Hey guys/gals,

Got given a spare BOV when bought car but have no idea what it is? Can anyone help? Trying to figure out if it's any good, worth putting in, worth anything?

Measure around 32mm at the bottom.

Thanks in advance,

Justin

Probably a chinese knock off...........and a cop magnet!!!!

Anyway the std BOV works just fine for pretty big power numbers, if you use it all you'll end up with is a defect and a car that stalls at the lights. Put it on ebay and sell it on.

It'll just get you a defect and sound gay, probably leak as well just to piss you off

I'll stay with the factory BOV. It works just fine. Will Ebay it off.

Thanks for the heads up.

SAU is generally pretty good, anyone who posts generally retarded shit like that gets shut down pretty quickly, nissansilvia is great if you like those kind of topics though haha

lol. Yeah its pretty funny hey, i suppose they lack of tools is why people get smacked so fast when they ask questions about useless shit like doseing and fitting aftermarket bov's etc. I mean, everyone is entitled to their opinion on the matter, but it is covered so f**king often that its a joke. I bet the silvia forum is really good for these topics! "how do i fit my shiny bov that has unit stickers on it"?

      to have this type of adjustment possible with a curve as I wish, what budget (engine) should be planned?

      Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.

      They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.

      I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
