Plumb Back Blow Off Valve

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.

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!

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?

      Use a 2' length of hose (that's 2 foot, not 2 inches) as a stethoscope to localise the source of the ticking. From cam covers? From exhaust or turbo manifold gasket? From injectors? From lower down in the engine? Etc. Use a timing light to set the timing. Put Redline Lightweight Shockproof in the box. It's not the very best thing for the box, but it will take a box that refuses to engage a gear with other oil, and make it engage a gear. I had to put it in when I installed the R33 box I have in my car. It would not select ANY gear when running. Smurf jizz made it work. That was >10 years ago and I still use it. I'm stuck with it now. Failing that - rebuild the box.

      Well done Duncan. The fuel tank bulkhead lid is also in great condition (some of mine were stuffed). These are now out of production and good ones like that are becoming hard to come by.

      Howdy all,   I had my rb25det S2 rebuilt and finally started it today but have run into a few issues  Engine sounds like a a diesel easiest way to summarise like small ticking, gets louder when revs are slightly adjusted  The engine builder repainted the engine cover leaving no where for me to go off with lining up the CAS so have it as central as possible so not sure it that could be affecting it?, changed the gearbox fluid too but won’t seem to go into gear when running, and only 1 to 4 when off having a hard time finding 5th and reverse anyone got any ideas or a base for me to start off? much appreciated
