Is Bov Vent Better Than Plumback?post Views-poll-

[TTT]

Before doing that, I'd get a larger diamter return hose for the bov from some place like clark rubber.

plug it to the bov and the other end to the return outlet on the intake pipe.

see if thats the restriction.

if you still get it, try your atmo bov.

if the atmo bov resolved the flutter issue, then a single GTR bov vented back has found it's limit.

the only reason I say the return pipe is the issue I had with my S14... or any 200sx for that matter.

you'll find that if a pod is fitted and they've raised the boost even to a mere 10 psi, at full boost gearshift, you will get a flutter.

and it's because of the pissant return line which becomes a flat section as it goes across the motor.

the new hose will cost you like $2 for a meter length.

just get a cheap clear hose as a test.

I was running 24psi/GT30 with a single GTR BOV. They flow plenty if the lines to/from are big enough

Point noted Nismoid...i was actually going to PM you to ask you about this but since you've replied its all good...cheers...

Seriously, when was the last time chicks came running out flashing their tits and vaginas trying to get into your car because they heard the sound of your BOV?

Only last week i cracked a "Paatoosh" in front of the local catholic girls high school, and had dozens of vagina's and breasts coming from all angles. Clambering up onto the bonnet, falling through the sunroof, getting stuck under the car, was lunicay.

Use a large quality after market unit and plumb back - done, poontang mobbing can be dangerous for your heart

whats the biggest port size on a bov these days? I know some turbosmart one we have on our race car is too small and we still get reversion. Was thinking of two std rb25 bovs.

Get a GTR twin setup

Good for over 500rwkw

[r33_racer]

ok...or twin gtr setup. Should piss it in for 450 then.

Slightly off topic, how much to 2nd GTR BOV's go for?

I see you changed your user id but not your dumbarsed attitude.

cry me a river man, how bout some productive criticism instead of sooking cuz someone hurt ur feelings

Also, your comment on ATMO being as good as stock \ plumb back - is crap.

They aren't. You obviously have no mechanical knowledge, and don't know that you simply can't use a ATMO BOV with a AFM configured car without running into problems.

Its not a personal taste - Its an annoying mod that people put on to piss off cops, and make owning a "japanese import" harder for the people that don't like to attract attention.

so ur telling me there is no advantage wat so ever in having a atmo bov?

he didnt say dont be ignorant. so if he meant that?, why didnt he say that?.. instead of a example which made no sence..

and im sure this topic has more of a impact on your car then a neon. Your talking about taste, bov isent about taste, its about performance!, a neon is taste, or a color is taste, not a bov or tyres and performance parts.. lol.

but i think if any one reads through this thread, you will get a good idea of what is best.. each to there own, very true..

some people compare what track cars use?.... well, im pritty sure most are useing there cars for street, (i know there alot of track guys out there .. so how about, go plumback for the streets?, and what ever you want for the track hey?..

bov are loud enough, why do why need atmo on the street?, and there are some great points about turbo life with a plumback, very easy to understand...

agree with you partly, BOVs aint a personal taste but the noise is, and unfortunately more ppl get it for the noise then the performance. and yes ur right, ppl who are driving there cars on the road should proberly just stick with a plumb back, because there is no need for a atmo bov. but i could say the same about exhausts. why bother fitting a larger exhaust if your only using it on the street. simple...........wank factor

i guess the point im trying to make here is dont diss other peoples personal tastes. some ppl do like loud exhausts, and bov sounds. and some like the performance they give (and dont say there isnt any gain in using a atmo bov cuz there is) its there car and their life. i find it absolutely shockn you guys are bad mouthing ppls tastes in cars. i could look at any of you for a second and say ur a total top bloke because of a,b or c

but i dont...because i repect your decision.

[limpus]

Well...i got my GTR BOV for about $70...Good value if you ask me...bolts straight in...just need a larger hose for the plumback thats all...

Hrrrm, good to know, cheers. I think im hocking my stockers soon, to make room for a oil cooler core in that brake duct area.. hrrm..

Dragsters run superchargers, no BOV.

WRC I think someone stated DON'T run BOV at all.

drag cars cars have a endless different motor setup not just superchargers

infact there is a motor with both supercharger and turbocharger from the factory.

and when u think about barja,truck racing,drift,drag,hillclimb,touring car ect.ect the motors and choice is endless

alot of XRX`s use vent

but i do like the stig.

Slightly off topic, how much to 2nd GTR BOV's go for?

$150 with the piping usually.

Cheap as chips for something as good as they are

[markimak]

im getting a fair bit of chatter.. bloody tension on the spring on the BOV is too much for low applications.

agreed for sure.. taste is taste, and if we all had the same taste, it would be to weird!!. we would be looking for the same looking girls..haha.. thats what makes us us.. i agree with the exhaust, i guess thats taste, but, i see some people buy a car, eg, my room mate and the wrx, and pop on a cheaper exaust, just so they can have the sound, and the dam exaust is way to loud, not even close to legel, the so called jasma stamped version are meant to be that bit beta, i saved a bit more cash and bought a jasma stamped 5zigen exaust, and its been worth it, nice and quiet, but hey, at the same time, we can say taste, but theses two things people crave the taste, are some times being abused and getting others introuble, (because of sound)... taste i agree on for sure.. but when the taste is giving of to much attention, and like every damn friday or saturday night, it gets a bit much.. (when its abused). cops are changing to get us, we need to change as well...

While on the topic of plumbacks and atmo BOVs. I want to convert my atmo to plumbacks by taking off the trumpets and putting hoses to the recirculation piping. Will this stuff up the AFMs making me stall all the time, or am I just better to take them off and seal up the holes with a metal plate? Am I better to just get GTR stock BOVs and replace what I have. I just got the GTR and it has blitz ones and i dont thing RTA will allow me to get the RWC so I can register it if they are Atmo BOVs. Is it purely a noise problem or also increases the emissions?

THANKS

What is the use on giving YOU constructive criticism? we've all worked out that was of no use long time ago.

so ur telling me there is no advantage wat so ever in having a atmo bov?

YES. THAT IS WHAT WE ARE TELLING YOU..

DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE WORDS THAT ARE COMING OUT OF MY MOUTH (keyboard)?

do you want us to tell you slower?
