I assume its atmospheric? Probably going to see a lot of stalling while driving then... Should get it tuned to counter that, but I dunno if you can do that with a stock ecu.

Also depends on what type of BOV it is i think, some of them have adjustable vents so you can control the pressure being released, etc.

Hi, yup I'm staying plump back but like I was saying stock ecu but with cat back if I change to after market BOV any adjustment to be made on the BOV itself? And how to do it?

Cheers

Well plumb backs are fine then, but that begs the question: Why get an aftermarket one at all?

Unless you have such a big intake that the air flow is more than the stock BOV can handle (considering you have a stock ECU, that seems unlikely), the stock one will be more than good enough. Its just a valve, there is no performance gain from them at all. You would be far better off spending the money elsewhere, or saving up for something much more useful :D

I had the stock bovs push open when boost is over 10 psi , get hammer out n smash end in to get a bit more tension on spring :D run my 31 at plex with return off plumb back n car 3mph slower n laggier between gears :(

Oh forgot to add that I have a plump back FMIC installed as well. So...... Cos very new to this Turboed car thing. Last car was a civic B16 twin cam convert. So any advice would be good.

Leave the standard BOV that's on their at the moment if its not causing you any problems..

No point in getting an aftermarket one as most people buy them for the different noises they make. Plumb back makes hardly any noise, so defeats that purpose.

Dont see how it makes a difference.

For all of you making a big comment about how its not an issue, he has mentioned he's had troubles with it holding boost.

That being said I don't know much about what aftermarket BOV's are better than others, I suggest you call someone from the consolidated workshop thread, or a known parts store in perth i.e. kyp/jpc etc to see what they think will be best for you.

I don't see where he mentions that..

Agreed on calling / getting perth store on recommendation for aftermarket bov + installing it.

      City of Casey - This is obscene!

      Sounds like it may all just be some baseless outrage stoked by the carexplore guy? As in the linked social media outrage on facebook just goes back to carexplore as a source again. Further shown by the council response that nothing actually has changed: "The Private Land Use Permit has been part of the Casey Community Local Law for a number of years. It's important to clarify that this permit is not new, and no changes have been made to the permit or the Local Law in relation to the permit." The full council response in Prank's link sounds reasonable to me. Saying that as someone who neither lives there nor has a front yard to call their own

      Clutch hydraulics are also all good, looks like a brand new slave cylinder and everything bled up well. No idea what the actual clutch is, and I don't intend to pull the box off on the floor to find out, so unless we have trouble on the dyno or at shakedown that will remain a mystery for the new owner

      Front brakes are G4 8 pot calipers over 330mm discs with braided lines. Everything looks good, pretty sure these are off my old 350. Pads are brand new and judging from gold colour are Winmax which is what I also run on my race car, Neil and I both sourced brake stuff from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney who really knows his stuff Everything has bled up nicely with all new Motul RBF600 fluid, there were 2 loose hard line connections and the calipers were new on the car so I ended up doing it 3 times but it is perfect now

      So, starting with the rear brakes. They look like standard R33 GTST, and will need new pads shortly (less than 5mm material, probably only 1 day left). The slotted discs (probably DBA) are near new at 18.01mm and the lines are braided
