Hey guys, I was just wondering if someone (hopefully more than one) would be able to answer my question....

I own a R34 GTT (if u didn't already guess that from my name) I got the semi-auto gearbox, is it ok to install a BOV and still make it sound alright?

People have told me it doesn't sound good, so i was just wondering,

Will it work, or should i leave it stocko?

thanks.

yeah you can do it, you just dont get the noise through the gear changes however it doesn't mean you cant have one. But if you want a cooler noise, install an fmic w/ pod filter, much louder and sounds alot better when you get off the throttle. (you get that noice flutter sound)

Your car already has a BOV.

If you want sound, install a pod filter. Its cheaper than buying a BOV, you get a performance increase, you have no problems with bad idling and its legal (in some states).

I have an Auto R33 gts25t and all I did was install a POD for about $100 and now I get people asking me what BOV I have, and they are amazed when I say its stock.

If you power on the pedel and jump off, it still makes a BOV noise like a manual.

cheers

    • I'm late to the party on this one but good to see common sense has prevailed and the turbo kit is coming. 
    • She's looking good Greg. Colour suits it perfectly 👍
    • I had a look at the FAB9 EFR kit, around $8500 AU before delivery, so add in shipping, installation, consumables and tuning, I believe the price difference would be negligible  And whilst I am paying top dollar at MX5 Mania, if I have any issues with the kit they are local for support,  and from my experience, will happily go out of their way to help, hell, I've purchased parts from them and asked "how do I install or remove parts" and they have fitted a few of them for free, this means more to me than saving a few thousand dollars And yes, 99% of the time I just plod around in the car, that may change once I start hearing turbo whooshy noises, but, as I have 3 family members is the constabulary, even when I'm up it, it is only up to the speed limit, or occasionally, but rarely, overtaking on the Hwy (I just plod in the left lane typically and enjoy the drive) Plus the kids would never let it go if I got booked speeding, Jackie is constantly getting critiqued by the kids about her driving, which I think is hilarious, and tell them that she is "bringing shame to our family", so heaven forbid if I ever got done speeding, after all my mouthing off about her driving, I would never live it down, and it would be another thing she would bring up any chance she got Like the time I got drunk about 15 years ago and fell out of a cab, which gets brought up at least a few times every year since it happened Good times
    • True, might get it looked at. Found out you can in fact flatten the 12v battery relatively easily too the other day (kids lefts the hazards on) so meaning to get that checked in the new year. What's odd is it'll blow cold from both vents if you have the ac down as low as poss (18), but anything else the passenger one blows warmish. Also has been summer since I got it obvs but noticed it didn't seem to want to blow hot last night when we had a cold snap.
