Since we're on the subject thought I'd ask

Where off the plenum do people usually plumb the vacume hose from? any pics?

Ive just installed a GFB BOV and Ive been driving lightly with it seems like everytime I take the foot off the throttle I get a surge, unless thats what the BOV is suppose to sound like.

hey guys

well i wanna take the standard bov on my car and just wanna know how to do it and where can i get plugs from

Why do you want to take the BOV off for? they are put on from the factory for a reason. Turbo cars become real jerky to drive with them removed and you can also damage your turbo. They are there to vent some of the compressed air off

if this turns into *another* BOV vs no BOV thread i think i'm going to kill myself <_<

If you want to take the bov off as mentioned already it'll only be held in by a couple of of bolts. Once it is off, you will need a plate to block off the original outlet, and you'll need to seal up the hose that plubs back into the inlet tract.

    • Clinton and I spoke to Alan Heaphy at length last year at the Bathurst 1000 about the Gibson GTR's that he had at the track and the restoration work that his company was involved with. He has a number of people working for him who were part of Gibson Motorsport when these cars were being built and raced. What impressed me the most was the amount of first hand knowledge and information that he and his team have about the Gibson GTR's and their meticulous attention to detail in the restoration and maintenance of these cars.
    • When you track RPM vs time it's clean, unlike the OEM one, even with filtering there are ripples. Means no random misfires or triggering issues at higher RPM, especially if you have big lift cams and a noisier valve train due to heavier springs.
    • Brake Fluid testers are cheap and readily available....eg https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/endeavour-brake-fluid-tester-rechargeable/SPO9539349.html
    • Cleaner signal so timing is more accurate at all rpm also found it to start more on first rotation but could also be I've nailed prime and crank fuel. For under $400 and 30mins of your time, its a good solution especially once the optical sensor does start to play up you won't notice it until in higher rpm and it heat soaks.
    • On a 400hp RB, what benefits other than "it's not 30+ years old" are you seeing from the NZ Wiring Kit trigger setup? If it were me going to change triggering, my belief would be to go for a crank trigger to remove the issues caused by what people claim is belt stretch etc, but that's from my understanding a much larger issue for super high power, rather than those in the 400hp and below club.
