Hey ya'll,

I had an R33 NA for 6 months, then i just recently sold it and bought another R33, but its a GTST :(

So im kinda new to turbo and whats good and bad, i understand the principal, but anything beyond that, im still learning.

I have the stock plump back BOV and i am wanting to upgrade to something after maket. I have read the thread about ATMOS are GAY.

I would like to find out for myself, see if it really does get annoying. LOL

I was looking on ebay and say these. Im just wondering are they super shit, or decent?

- This one

- This one

- And this one

Give me your thoughts guys... I want something that makes a noise, but not soemhting that makes the car shudder like some have said...

LOL

The Apoxi blow off smart from brotec is the better of those I have seen and very well priced.

How much are brotec's?

Are all those ones on ebay cheap sh!t?

- Also blitz, was that a typo "apoxi"? or is that really the brand.

Cheers,

apoxi is the type of brotec he's talking about. it's similar to the apexi ones, but not a copy as such, it actually has some improvments over the genuine apexi stuff.

personally i've had some troubles with the brotec stuff over the years, but that's probably more installation related as their quality can't be faulted. I had heard they were now at sportamotive as prior to that they just operated out of the back of a truck (much like the snap-on tools guys do).

Anyway, i'd certainly give it a go. In fact i've got a pic of one here:

have you had a look in the for sale section? there are usually a few BOV's here and there...

I have a blitz supersound BOV.. it came on my 32gtst when it came over from JP.. it's used in conjunction with the stock BOV (and sounds good)... But I'm getting really over "phhhs" sound...

if you are being serious, then no, they aren't. Maximum noise generally points to a bad thing, meaning they are attention seaker BOV's which are designed just for that, maximum noise. You can hear the stocker pretty well if you have a POD and a FMIC.

If this is a pisstake, then all you need to do to make them one better is attach a duck caller to the trumpet of one of them or a soccer refferree's whistle and you'll be set.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
