Since petrol price is skyrocketting, can't afford to let my R33 keep running rich, therefore I am thinking of getting rid of my HKS SSQV atmo BOV. Can anyone recommend a good plumb-back BOV? Also, perhaps a dumb question, but would plumb-back BOV make flutter sound? I note that there have been some arguments that the 'flutter' sound is actually made by air bouncing back to intercooler - doesn't really make sense to me though...

Cheers,

DD

I'd like to know the same thing.

Seems my R33 GTST is using alot of fuel.

BOV

3inch exhaust (all the way)

Pod filter

Standard boost

How many K's do you get off a tank mate? I usually refil 50L every Tuesday night (Petrol at its cheapest) and that lasts be about 425 - 450 K's. Still takes around $75 to fill tho.

All I've got for mods atm is a Deceptor Pro BOV. Might try running it Full plumb back next week and full atmo this week and see the difference, will Keep you posted.

I've onlt had the car a week. Havent worked out kms/tank yet.

But i see the needle dropping a bit too fast. Of course, the first few days i was giving it quite a bit.

Does the BOV really blow fuel out ?

I notice when i'm city driving in 4th, doing 60kph, the rpm's show about 2200.

Does that sound high?

Mate you shouldnt be worrying about fuel economy, yours is awesome already.

I feel sorry for the guys with stockers who get like 250-300km's/50L if that.

you can still keep your HKS SSQ and plump it back!

there a guy on here sell the plump back adaptor!

all u neeed to find is pipe to plump it back!

he works at SHIFT performance @ Lansvale

Has anyone get one of these plump back adaptor? Is this original HKS item? How much? Also, dumb question, does it still make any noise?

BOV = POS. Waste of money. Run stock and save hassles with stalling and fuel.

If you want your car to make sounds then fit a pod...

that is just your opinion!

some ppl dont like stock BOV.

Pod noise is realy one of the anoying sound i ever heard.

I got no issue with stalling or fuel with HKS SSQ,

well that is my experience anyway!

yeah i get 300-350 on a tank but boost it alot too POD, factory blow off factory turbo on a RB25DE engine had it converted (by previous owner)

i like the sounds a POD gives your turbo, i wouldnt get blow off to scared to get it defected

that is just your opinion!

I forgot to add backfire...

Anyway I was crazy for atmo BOVs etc... until I saw the havoc it was causing with my car... maybe I am harsh but for the money I wasted on buying/installing/removing the BOV... would I ever do it again? no thanks!

SSQ BOV's are rubbish...go for something like the turbosmart supersonic stealth version. Awesome BOV whether u plumb it back it or atmo it. Flows alot better than the SSQ (less lag) plus its an aussie company. Just my 2 cents

Just bought the SSQ plumb back kit from BD4, genuine HKS item for $35, but just the nozzle though. Still trying to figure out what kind of plumbing I can use to connect to the intake pipe.

In the mean time, I tightened the BOV adjuster, making the BOV not to vent on low boost. Now I can get flutter and whistle noise at the same time... sounds better than before I reckon. But by doing this, will I harm the BOV itself or the turbo?

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
