I used to love my old Turbosmart Supersonic, had a cool schh schh schh sound between a vent and a dose. Problem was though, literally EVERY time I got pulled over, the cops would either pick on or notice it.

Ended up going to an ARC which I also had VTA, didnt sound bad either. This was due to my cooler piping not being stock and not having anywhere to recirc to and my own laziness in not rectifing this lol.

Also wasn't running a MAF ;)

Bahahahahaha. Lol. I'm sorry this thread is awesome makes my day so much better reading it.

Dude! You obviously want an atmo bov so go on YouTube or go check out George street of a sat night.

That is all dot dot dot dot.

I only changed mine to a Turbosmart Raceport when I went to single turbo and also ViPec ems. Getting rid of that also gave my oil cooler a home. I'm a fan of the standard GTR valves as they are proven and work well.

I just needed some extra space ;) lol

Hey Fellas, Serious question.. If someone had to run a haltech ecu which eliminates the purpose of the standard afms... would that make a aftermarket BOV work ok?

I've got a R32 GTR, Standard BOV's and near stock... Not intending on changing my bov's either they sound good and cops cant f**k me up but was just curious hey

thanks !

Yes that's fine.

I wonder why so many people dont do it then if its going to make the difference between making your car run like shit and making it run fine...

ah well.. thanks for the response man :)

Read this 4 times still no understand

You wonder why they don't change it

Or you wonder why people do it

Sorry it was regarding the haltech i spoke about.

if say you were to run one and it would make your car run good with aftermarket bov's then why dont people do it rather then just chucking a aftermarket bov with standard afm which leads to dramas.

Well they aren't exactly cheap lol.

Most people that run atmo bov's either don't know the problems they can cause, or they aren't reallyyyyyyyy that interested in performance and so wouldn't spend a lot of money on an ECU with capabilities like a Haltech. Just judging by appearance, most people I can see who ask about running atmo bov's on here tend to be all about the image of fast cars. They like the noises and the appearance, but don't want to spend the money to make it all work properly.

Not saying everybody who runs an atmo bov is in that category. Just an observation.

    • I've been building a 26/30 for a few years now. I've had the head built with all the good stuff. I had a 32 gtr but blew it up and yes its all going into a vl but im looking for some advice from some RB nuts on pros and cons on putting a 26 head on a 30 bottom end is it worth it Works are as follows Head -Extensive porting 1mm oversized supertech valves Supertech double springs Supertech valve guides Supertech titanium retainers Tomei solid lifters Tomei 270 x 10.25 cams Head drain Bottom end series 2 rb30 block Cp ceramic coated pistons Eagle rods Romac balancer Oil restrictions  O ringed blah blah spent a fortune And will get a girdle because the 30s arent used to handling that much rpm Nitto billet oil pump Hypertune plenum 6boost mani Refurbed astra pump thats the cover for it in the boot I did have a precision 6262 but sold it because drag car life. Currently building the ass end full 4 link floater rear end with a 2 speed  But the dilemma i have is my mate rekens I should just stick with the 30 head for reliability. Has any one had any issues with mounting the 26 head ie compression blowing gaskets etc. Just looking for some advice from people who have gone down this route. Here's some photos. Blew the oil pump in the gtr and decided to rip the motor out at the time and do a full build only to find it had been a repairable write off so went down this path.

    • lol no cats running str pipes … might put the high flow back on but I suspect it might effect my ignition timing a bit. 
    • That looks a bit like yellowing to me. If the rear bar was looking like that from rich idle, I'd ask the question, do you have a catalytic converter fitted, and fully working?
    • Oh yeah gets really bad down here. I’ll have to upgrade the heater and wind screen wipers as well for optimal performance.
