Ok.. so im getting my car serviced on the weekend, and I was thinking of getting them to fit a BOV while they are at it.

Now, realistically, all I want it for is the wank factor. Sure the sound is loud at the minute with the Pod, but I want the typical Whiplash sound that we all know and love (or hate).

The question is, since I already have an SAFC, I can have it venting to the atmo without comming into any issues?

Should I leave the stock BOV as well?

If I plumbback the aftermarket BOV, do I still get my wanky rice sound?

I'm, looking at some sort of Turbosmart BOV... any recommendations?

Cheers.

:boobs:

yeh youll have to block off the std BOV but thats not a real issue

it will cause some slight problems with fuel mixtures but nothing serious

turbosmarts are very loud and in my opinion rediculous, if youre gunah get an atmo venting BOV go for something a little quieter like a HKS SSQ as the turbosmarts will piss you off after a while, i know the **** me to tears in my mates 180!!

I owned a highly modified VL Calais Turbo before this.. trust me, i know all about defects. :nod:

Literally, I couldnt give a rats ass what the cops thought, I want to enjoy my car for what it is, not what they think it should be. :shake:

Thanks for the info.. now I gotta chase up a BOV before saturday :cool:

I've just bought a GFB Hybrid. It's convertible from two trumpets (it actually becomes a Bovus Maximus if you do this), one trumpet and a plumbback hose (so you don't get stalling and running rich probs) or two hoses for silent operation.

BTW The 2 hose one is not mentioned on their site, but you can do it with a bit of fancy tubing.

That was the whole reason I bought it, so I could convert it from noisy to quiet.

I got a turbosmart plumb back on my r32 and can say they work pretty good. the advantage adout this particular BOV is that i can make it plumb back then a miniute with a socket set can make it vent 2 atmos. in plumb back the sound isnt much louder than std. but when V2A it lets go with a huge PPPSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! a bit like the sound when you let the air out of a tyre. It works well in both ways.

heres a pic of the plumb back and the supersonic turbo smart BOV. Notice they are exactly the same BOV but the super sonic has a trumpet sort of Xhaust housing wheres the plumb back has a out let pipe!!!

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
