hint: when you DO buy a bov, try to stay away from a blitz... pain in the ass they are...

I've heard good thing about the GFB loud one too :(

Can't go past an Apexi white face (but the price is outrageous) So i just went and bought a generic brand under $100.

Sorry I cant help with finding the parts tho :)

IMACUL8,

Have you ever put a BOV on a WRX before, the car tends to shit itself and stall all of the time. It takes a while for the computer to learn that it has added something new and can take days of driving before it starts to act normally. Just some advice, as many mates WRX's have behaved in that way.

See'ya:burnout:

ppl mite say that autometer guages are only for the V8 boys but thats what i have, Phantom series, which are white faced, and in a twin pod on the pillar, but i specially modified them to have blue LED's, just for the rice factor, hehe, but they havent given me any hassles at all, and for the price they are, i think i'd recomend them. :D

i have a GFB BOV on my car, im not sure which one it is, but its purple non plumback type with a trumpet on the side, sounds ok i rekon.

Ive just bought a TurboXs Type H BOV for my R32 GTSt and i must say its a massive improvement on the stock one (which sounds simply AWFUL when recircing through the air filter, a common problem on 32's).

TurboXs do mounting kits for most common imports including my 32 so install is about a 10 minute job. As far as sound goes, i wasnt looking for anything loud (the stock one is in fact noisier than the TurboXs which vents to atmosphere), its a good noise, quite loud when driven hard, very understated when you want it to be. Adjustment is made via washers placed behind the spring (agricultural to say the least but effective).

Cost me $365 from Speedworks with the mounting kit ($65) so not bad value. Looks the part too. Probably the best of the locally made products.

Interested in the comparison, what is it that you prefer about the WRX? Just curious

Cheers

Please NOTE this is MY opinion... and MY opinion only.. so please dont take offence....

The EVO 4 firstly corners and handles ALOT better.... Cornering is AWESOME.. haveing the 4wd you can basically just accelerate all the way around and through a sharp corner....

Throttle response is snappier.... and the evo 4 revs a little harder... althought my r33 had better throttle reponse over 180.

Te Evo 4 feels ALOT more stable on the road.. especially at high speeds..(over 160....I had the car up to 220 today and the car just sat flat, smooth and safe....were as my R33 seemed to drift alittle at high speed.)

What I'm comparing here is my old R33 which had

FMIC, SAFC, fuel pump, custom dump, HKS super drager xzorst, hi flow cat, apexi pod.....

and

My evo 4, 3 1/2 inch custom stainless exhaust and dump, heavy duty lower springs, BOV, air intake.

My R33 made 270hp at the wheels as alot of guys here know... and for a r33 that will run a best time of about 13.7.... my evo 4 with its current mods plus a new ecu and air pod upgrad will do low 13's.. and once I put a vf22 (sti) turbo on it (which only cost $1400 as apossed to expensive garret turbos for the nissan's).. my car will be easily into the 12's.........

Please again this is my opinion only ... I do not want to offend anyone.

Daniel

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
