Gtst Vs Gtr Bov Question

[Turbo Piston]

Hey guys, just wondering. It seems to be ok to have a BOV in a GTS t skyline with no draw backs in the performance. But with a GTR running twin BOVs i've read many times here its not recommended. WHy is it that it works fine in the GTS t?

[R31Nismoid]

There are draw backs. There are plenty of threads about cars stalling, over fuelling and so on (GTS-t).

Same a GTR.

The principle is the same across both. You run a AFM equipped setup on a RB, and then use a ATMO BOV you are likely to have problems.

GTR or GTS-t it doesnt matter

my car used to stall on a hks SS but then i changed to a GFB Stealth FX and since it is fully adjustable i have it on 1/4 atmo and 3/4 plumb back works miracles but i do perfer the stock BOV, i had to go aftermarket since i could not find a replacement

[R31Nismoid]

^^ since when cant you find a replacement?

Ive been selling GTR BOV's on and off for a few months, the are direct bolt on to the GTS-t item so just grab a GTR one IMO.

Nice and easy that way

R31Nismoid, do the GT-R BOV's look any different externally to the GTS-T ones?

[R31Nismoid]

Ive honestly never used anything but GTR BOV's, not sure.

Chuck a pic up, or someone else will know.

How can you tell if your gtst bov is leaking boost?

[bozodos]

haha oh when i took my Turbosmart one off for a RWC and replaced what I think is a GTS-T one, it makes a funny whistle over ~10psi and refuses to really build much more boost.

AI'looking at either going for a GT-R one and drilling a hole in the intake pipe or just putting a blanking plate over the spot for it on the crossover pipe (mainly due to the fact that the atmo one was the sole reason I got given a defect for).

I can't remeber exactly what my GTS-T bov looked like exactly, but the GTR one is definitely larger and more flat on top rather than the upside down dinner plateish thing the GTS-t has, also has a bigger outlet iirc. Anyway it's not just a GTST bov with a stronger spring, looks quite different.

The outlet of the gtr one is bigger... so you have to get a larger return pipe. overall, they look a tad different, but cops cant tell a difference... if thats what people are worried about.

In my SR20 DET everything was fine, didnt cut at all, so was just wondering why it happens with skylines. I was runing AFMs too.

So if I didnt run AFMs, and have an Apexi Djetro, your saying it will be fine?

[TTT]

lol... you're thinking of getting a djetro just to have an external venting bov?

heres a pic so you can see the difference (well kinda)

GTR is on the left
