Bov And Idle

[MyR33GTS-T]

Hey there fellas. Gettin a bit shitted off with my stock bov.

Running 10psi the stock spring in it just doesnt cut the grass anymore.

Just looking for a new 1.

Dont know what i want.

I have heard a couple that i like.

this will be weird... but after it boosts the noise i want is dooo doo do. like a flutter type bov,. or 1 that makes that noise.

There are heaps of bov's out there but no1 has any sound clips. Except GFB, but they are all for WRX anyway's.

FYI aswell.. i dont like the SSQV either, its annoying and useless.

So any tips or help would be great Guys. Installation tips, or if u have a 2nd hand 1.. or a recomended new 1 to buy.

Also, my r33 idles at about 2g normal.. Any ideas on this prob guys..

Cheers, Michael

PHSSSS PHSSSS!

Why do you need one...you cant be making that much horsepower that you really need one..unless your donig it for wank factor

well since i am losing boost through it i thought it would be a good time for upgrade..

Since they are a performance aspect of a turbo car..

But u probably already knew that.

But thanks for ur input.

its been said hundreds of times on this forum before, stock bov is fine. guys have been running heaps of power through them.

Next best upgrade to a stock gtst bov is a gtr bov which can be had usually for between $40 and $100.

Save the $400 dollars you'd spend on a fancy bov and buy something else.

If you want the doo do do sound do this:

Alloy/metal intake pipe (or get a section of 3" metal pipe, cut your standard intake in half and put the metal pipe inside)

get some aluminum sheet and the bov gasket and cut a plate to the size of the gasket.

drill bolt holes

then instead of cutting out the middle like on the gasket just drill a few holes through it.

this will partially block off your bov but not enough to make you stall - giving you the tututututu noises.

all you need to know really.

yeah over that noise idea already. But the bov is leaking.. so.. yea i have to replace with something.

I believe a GFB hybrid bov is the way to go. Plumback and atmo. to solve the problems with the AFM.

Besides that... what about the idling problem i am having?

sigh.

stock bov's leak..deal with it. get a new aem plumb back model.

if u want the bov to go doo do do duuu. wind the bitch up as tight as she will go (only applicable on aem bov's).

stalling at idle. could be dozens of things. afm reversion, leaking vac lines, ecu errors etc.

200bucks or less spent on a mechanic to go over it for an hour or 2 can save u alot of stress

yep you get over it pretty quick. still think the gtr bov is the way to go, much cheaper and stock looking.

as for idle could be a few things. try adjusting the aac valve at the back of the plenum. there is a DIY on this site about cleaning the aac and reseting the idle at the aac valve and the ecu. give that a shot first

i got a mach1 GFB on my s13 and it flutters a bit.

i got a HKS SSQV on my r34 and i got over it.. but now i have an external gate and a screamer.. so i dont get to hear it much anymore.

I nearly tore all my hair off my scalp trying to figure out my idling problem in my old 32. It turned out it was the aac valve. I wish I knew you could clean them! It took ages to track one down..
