hoony Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 guys..! i have a manual boost controller and a GFB BOV... and i do NOT know how to fit them, was wondering if anybody out there would want to do it for me in exchange for a couple of brewies or $$$ and if nobody can do that or can be bothered to do it tell me how much it will cost at a workshop? also, my GT-T has a standard boost gauge, would i have to get one that runs over 1 bar to use the boost controller more efficiently and are there any problems if i use the standard one? (reason i ask this i think stock i'm running 7psi but i wish to run at around 12psi...) the BOV apparently has to get welded on to my engine too, it's just the trumpet thing and i don't have an aftermarket cooler SO... any suggestions out there? for those that don't know me i'm not the most literate person mechanially all advice will be genuinely appreciated, thank you Andrew Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/213420-bov-and-manual-boost-controller/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
WA_R32 Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 hey mate, I wouldn't go running your car at 12 psi without a bigger intercooler otherwise you could get engine knock which is bad also would suggest getting an aftermarket boost guage as that way you can monitor the boost better than the stock one. Running the car at about 10 psi should be fine and not cause any damage to the engine. The bov should just bolt up where the stock one goes but not knowing too much about rb25s i wouldn't be able to tell you. If wou need a hand with anything send me a pm and i can help you out Matt Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/213420-bov-and-manual-boost-controller/#findComment-3770377 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pal Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 (edited) just a precaution but if you wind up your boost you should get it on a dyno to check air/fuel ratios. so it is better to get a workshop to do the lot. i use IN TUNE PERFORMANCE. they are in the workshops list below. he charges 88/hr and about 80 bux for a check on the dyno http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Co...hr-t191756.html Edited April 4, 2008 by Pal Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/213420-bov-and-manual-boost-controller/#findComment-3770528 Share on other sites More sharing options...

NA_Goodness Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 If u get some info about how to do, I could give you a hand, but having never done it myself, I'm not sure what to do. Keep that in mind for the future Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/213420-bov-and-manual-boost-controller/#findComment-3772184 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stage2 Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Suggestion: Get an adaptor if you want to install the bov or use silicone pipe! Backyard welding doesnt look the best and you dont want your r34 to look like sh*t under the hood do you? Be wise and get it done properly the first time!!! Save if you have to!

Kaido_RR Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 what do you need done to your suspensions? if your changing to coilovers or something like that it is really easy job, just need a socket set, a jack and about 1hr of your time (maybe less, maybe more) but remember if you change any suspension parts you will need a wheel alignment, i changed to a different set of coilovers and ended up with some massive toe out Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/213420-bov-and-manual-boost-controller/#findComment-3777217 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoony Posted April 7, 2008 Author Share Posted April 7, 2008 lol guy is the one that is after suspension... i have mine in yet i have no f*cking clue what type os setup it is *shakes head* god i'm useless... alright wel i'm set about getting the BOV and MBC in, i'm also thinking (and hope all you guys out there can help me with this one)... my car is due for it's major service (100,000km's) so should i save up some $$$ and get the FMIC and get all 3 (FMIC, BOV and MBC) all in at once then tune it at the same time with my major service and has ANYONE got ANY idea as to how much this will cost and how much longer i can drive my car until i SERIOUSLY need to change the stuff for the major service...?!?! danny at imports101 changed a lot of my stuff around before he sent the car to the pits, only things he said i needed to change was the timing belt and i think that's it, all the filters and coolers and fluids and everything were already done i think around 8,000km's ago... never mind, any idea how much my mechanical desires will set me back? rough estimate is okay, will go to danny i think for the major service and fitting of all that stuff cheers, Andrew Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/213420-bov-and-manual-boost-controller/#findComment-3777388 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WA_R32 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 mate your best bet would be to ring around a few workshops and see how much they charge Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/213420-bov-and-manual-boost-controller/#findComment-3777763 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCR34M Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 dude, just as a general rule, when you get ya timing belt changed, do the water pump as well... apparently they dont like to hold out much longer than the timing belt...lol Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/213420-bov-and-manual-boost-controller/#findComment-3779793 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoony Posted April 8, 2008 Author Share Posted April 8, 2008 if someone has a reasonable offer then yeah i'm selling the car... BUT i'll be doing things slowly if nobody buys yet ie. FMIC, BOV, MBC and also probably different kit + paint and some interior goodies etc. you guys know how it is, for now though i've had some offers that aren't tempting enough so i might play with the car until i see a cash offer i'll be ringing a few workshops tomorrow eh Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/213420-bov-and-manual-boost-controller/#findComment-3780210 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WA_R32 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 hey also andrew if you wanted to do it yourself or not have to pay a garage to do it my housemate and i would do it for a small fee (only because timing belts are time consuming to change) we live just around the corner of where you saw us the other day.
