I am looking to upgrade my standard BOV and just came across the new Turbosmart dual port kompact series. I got a 32 gts-t and just wanted to know if anyone has it one their 32. Really liking this opposed to the straight plumb back.

Cheers

Basically I need to change my standard BOV due to a boost leak. I just wanted to know if anybody is running the new Turbosmart dual port BOV kompact series because that the one that interest me the most because it does both performance and sound(only at full boost). If I cant run that I will probs run a plumb back.

Not sure on the turbosmart BOV but if you want a good sounding BOV that performs id definately recommend the Greddy RZ. i had an RS on my R34 and was definately the goods and sounded really good and the RZ is just a newer version.

Ill be getting it for my R33 Eventually lol

ATMO can give you backfire/return to idle/overfuelling issues in a lot of cases.

So it's always best to stick with re-circ for those reasons if you are using a AFM still...

On the re-circ, a single GTR BOV will hold 25psi+ and is a bolt-on job (mine was fine for 370rwkw/24psi)

So doing the same job as a Greddy re-circ item for about 1/3 the price. Only thing is it's not shiny which can be a good or bad thing depending on what you want :P

I got a Greddy Type RS copy BOV (Autobahn88) because it was cheap and i was sick of the sound the stock one made. Its plumbed back and it works pretty well, and i didnt pay the earth for it.

If your intent on getting a dual port turbosmart, they make a direct bolt on one for skylines (Its black and silver) but its pricey at $450

Id suggest GTR or another Stock BOV unless ur sick of the noise like i was haha

Turbosmart will do fine. Installed one on a mates car.

plumbed back-Imagine the VTA psscchhhh sound, but much quieter.

Not sure how you will go IF you VTA it. I have never had a problem VTA'ing and neither have any of my mates.

    • Is this not the biggest deal of all? I was hoping the whole "will slide under cars with skirts etc and lift evenly quickly with minimal fuss" was the entire point of such a device?

    • Yeah I've got one of these, Quick Jack not Quick Lift, but your link looks like a good copy For me, it's better than no hoist, but it is definitely not as good as a hoist  It lifts the car about 60cm which is a nice working height compared to regular stands and it is only under the sills so it doesn't get in the way like regular chassis stands do.  No need to use regular stands, it has a safety lock on it. On the down side it is really heavy/unwieldy to drag into place, and you have to place it after the car is there (no option to drive the car to where the frames are. You need to try and line it up with the proper sill points which is hard as it swings up in an arc and there is surprisingly little adjustment in the distance between the rubber pads for different car lengths. Not a big deal, but in practice a jack + stands is probably quicker. Also there are hydraulic lines to each side and you need either a 240v or 12v source to power it depending on which option you have, I use 12v as I always seem to have a battery around.
    • Finally addressing my catch can and oil setup Plan is to do as much as practical without having to remove the motor or pull it apart. (no back of head to sump drain/breather or oil restrictors) First step is a set of full length baffle plates from Hypertune and a Tomei cam cap stud kit. I could probably have laser cut and bent up my own ones but this took any guess work out
