Hey

I have a GTST series 2 R33 and i want to change the BOV because its not loud enough for my liking! but i dont wanna get defected either.... is there anything that i can change it to to make it louder? or am i stuck wid the standered one? What have you guys and girls done? anything that is a direct swap over of the standered one?

Cheers

We are in SA, so yes, it is illegal to have one Adz.

You need a retune if you disconnect your stock BOV apparently to reconfigure your idle.

The Atmo one will go where your stock one is with a flange that migth have come with your BOV if it was specific to our car. I am getting an adaptor made up for my Blitz SS BOV to go where the stock one is cause I want something a bit stronger and stainless in the stock ones place.

You will find if you block your stock one up (Thread in DIY section) then you will notice the car will stall when you approach lights, in parking areas, etc etc. So the only thing that fixed this is a AFC or a ECU apparently.

And yes, under normal driving if you do it without a retune, you will notice some fully sik woosh woosh action. lol. :)

Yeh, like he said, you will need a retune, it might not be too bad (the stalling) as with my bov blocked off it would stall maybe once a day. Best bet if u don't want a bov but you want sound is to go a mesh pod. Go a DRIFT pod or similar, just make sure the element is pretty thin and it will be loud enough

you underestimate the stalling my friend... it is possible to happen ANYTIME you stop, if you dont have ur foot over accelerator as you brake your f**ked, trust me lol.

It'll hunt for AFR like a c**t, go up and down the revs like crazy then if u dont balance it out with the accelerator ur stuffed, can happen anywhere, even while you are moving downhill, put it in to nuetral to double clutch cause ur synchros are screwed then the car stalls as you are rolling at 70km/h...

you need a retune if you remove the stock bov, and then the new bov u get needs to be tuned too...

ADAM, a vent to atmo BOV is one that VENTS TO ATMOSPHERE, ie, has a little trumpet or filter or whatever is aftermarket these days are pretty much all vent to atmosphere, thats the valve that creates the phshhhhhhht noise. k thnx bye lol.

I have just removed a turbo smart vee port BOV from my stock ecu'd r33. Stalling ??? not once in the severals weeks i had it on there....

The only thing i noticed having a atmo BOV on my r33 was a little bit of back fire upon gear shifts sometimes.. Did not sound bad at all.

And the little puff of black (barely noticable) when boosting @ 10 psi and gear change..

The reason I removed it is cause i wasn't a big fan of the noise.

I don't quite understand.. I don't doubt whether it would or not, but WHY would and aftermarket bov make you stall on idle?

Also, is there many aftermarket bov's that give better performance but don't make more noise?

the smoke and backfire is from putting too much fuel into the system... the car computer reads a lot of air rushing along (before BOV) and when you put the pedal down, adds fuel to the mix... if all that air is out in the atmosphere, it takes a second for the right amount of air to get to the block... if its recirculating, then there is a lot of air in there already, ready to go into the block...

runs your car too rich and it stalls... Im not certain, but i think cars that are having this problem should go get a tune...

    • Incidentally, I also put v3 of the tune on the car and did an oil change from 5w20 to 5w40 to see how it affected oil pressure in the mid to high end. I'm still happier with the thicker oil and will stick with it, but clearly the system is happy with 55psi even if I'm not!
    • So the other thing I got sorted over the weekend was Z1 oil catch can install. https://www.z1motorsports.com/z1-products/z1-motorsports/z1-q50-q60-30t-baffled-oil-catch-can-kit-p-23546.html It was a good kit, most importantly it came with preformed silicone hoses in the right shapes rather than trying to bend/join regular straight rubber hose. It did come with crappy spring clamps not proper hose clamps so I ditched them On the down side, it is made for LHD cars and RHD cars have the main ECU harness running straight through that location, I ended up bending 2 mounting brackets so the loom is up against the brake master cylinder compartment wall to make room for it....otherwise everything fit without modification Intercoolers off on both sides, but there was enough room to get everything done without disconnecting (and therefore having to re-bleed) the coolant lines. Each is mounted with 4x 12mm headed bolts, plus in and out side hose clamps (7mm headed, nice) and 3 electrical connectors on the navigator's side which were a real pain to undo (probably for the first time in 13 years).   Also one of the mounting bolts on the driver's side was cross threaded, thanks Infiniti/Nissan workshop mechanics. On the navigator's side, the catch can plumbs into the factory hose that goes from the cam cover PCV back to the intake.  This is the 2 new hoses in place. All simples and direct fit On driver's side, there is a bracket provided that mounts to the throttle body, they even provide slightly longer bolts to allow for the bracket thickness which is nice (although, they don't have captive washers like the factory bolts of course) In that pic the main loom brackets are not in place, once I had "adjusted" them across it now sits up against the panel and just clears the OCC The remaining problem with this is emptying it; currently you have to remove the 3x m4 bolts that hold it to the bracket and both banjos to remove it (probably dropping the banjo washers at the same time) pull it apart to empty then replace. I do have some fittings coming for a remote drain from underneath that will also add a little capacity...it is very small and will need to be emptied every oil change to be sure.
    • Noise sounds to me could be either wheel bearing related (have had similar from bearings going) or that tail shaft is still loose. Or something like a heat shield touching the tail shaft.
    • You wouldn't get away with saying the opposite, if you were there.
    • Do some wool fluff testing on the vents
