i have an auto r32 gtst and this might sound like a stupid question but i havn't owned a turbo car before so be kind.

does the auto gtst still have a stock bov?

if yes i think mine does not have one as when i'm on boost and i take my foot off there is no noise like one would expect.

also, if yes then where is it located? on my intake piping before the throttle body and before the bend there is a small pipe which runs off the main pipe which leads to nothing and is blocked off...anyone know if this is where it should be...or does someone have a pic of a stock bov which i can compare to. maybe its there but stuck or something.

as i said i havn't owned a turbocharged car before so i am learning as i go...

thanks,

Waz

MM2death has given you the pic.

If your one isn't making any noise, then it is probably because you have the standard air box.

When you have a pod filter, it is very free flowing and you can hear all sorts of induction noises.

also, when the bov vents, you will hear a sshhhhh sort of sound.. different to the aftermarket psshhtt sound.

the standard bov makes more like a hissing sound.

IF your bov is removed and all holes are blocked off, and you put a pod filter on, when you back off from the accelerator, you will hear a fluttering sound.. like ch ch ch ch ch ch

Hope this helps.

And there are a fair few turbo cars (engines) that don't have bovs as standard..

here are a few.

Cordia turbo.

CA18DET engined cars.

VL Turbo

That's a few off the top of my head.

Mate... if someone knows what that is i'll fall off my chair.

ALL Auto's i've seen... R31/R32 (imports we are talking here) and i'm assuming it's the same for a 33 but ain't seen and auto one yet.

They all have that little pipe thing your talking about and it goes nowhere and does nothing. (that i know of)

It's also the easiest way to tell if you car has had a manual conversion done to it at any stage :(

    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
