i dont really matter bro, lol Why u get a auto one.... lol

Mate it depends what time of BOV u put on. i recently slaped on a Apexi dule champer BOV it make a "flutter" at low reves and a "woosh" at high revs. it sounds mad. But wit an auto, u'll hear the sould when it changes gears automaticly. it should still sound good. have u heard some of the auto VL turbo.. sounds mean.. but they have a dose pipe :)

take it eazy boss

^^^^ Wow that post really sums it up. Installing an after market blow off valve into a car which already has a perfectly good factory one will lose you about 800 IQ points instantly.

Furthermore you will not hear any sound on gear change (in an auto) unless you're lifting off the accelerator at the exact same time the gearbox changes irrespective of what blow off valve you have.

I got a blitz, same thing nice flutter in low revs, and fair loud pssch when opened up. Changed to a bigger turbo (kicks at 4000 instead of 2800) lost that noise now. :)

I bought my car with it on, probaly wouldn't have bothered otherwise, I like the sound of just cooler but if you like it buy. Personaly I wouldn't bother with a auto especially if it's standard.

Hmmm, I dunno. the stock BOV in the car only ever sounds when i take my foot of the gas, i cant hear it at all when it changes gear. so if i changed it, wouldnt i only be hearing it when the foot of flooring it?

Yeah, i bought the tiptronic auto becuasse i didnt really wanna spend another 10 grand for the manual...

Im already thinking about changing to a r33 GTR instead.

      S15 Spec R

      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!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      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.
