AAAARRRRRGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Just got my new Greddy BOV FV.

This came out of it.

Really rough inside, cut your finger easy.

Valve is very very hard to push in by hand, even when sucking on it.

Retainer ring on the bottom isn't gold.

Silicone tube doesn't have Greddy logo on it and is smaller OD.

You know what I'm getting at.

Seller more than happy to refund and pay for return postage.

Phew.

Ok Scotty, I'll wait for the tune mate.

is it a genuine Greddy? how much did you pay for that? at least, it should not cut your finger.

you need go for Greddy soft spring, plumb back adapter also. but you can't get rid of pigeon sound unless you tune the car.

I'm pretty sure it's a fake.

No way I'm fitting it with metal shards coming off.

Greddy website has a warning on the RS models.

This FV has all the same things wrong/ different as in the pictures.

Paid $97 including Nissan adapter plate.

Others are selling it for $360

Don't say it

Scott. What's your take on bov vs no bov for response and making boost?

I've tried a few, standard, blitz etc. and have found they all leak and in return partial to half throttle suffers.

The stock BOV with a grubscrew was ok, bit of hesitation as you come off boost to a cruise.

Once I changed to the Turbosmart Kompact plumback I never had an issue.

Personally I only use a BOV blanking for diagnosing faults, I would never block it off for any high boost runs, there is a good chance you will twist the turbine shaft or damage the compressor wheel.

We have run no BOV on all our non Borg Warner EFR equipped race cars with no adverse effects. Having said that I won't do it on my stag as the compressor stall sound is so loud it's embarrassing.

Blocking the OEM bleed hole makes surge worse but improves spool, so you have to make your choice.

Sounds like the Kompact is a good unit.

Oh, update on my 33gtr BOV. It improved surge due to a softer spring but it bleed air due to intake oscillations....which is what I expect causes the surge. I moved the BOV sense line to the fuel reg output further up the plenum which helped a little bit.

Running a modded Rb25 BOV atm. Seems the same as the M35

Thanks. I'm a bit worried about the turbo at high boost. But not willing to sacrifice my cruising response for it.

Are you using the normal one designed for Nissan not the dual port Scotty? I thought everyone was having issues due to it not being adjustable? Or did you get a softer spring or is it a non issue because yours is tuned?

Yes Phil, you can buy different springs for them, but I bolted mine straight on and it worked well out of the box. I guess the tune is compensated nicely, although I suspect it has a lot to do with the design of the 3 inch intake too and how the return is plumbed back in.

I couldn't decide which colour to go for so I've decided to keep both and twin turbo the VQ25DET

That should get rid of the shudder

Australias first twin turbo M35

They aren't turbos. ?

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
