BOV Noise or air pod noise ??

[SXCSKY]

The hks one should be were the standard was.

yer take the old one off.. and block up the hose.

Hey Cameron

What il do is post a pic of the engine bay so u can see wat they did with the HKS BOV....and tell us if it was done right

thanx man

[SXCSKY]

im a bit confused,

my car has 2 BOV's it has the stock one which goes back into the intake and i have a HKS SEQ as well? i have wound the boost up to 11.5psi, should i be removing the stock bov?

hey Ash

I have the same prob as u...they left my stockie on wen the put the HKS one on..

if u find out wat to do can u tell me plz

thanx man

[cameron]

ahh ok i though you had the HKS SSQV

nah its alright their. im not sure how to block it up once you take the plum back off, usally you replace it with the aftermarket bov.

[cameron]

take it to someone and get it blocked up.

[Ash]

SXCSKY i have the exact same setup as you! same place and all,

i don't know if u loose power, i think thats only if it leaks, but how do you find out?

howdy... my skyline aint got a BOV.. but has a POD... anyways... i want a BOV on the beast and by what i have read... being a girl and all... a BOV basically could lengthen the life of ur turbo... any one object? or has reasons y i shouldn't invest in one??

[[ant]]

u dont want Atmo bov and plumbback. coz the plumbback is known to leak over certain boost levels which will lose u boost. thats one of the reasons u upgrade to HKS or watever. as far as pressure goes, it wont make much difference since its just doubling the release of air which is good. some going back in will act like them hybrid bovs too stopping it stalling or watever coz it stil lgets air back to the AFM. but it will make the HKS quieter too probably coz not as much air coming out of it.

id remove the original i reckon. just block up the places where it goes in i.e. put blockers up any pipes that are left from it's removal. easy.

no need for 2! or yeh u could also just jam it shut somehow but easier to take it off and fill the holes with something and clamp it up nice n tight.

R33NismoGirl, this is worthy of a read:

I personally wouldnt waste the money. Some people just like the sound.

R33NismoGirl: If you're worried about your turbo but dont wanna spend hundreds by a stock one second hand from someone and bolt that on... easy, efficient and cheap....

The stock bov is desigened to leak to stop over boosting.

it bleeds off about 2-3psi.

R33NismoGirl - Your car has a blow off valve standard. Has it been removed?

Ash - there is nothing really wrong with having 2 BOVs. (GTRs have 2). The factory one would have been left in place to help with maintaining the factory idle characteristics. The 2 valves will flow much better than 1 and will therefore work more effectively.

Cameron & Ash - There is a thread on these forums about modifying the stock BOV that you may find interesting.

Thats cause gtr's have 2 turbos hehe

yer i've herd the bov mod works good.... ?

[CerealKiller]

I have two BOVs - the stock one and a Blitz one.

I've been told that simply changing where the vaccuum lines goes will have either BOV working (ie. vaccuum line into Blitz will have Blitz bov working and vice versa) is this true?

[cameron]

thats weird on all the skylines i've seen they only have one bov, when they get the aftermarket one put on the stock one is removed. ???

Well I am going to disagree with a few people here then...

recently I installed a pod, K&N tapered with chrome end...have had it for about as long as they have made this model (used to be on one of my dads many drag engines) anyway it sounds awesome, good suction noise and scares the bejesus out of the od commo driver...

You CAN hear the standard bov, and it is working fine, however I have replaced the standard BOV with a GFB stealth and all I can say is giddy up...

At full plumb back it seems to hold and come on boost quicker, I am aiming to dyno to prove my point unless someone beats me to it, has already been proven on a s15...

add to this at FULL atmo the car STILL idles like factory no backfiring, no hiccups nothing, its all a matter of a bit of spring adjustment. This is only factory boost (9psi??) and I am very happy...espcially after I replaced the BOV gasket with a new one as the old one created a high pitched squel which was in fact a boost leak....

hey guys

Ok nowim confused 1 dude says its ok to have a stockie BOV with ya BLITZ BOV ...and another says seal it....and another says just switch the vacuum hose over to the BLITZ BOV .....ok guys so wat should i do then .....????? plz someone tell me way to many opinions on this subject :headspin: ....oh yeh can someone help me with the reason y i get a small backfire wen after the BOV goes off????

[R33NismoGirl]

as far as i can see i dont have one... but i have been tol i do but it dont make noise?! i dunno i new to skylines only had it for 10 months & still learning more everyday... if someone caould give me some more info on where to find to standard BOV that would help other than that i am lost... thanx for the tips guys... i am thinking NOT 2 worry about getting one. i just got my beast back after a cracked head & head gasket lol shit happens... damn trucks!

[DJ984]

If you have a stock airbox you won't hear the stock BOV...

i havn't got a pic to post but if you look at the pipe where the air inlet connnects to the intake manifold (near the firewall)... you'll see the stock bov with a black rubber hose coming off it.... sorry, i'm not very good at explaining but if someone can post a pic that'll show you where it is....
