plumb-back bovs...damn cops!

[NZM.031]

hey guys,

after a visit from mr. highway patrol concerning my car. i have decided to clean up all defectable items, of which i only have one. my hks ssqv bov. i modified it at work today, put an extension off the housing and plumbed it back in to the intake.

i knew i'd lose the high pitch ching sound, but i was hoping for a tough sounding loud flutter, like the green drift r32 4 door on hpi 8 or the hpi R34 (which has a turbosmart bov), i got nothing but the flutter sound as per normal just without the ching sound. i didnt think id miss the sound but i do.

anyone know of any tough sounding plumb-backs?? is it just a matter of more boost through it or are proper plumb backs made differently??

cheers

Linton, have you considered a GFB Stealth FX? They can be switched between full venting, partial venting and full plumbback. Best of both worlds.

yeh i have, but ive heard they can still defect u for it, if they are the unhappy or unknowing kind, and most are.

the car is being setup for drift, and ive noticed that all the jap drifters go to extreme lengths to plumb back their bovs. so id like to go all out plumb back, but that said, theirs no reason why i cant still have a decent sounding bov, just wondering what that bov is.

ive tried a search but after sifting through threads i couldnt come up with anything.

cheers

You can do what I want to do, leave the stock BOV in the normal place but with a blanking plate, then mount your cool sounding BOV somewhere out of sight. Because I have FMIC pipes going all over the place I have space inside the front wheel arch (under the radiator overflow bottle where you cant see it unless its up on a hoist).

HEY.

these two words do NOT go together.

TOUGH and PLUMBACK.

i have a GFB plumback. its pretty loud still and i even get a bit of turbo chatter sound if not at full boost , i think it sounds pretty good

[=premo=]

ive got my stock BOV plumback and a pod filter and it sounds well fitter than my mates turbosmart BOV. usless info i supose cuz pod filters = defect

Jordan.... we have done that to a mates 180, mounted it behind the front bar.

AKtive.... yes there are such things as plumb back with a crazy sound... the turbosmart plumb-back, rather than the quiet flutter noise, its makes a loud DOOOOOV DOOOV DOOV sound. i dont really want one of the turbosmart bovs though.

cheers
