R33 Bov

[Josh]

This is a question for my mate with his S1 R33, is there anyway of modifying the standard BOV so that it makes a noise, Im not too sure with the standard R33 BOV's whether they are very loud or not, because his isnt at the moment. We did try by having the plumback pipe disconnected, but the engine wouldn't idle very well and would stall. We also tried by blanking the mount point off on the crossover pipe and running it just through the plumback pipe. I was concerned about my mates car getting flutter from doing this so I put the valve back on as standard.

Is the valve supposed to make a noise, even though it is plumback? My R32 BOV makes a hell of a noise and it is plumback...

How would I get it to make noise for him or should I just tell him to get an aftermarket one?

pod filter..... youll hear her then....

AAAH so thats why it wont be audible at the moment? Ooh.. that would explain why mine is so loud then.. I didn't think changing any of the plumbing setups would be effective/safe... Is there much difference between the BOV's on 33's & 32's besides the way they are mounted?

Thats simple then, I will tell him to get a POD sooner rather than the later he had planned.

pod filter will definitely make it louder.

r32 and r33 BOV's are exactly the same unit..

I thought that was the case, they are just mounted differently - facing upwards in 32 and facing rear of car in the 33. Cool, cheers guys, I will let him know.

pod filter tests results suggest the Apexi unit to be the one to go for

Any of those, use the original snorkle still and consider keeping the top of the original airbox on your pod, or until you partition it off from the rest of the engine.
