Hello,

I'm planning to boost at about 25psi. I wanted to replace my BOV with the Turbosmart dual port ( at low psi, it recircule, at high pressure, it will open up and vent it for a sweet sound)

Or should I recirculate completely the system? I heard a recircule BOV will elimate the stalling issue at low rpm but from what I read, the oem bov hold its pressure better so you are always on-boost between gear.

Will I really feel that extra performance giving by a recircule BOV or its negligeable ?

Thank you very much for your input as I never droven an OEM setup and don't know how the boost/pressure feel.

So THAT'S what I've been doing wrong all this time?! Damn.

Better change to the flutter sound, that HAS to pull the chicks right??

:D

... On a serious note, if you dont want the stock BOV, upgrade to GTR spec (if you dont already have one), or recirculate the Dual Port. I actually use a dual port recirculated.. Looks pretty ;)

Why don't you just go with the proven stock GTR setup?

You know it's good... Not really sure why you wouldn't then use it.

Well.. it was made for 13psi.. not 25psi.. Not sure if it will hold up and honestly not interesting in doing the test myself jsut to find out I have to re-do it agian because its leaking.

Are you kidding?

They hold over 30psi and over 550rwkw. Seen it with my own eyes on 3 different setups.

No need to do testing yourself when there are 100s of people before you. There are countless users here all running stock items. Just go look in the dyno thread or search "GTR BOV" :thumbsup:

Well No I wasnt kidding. I spoke about oem bov at our latest skyline meet and most people were anxious about runing oem over 17-18psi. I will look into it. thanks!

Bah don't listen to them. I bet they've never tried to do it. Just like people saying you need a aftermarket FPR and what not for moderate setups... Fact is if the stock gear is working fine - you don't! Save your cash :)

I ran 24psi/GT3040 through a single GTR BOV on my RB25, it would flutter ever so slightly so probably a needed to be a bit bigger, or go to dual BOV's.

Your stock bov is recirculating, so why replace it if it works fine? An aftermarket bov will a) get you defected, b) cause stalling issues and popping as it vents metered air c) cost lots of money d) make everyone think you are a dickhead.

So you are basically paying money to sound like a dickhead, get defected and make you car run worse. Seems like value for money I guess?

Not much will be lucky if it holds 1bar

Holds over a bar no problem.

What psi is the stock gtst bov good or recommended for?

Plenty, get a GTR bov if you have issues, they will run 30psi fine.

edit: on 18psi with a stock rb25 bov I get a tiny bit off flutter when I back off on a WOT gear change, but it flows plenty for the rest of the time.

I run an aftermarket BOV

If your gonna buy an aftermarket one, run full plumback no atmo. You should still hear the noise if thats really of concern, it will just be slightly quieter then if it was atmo

I absolutely agree that the Stock BOV will hold fine, I just dont like the way they sound.

Right now I run 2 blitz and one is seized. And I'm having stalling issue hence why I looked into recir BOV. I have a BNR32 that his mild tuned already. But 1 summer ago when my both BOV were working and at 17psi I had zero issue.

At the moment, I had 3 options:

1) Run one blitz and one OEM

2) Run the Turbosmart dual port alone

3) Run the turbosmart dual port and one oem

My friend's car actually run 2 HKS atmo and one OEM but I think the atmo take over the OEM bov. I will simply install it and run the car without bumper and see what can stop my stalling issue.

Hi guys might be a stupid question but what model gtr bov should you recommend or are they all the same?

I got defected with mine venting to atmo, I have an aftermarket plenum, stock bottom and aftermarket top half.

If my intake doesn't have a port to recirculate can I plumb it into my airbox? Or will that be not enough to pass defect clearance?

    • Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts. 
    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild. 
    • If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.
    • Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.
    • Hey everyone! Im so grateful to be apart of this community and ill do my best to be apart of this. Firstly, i'm not disclosing my real name due to in real life circumstances surrounding my privacy and public image (sorry lol) Secondly, The only thing personal I am willing to share is that I'm from Sydney and a descendant of one of Sydneys largest mortgage firms. I got gifted my first ever car, a 2022 Porsche Cayenne and I love it to death. Ive been driving it for about 5 or 6 months now and honestly Im so grateful for my parents for gifting me this vehicle. However recently I've been working my ass off to afford my second car (which I need help deciding soooooo community help me out please?). Once decided, im planning to try modify it myself. Recent I've been thinking about getting a Skyline, particularly a 25GT or GT-V, yes I know overrated as hell, but I'm also considering a Chaser which I recently came to love. However my dream is to one day own a 180SX (So hard to find clean versions and im not really into importing).  Lastly before I send this off, I want to apologize if I sound tacky or pretentious. I try not to and want to genuinely learn from everyone and anyone. (Im no expert in this area) Thanks for reading!
