well guys, ive purchased a pair of gtr bovs and the assembly and was going to put them on my s14, just a few questions

why is there 2 on a gtr?

wat is the little 2mm or so hole that vents to atmophere in the side of the bov?

will i still get that cool "chooo" sound if i only use one? (blumbed back of corse) because fitting 2 in my engine bay might be abit harder than i thought it was going to be

also what do they bovs sound like when they vent to atmosphere?

thankx guys, any help appriciated :D

2 bovs as there are two inlets, two afms, two turbochargers

each has its own recirclation valve and airflow meter reading so you need two

Nah, its actually one pipe, nothing to do with 2 turbos/afm's. Leewah/nige/ben all use big single's remember :D

If you look the stock crossover pipe thing they two BOV's join into the one hose.

well, thats what i thought from briefly looking @ my two im using on my next project :(

I dont own a gtr but i think after the bovs come together that pipe splits into 2 again and one comes in infront of one turbo and the other the other turbo right?

i recon using one would be fine aslong as you have a splitter at the end so equal air is put back infront of each turbo, also only having one means only 1 vacuum line, so one of the existing lines would have to be blocked off

Flow area - you could achieve the same effect by having a single larger one with the same flow

area as the two added together, but there are probably good reasons why Nissan went

with two smaller ones rather than one larger one that I'd hesitate to guess at. If you've got

the whole assembly you'll see that they join back to a single recirc pipe which then splits

back into two under the stock airbox and rejoins basically just before the inlet side of

the turbos.

wat is the little 2mm or so hole that vents to atmophere in the side of the bov?

no idea; having not pulled one apart I'd assume it's to permit air equalisation between the

atmosphere and the bit 'between the diaphragm and the valve itself'...

will i still get that cool "chooo" sound if i only use one? (blumbed back of corse) because fitting 2 in my engine bay might be abit harder than i thought it was going to be

The sound's related to the volume of air and the speed it moves at - you might find that

one is louder/higher pitched than two together because the air will have to move faster

through a smaller total orifice and for longer to get rid of the same volume of air.

I've never tested the difference, so that's pure conjecture.

also what do they bovs sound like when they vent to atmosphere?

Probably very similar to any other VTA BOV. It's just air moving around, after all.

Some BOVs have funny characteristic sounds, but I doubt that the GTR ones

will... suck it and see :D

just a question...do you "have" to have these 2 bovs on a RB26 since its using 2 afms ?

what happens if you dont have bovs on a gtr thats using a stock ecu and stock afm's?

thanks.

You mean if you take them off or replace them with a different single recirc BOV will the

car suddenly stop working ? No. My car doesn't have the BOVs; I removed them to

put an oil cooler in. It works fine.

But BOVs are supposed to have tangible benefits; one of them being that of less turbo

wear at gearchanges due to the turbos not 'running into a solid wall of air' if that makes

sense. And you'd need a fairly large single to give the same flow area as the twins;

I don't think I've ever seen one that big. _Someone_ probably has, though :D

Saliya

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
