Hi everyone,

There are a few 2nd hand Blitz BOVs going around and they seem to be pretty good value except they aren't plumb back which is what I'm after.

The little trumpet section seems to be screwed on and I'm wondering if anyone know if there is a replacement for that part which has a plumb back attatchment.

Anyone?

Thanks :D

Really? Thats pretty interesting.

The whole reason i was going for an aftermarket BOV was cause i now have fluterring on the standard BOV after the turbo upgrade, and i was under the impression not enough air was being passed thru so i had back pressure on the turbo compressor blades.

Am i wrong? (probably haha)

Anyway, one of these if peeps dont' know what i mean :

The pic shows 2 different available attatchments.

having a bov is a myth. there is no proven damage to ur turbo by running no bov. CA18 and I believe some SR20det came with no stock BOV and I know of one CA18det which has been going on with its T28 turbo for a good 4 years without a bov.

BOV are myths, but I love the sound.

Sure, no damage to turbo, but you have to admit that your turbo should still be spinning at a higher speed after a gear change.

Besides, some cars didn't have intercoolers, doesn't mean there's no point :rolleyes:

Hey, you've got a Blitz Supersonic Bov !!! Haha :D

BOV's are not a myth on a Skyline whos ECU expects it to be there. Please dont post silly information.

Birnie, its almost a direct swap... PM me if you want more details as i have it im a PM somewhere, just no time no to go leaf through a few 1000 PM's to find exactly what another person did.

Cheers

agreed been running high hp cars for years with no bovs.

You said having a BOV is a myth

That is not correct. On a car that has an AFM and ECU settings like a sykline, its required

unless you live in thommo and want dose...... which every second r33 has :P

    • One other thing worth mentioning when I did this job I only jacked up the driver side as I was only doing work there, but from what I understand both wheels should be in the air when removing the sway bar links?
    • Yep it's an r34. Usually people remove struts without removing the front upper control arm (fuca is what i assume this is?) So not sure why mine wouldn't fit. I know on my other car I did a similar job and it wouldn't fit until I removes the ball joint nut even though I didn't remove it prior.   The upper arm doesn't seem to be in the way (the part that's bolted to the chassis. The part that's bolted onto the j arm I'll check that out though.   I was going to compress the spring and put it in with the compressor attached but not sure if it will work  Haven't seen anyone do it.
    • I have a small lip on the boot of the E90 and I've been toying with the idea of trying to mould it in to the boot to remove the gaps. I guess shaving the seams? No idea what the terminology is here.  What I'm wondering is, if it's current double sided taped down, what would I do to more permanently attach it so it makes a good base for the filler? It only has edges so no way to bolt it down unless I add some braces. I've done a lot of fibre glassing in my time so that's nice and easy but I'm not sure what my options are here.  Sorry, this is the best pic I have and I'm 4 million ks from home ATM.  
    • Based on this comment I went googling. A052's in the sizes I want are certainly not cheap, but I couldn't find anything in the V70A anywhere. How much do they run/where do they get sourced from? From what I know (nothing but internet searches and reviews etc) the R888 has pretty much fallen off from anyone's actual use, and the AO52 is the king of "road legal" rubber. Nobody is driving around on their daily for Z221, AO050, DZ03G. At that point, for purely track only tyres - Why not buy actual slicks? Why does nobody actually do that anyway?
    • This an R34? It shouldn't matter though - it should be the same as on any of the others, and by "any of the others" I mean R32, because that is the car that I have had the front end apart on about 50 times this year. Sometimes, it is much easier to get the lower shock eye onto that pin when: a) you have the upper shock nuts backed off a few turns so you can wiggle it a bit more freely. When they are tight the bottom of the strut is much harder to move that _leeeetle_ bit you might need it to to win the fight. b) you have the outer bolt(s) from the FUCA out and so you can move the lower pin around freely too. Then, all you have to do is put the upper arm back on when you've got the rest back together, and this is where jacking under the balljoint can help.
