Cops Hassling You About Your Bov?

[cheez]

hey guys

just been working on a little project to hide my bov so that it is 'invisble' to a police officer. all i have used is a cross over pipe off a rb25det, cut it out for the part i needed and used 2 3" silicone joiners. the pipe will be mounted in line with my intercooler pipe underneath the front bar.

for those that have hybrid piping, this is for you as the straight section of the pipe that joins teh intercooler to the stock location is teh area that i have cut to install my new section.

once i install it later this week, will post some more pics of it mounted and how i run the necessary hoses to it to make it more inconspicuous.

for those that are gonna ask, yes i am still gonna have my standard bov in its original location but have a block on the hose to the plenum and a cut out coke can to seal the pipe in the original location. more pics will better explain this.

but yeh, here is a pic of the little project, has a stock bov on it for photo purpose and just want to know what you guys think.

cheers

or you can hide it in behind the front bar as alot of people do ive noticed thats easier, plumbed in better way to go once off hassel free cost you choose which is better.

[cheez]

it will be going in behind the front bar and will be plumbed back in. i just made this so i didnt have to get a custom cooler pipe made so it has a flange positioned behind the bar. it will just be cutting a section out and replacing it with this.

what about just run a 1m hose from the outlet of your bov and tuck the open end of it somewhere nearthe intake

then the cops see a bov, then they see that its connected to a long pipe back to somewhere near the intake

they're not goign to go searchign for the spot at which it connects exactly

i used to hide my boost controller by getting a 30cm long bit of pipe and cutting a hole in it. then i put that over the boost controller and tucked the 2 ends of the pipe into tight locations. for the lesser known person it would just look like some random hose in the engine bay

[cheez]

i cant go about that as i have a dual port gfb bov that vents to atmo and also plumbs back. epa in vic classes that the same as an atmo so no go there and cops Fu$k ya round alot because of it.

so by doing this it hides the atmo/pb bov and looks to any jo blow copper that the car is running a standard bov

Sorry ive read the original post....

Am i missing the point in this whole exercise? From what i have read it seems like alot of effort for nothing at all... Unless im not reading it correctly? I know its to hide the BOV... But... yeah?

its so u can hide your aftermarket bov while maintaining a stock looking engine bay with standard bov still in its original location.

Remove the BOV than you can't be defected for having one

the funny thing with that is that the "dosing" would be louder than the actual bov going off haha

alot of manufactures are making "stealth" aftermarket parts. Turbosmart make stealth versions of boost controllers and bov, same thing just painted black so it blends into the engine bay more..

this is what im doing, this is on a mates car

[BANGN]

where is the point? its a factory item which is plumd back into the intake just like the crank case breather line. Its legal so why bother.

[wrxxy]

LOL very tru why bother its plumb like what he said above!

[r33cruiser]

good point, but different people have different needs

[mass_iv]

some people just dont know how to read.... dude i think this is a great idea. and from the pics it looks pretty neat and pro....

as for the previous 3 posts, READ HIS FIRST POST, IT SAYS FOR PICTURE PURPOSES HE IS USING A STOCK BOV!!!

[cheez]

thanks mate. yeh for those who cant read. the bov that will be put onto that pipe is a gfb boost fx.

its currently on the car in the stock bov's position but the pipe that i made is so that the boost fx is hidden and the stock bov is still sitting in position so cops dont stuff u round.

skyline drivers are not ricers

[TTT]

I understand the hiding of the aftermarket bov.

I understand the stock bov blocked off.

what I don't understand is the need for the aftermarket bov if you already have the stock bov.

is your stock one broken?

ok no worries. So you're running an ecu with a map sensor that pushing over 350rwkw and more than 20psi of boost and has a massive turbo that requires such a blowoff valve?

good point, but different people have different needs

Refer to my point above.

Either that, or you have needs to be a dickhead, and attract unwanted attention of the cops, and have them hate us skyline owners more?

Its just pure f**king wank, no more. As I have said in many other ATMO BOV thread trolling, if you have a MAF and put a ATMO BOV on then you obviously want your car to run like shit, and think that girls get wet as soon as they hear it and will try and get into your car and get your fly down.

I think its just as bad as all of these people deliberately trying to make their car "dose"

The only thing that I will approve, is a nice big whistle if a turbo drawing in some air through a windowed compressor cover, ready to lay some rubber.

All the rest is just un-needed wank shit, unless you are pushing big power and the stock parts can't handle it anymore.

I'm running 300rwkw, with a stock plumbed back BOV, and it doesn't leak. Works perfectly.

i cant understand why people criticise????? i really dont understand why u feel like u need to comment about someones taste or choices???

i mean what if i said i dont like ur car? and that i think ur choice in turbo or computer is crap because i have a diff setup???? does that make me right and you wrong? does it mean im cool for having a cool BOV and ur a dick coz u dont???

man thats so sad... really if u dont like it and u get upset coz other people have this and it pisses u off, then just ignore it or piss off!!!

Not everyones tastes are the same and everyone has their own style and mod list for their car...

PS: i dont like ur rims they look like shit!!!!

there's my main point, and if you don't like it then I hope they find your noisy attention seeking BOV, and defect you for it.
