, then you never have to worry about it leaking or any associated issues.

I was recommended to do this by a Jap D1 driver, as he explained it, if you vent the air from the inlest system it must repressurise after you change gears/throttle input, introducing throttle lag. This is what he preffered, but they do a lot of on/off throttle changes and balance a car through the drift with the throttle.

I have also used the Trust BOVs, which work well and allow you to plumb back

Out of interest, why do you need ideas for a bov? is the stock one not doing its job properly?

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
