i found the opposite while using the stock ECU, NO BOV caused no end of issues (RB25) with stalling and throttle response.

GTR BOV went on, problem went away :laugh:

But stalling etc is largely due to driving style as your already aware im sure :woot:

Not sure if its the complete opposite.

Throttle response was up with no bov (i.e partially on the throttle through a corner then nailing it) however it did have stalling issues and often backfiring on down changes or coming to a stop. The bastard always would stall driving in to my driveway.

Nothing I did to the pfc prevented it stalling or having the jerkyness drivability issue at low rpm when making some boost.

No bov... It did feel nice when I selected the next gear on 'full boost' partial throttle with a slow gear change as I didn't have to wait for the turbo to spool, boost was just there instantly. But.... I don't drive like that 90% of the time. Probably why I get 10.5-11l/100km's.

lol at chirping... I can chirp fourth if I try.. :ninja: lol not that its too good for the box. Chirping has everything to do with the clutch and how one shifts or should I say slaps.

I know this is a very old thread but does anyone know where you can get a plumback hose for the GT-R stock BOV? It's like 40mm from the BOV to 30mm on the black hose that goes back to the intake. I can't read the vernier caliper that well so the size maybe way off but you get the idea.

Thanks.

Hrm... i think i have some in the boot of my car.

Lot of effort/cost to send to where you are - surely you can just get some hose made up mate?

And by that i just mean any old hose cut to suit, you dont need it to be any specific type really

I see. Doesn't have to be any special reducer hose. I was searching for HKS straight reducers but can't find any online. I'll go to the workshop today and see if i can get a normal hose to fit.

Thanks R31Nismoid.

    • Update: I got the magnet out. I bought 3 different flexible magnetic reach tools, but none of them worked. The magnet on the tip was all less than 2lbs of force, so i had to buy a special cylindrical magnet that had a pull force of 9lbs.  The magnet finally came in the mail yesterday, so i got under the car to get to work. The super strong magnet isn't that long, so i only have about 1 finger pinch lengths to hold it. I was so scared when i was going in the hole, that the 9lb magnet would just fly away inside the oil pan never to be seen again, but i had my butt cheeks clenched and finger gripped on that thing so tight, i managed to get it to suck the other magnet out.  It was a victory for me last night.         
    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃
    • You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.
