B.O.V's, which one to get?

[Mr R32 M-Spec]

I was just wondering which types you guys have on your cars and how you find them?

I was thinking GFB Hybrid but my mate with an S15 just got the HKS SSQBOV and loves it.

whatchya think guys, which one is good and which one isn't it:D :shake:

[rbs13]

monza is cheap (200bux) and makes high pitched whistle.. seems alright.. good alternative to hks one.. at 1/3rd the price.

gfb/turbo smart seem the same i think.

all jap sh*t is well.. apart from expencive pretty darn good i guess. get what ya paid for.

I have a stock BOV because I could care less about making noise to attract police and sounding like every wrx out there.

I have an interest in going quick, so no 'rice boy' gear for me.

The stock BOV is as good as any BOV on the market.

[rob77]

You lie dave! Inside of you is that little rice boi screaming to get out! you know you want the biggest phattest sounding bov there is on the market, so badly so that you dont care that it makes the car run rich or you pop and fart on every gear change

heh... *sarcasm off*

i have a HKS SEQ BOV and when i shift gears the exhaust makes a loud poping noise i kinda like it, It gives the car character. (oh and its awersome when u make a huge poping noise when the SS Ute u just killed off the line is behind you )

[fatz]

yo mumas one

[rob77]

personally I'd perfer some flame action

[Hiroshima Screamer]

i have standard ones atm but the ones im gona hunt for are TRUST plumback

[Guest Boxhead]

i like the idea of the GFB stealth fx hybrid..

it appears that you can easily change the rate of hyrid style it is, as in you can direct it all via plumb back, or all of it to the atmosphere....

or a rate in between, so it could be good, fair enough if a cop knows what he is talking about he will spot the trumpet if you dont conceal it.. but, if you are going through a cop hot spot you can pull over turn it to totall plumb back and not get the original attention

[rev210]

I think this we should make a 'neons and BOV's' section for these kinds of threads. Aftermarket BOV's aren't a performance mod.

so is a front-mount cooler in your case:p

[lowlux]

one thing thats good when u have a front mount cooler is to instead of moutning the BOV in the engine bay,hide it underneath the panels where the pipeing goes thats where ill put mine when i can be bothered to put it back on again

[DanS15]

I had a Turbosmart Supersonic Type 3. It was good, no complaints at all. Bit loud though so I returned to my stock plumbback and the car drives heaps better.

Just doesn't get wheelspin on the 3rd gear change anymore, just a little chirp now if I try hard enough.. So to those people that say they are not a performance part must be wrong. It obviously gave my car more boost after gear changes.

Still got the BOV if anybody wants it.

[rev210]

DanS15,

the BOV is not the reason for the wheelspin, or lack of it. Everything I say is wrong btw.

Areograce,

Never said fmic's were not a performance mod. But, you keep telling people thats what I think cause from now on I follow your advice.

what?:confused: follow my what advice?

i'm just saying in your instance, a cooler upgrade isn't needed to run fast 1/4mile times....sorry if i sounded sarcastic:cheers:

[drifta]

you want the loudest and cheapest you cant lose:D

[R31Heaven]

I am going down the stock plumb back way, dont need the attention of an external venting one. what cost can you pick up a stock BOV off either a RB20/25 for?

[Mr R32 M-Spec]

I ended up going with a GFB Plumback. changing it just for the sake of it. avoid attention and I can pretty much tell the cops to leave me alone. just say the stock one died and had to replace it with something

[TTT]

I read about this company that spent milions on research and development on their Products.

the bovs that they make can handle up to 17psi without any probs, and you can also make a slight mod to the bov to hold more boost.

the company is called NISSAN.

the bovs can be picked up second hand for like $30.

you can't go wrong..

[dabigbolf]

buy my sheepdog professional bov. brand new never been used.

$220. jms sell them second hand for $280.

i am not running a bov soooo pleas buy it.

hehe
