for all of you in here that are saying your bovs flutter.. you are mistaken.

that is not your bov making the fluttering sound.. It is CAUSING the fluttering sound, but not making it..

If the bov doesn't open at low boost, the air doesn't come out with a normal psshh or squeek in the HKS ones, it goes back through the turbo and goes.. ffftt tt tt tt tt tt

And someone mentioned the turbo the WRX rally cars use..

Rally cars do not use Bov's..

That sound is still the sound caused by the air going back through the turbo, but when you add anti lag to it and different intercoolers and turbo blades and so on, it has that weird high pitched fluttering sound.

I had the R2D2 on mine and it was runing rich.

so I put the standard thing back on. I didn't like how it would have a constant sssssssssssssssss sound on cruise sort of loads so I now have a GFB plumback one which just makes a weird muffled FFTT HHHHHHHH sound on gear changes.

I personally like the sound of the HKS SSQ bov but I don't like having a full atmo venting bov.. the car just doesn't feel right..

ROY, I don't think that that white supra from the Best motoring video had a bov did it? it was making a really loud fluttering/skidding sound..

Werd!

Awesome when you lift off throttle slowly at high boost! Hear both go off one after the other.

i had a blitz mounted right next to my 'cooler on the '33 - anybody that heard it could confirm that it was INSANELY loud (you could hear it from the other end of the harbour tunnel)...

I have a brand new blitz on the 180, it is set really tight because i am still running standard boost, but will soon test it out once i get more stuff on there.

i reckon the sound my pod filter makes is loud enough... nice and legal too :D

it makes a nice psshhhhhhhh noise when ya come off the throttle, i looked at the factory BOV and it looks like it would flow more than enough air for the boost i'm running.

51jay runs 14psi through his factory turbo at the track and the standard BOV holds its boost just as well as the GFB hybrid one he has now.

At what point is a BOV actually required, i will probably run about a bar through my turbo when i get a boost controller. Is there really need for a aftermarkt BOV at that level?

Yea you need to adjust the spring cuz you're letting too much air out causing the engine to stall.

My vote for best BOV is Blitz. The apexi is good cuz of the price, but some have been recalled cuz they sometimes detach from the flange while driving :eek:

Plus they can't hold much boost and rust over the years

...ummm.. pod filters are ILLEGAL for street use..

So you might not get fined for the stock bov but you WILL for the pod filter.

Unless you paid a couple of hundred buck extra to get an engineers certificate saying that your pod filter meets all the regulations..

Not all pod filters are illegal... Paper non oiled (like simota etc) are fine... it's only oiled ones like K&N or HKS etc.. that are illegal due to the oil entering the atmosphere as an unknown pollutant.... I know it's BS but thats the rules....

Another handy side feature of running a MAP based ECU - no potential atmo BOV related AFM/stalling issues :D

Mick51,

The factory GTS-t / GTS25t BOV can flow more than enough air *up to a point* I never had a drama with my standard BOV until about the 220+rwkw mark. It wasn't that the valve leaked, it just wasn't able to flow enough air, which resulted in compressor surge (fluttering sound - NOT good).

I now use a GFB "Basic" It's cheap & outflows almost all the other GFB BOV's (& quite a few others!). After all the whole point of a BOV is to dump pressurised air on closed throttle, so the BOV's CFM rating is what really counts!

      A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.

      Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.

      Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?

      Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.

      Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪
