Soooooo..... The "really cool noise to scare people lolz!" im sorta after that noise i got my eyes set on: TurboXS H-RFL Bovus Maximus Apexi Turbosmart Anyone got any of these Bov's or know what they sound like and how loud they are??
http://www.gfb.com.au/ Go to Sounds Now you just need a giant wing and a big ugly front bumper and try to fly away! LOL
I did but no one gave links to some of the BOV im after the sound of them, I know there LOUD but what do they sound like
I guess my instructions were too complicated, http://www.gfb.com.au/index.php?parentid=sounds&option=sounds There, now u can just click that directly!
No u did it right lol i was replying to decoy on y i made my post Your the first to post a link to sounds of them not just say there so MASSIVELY OMEGA LOUD THEYLL BLOW YOUR EARS OUT i intend to get a Bomex kit and my stock spoiler is fine im not as ricer as you think
Got any proof there buddy your comment is not substantiated by any tech info I have on file for the Z32. More wives tales I suspect. Mate if you actually had a Z32 300zx I would dare you to remove the factory and any other BOV's fitted and drive the car around to see how long it takes to stuff the turbos. They would fail!!!! go back to the Z31 forums geez RoryZ dont listen to 300zxt you DO need BOV's or damage will result. They are a safety system designed to protect the turbos against compressor surge and stalling.
If you want "omg look at me I'm loud yet slow!" then this is what you want... http://www.gfb.com.au/index.php?par...&sub_option=bovs&sub_sub_option=bovus_maximus Apparently it's stupid loud, but there's a plumb back fitting available for it also for when you grow out of your ricer phase... lol Just teasing
No thats right just the whole engine and ancillary piping etc is totally different and reacts differently to most other turbocharged cars.
Well if the turbochargers in a Z32 even come close to spinning near their stall envelope at a measly 14psi then that's a pretty shitty setup then. Even with the max. unwastegated pressures created by a T3 turbo which is 20psi or so a bov is not vital...
The stock turbos are very small (like a T22 size I think from memory and suited to a 1.5 litre motor each side) and this is why its critical to have BOV's as the compressor flow map has a rather close surge curve. Thats why I and others may seemingly come down hard on you when you give advice. Its really hard to give advice on something you for one dont own and two know seemingly little about. The biggest problem with that is one of the younger members will one day take your advice stuff there dream car and wont be able to afford to get it fixed and their Z dream will be over. So by all means post on things you know about but stuff like this directly relating to the Z32 leave it to people that do know what works and what doesnt. Cheers
Partly because I'm lazy, and partly because this guy worded it good I found this posted by the Moderator over at 300zxclub, Everyone has their own personal opinions, but to say you HAVE to have a bov or die is just flat out wrong... I've got a mate with a Z32 TT making well over 400rwhp still with the stock recircs, alot of people here think more boost = more power which is totally wrong, better boost = more power... You can upgrade your turbos and be making MORE power at 8psi than you would be at 14psi with the stock turbos for example...
Okay I think I see where you are coming from now. To clarify you are stating you dont need a BOV for a Z32 meaning an aftermarket type BOV to replace the factory BOV's or recirculation valves as you may call them. If thats the case then thats correct accept when you are looking at boosting over stock boost as mentioned in other posts as the stock BOV's (recircs) will bleed boost at anything over 10ish psi I think from tests done in the past. If however you are stating you dont need BOV's plain and simple in any way shape or form unless making more than 20psi of boost then thats just plain wrong and I interpreted your previous posts as this later option. Please clarify

so did i, which is exactly what he was saying[/QUOTE] Dont know BHP I thought so too thats why I queried him but still no reply
Correct, I was saying that bovs are not essential in themselves as in a "blow off valve" vs a "recirculation valve" which are basically the complete opposite of each other and are not the same. Obviously a recirc valve doesn't "blow off" as it plumbs back into the intake, calling a recirc valve a type of bov is slightly incorrect and that's where the confusion came about I believe. Anyway the whole point to this is that bovs are expensive, and you guys have to buy two of the damn things and the money could be spent elsewhere! Why bother if you dont need them? The stock recircs are fine, but someone wants to increase the boost above what the stock recirc can hold right? Well how about they take that money they were going to spend on bovs which would of been well over $500 and get an intercooler installed for example... Now they'll have a lower intake charge temp and will build better boost and make more power at lower boost settings. I have a couple of friends who have spent SO much money on their cars. Brand new rims, noisy ass bovs, 20 layer metallic paint jobs, big ass body kits and all this other junk. At the end of the day they have a car that they've spent $10,000+ on and it's still slow as crap. If that's what you want then awesome, but when people are bombarded with unnecessary upgrades claimed as neccessary then I can see how they start burning money on needless parts. Again it is a personal opinion, if you want a fancy looking stock car then awesome but there is ALOT of places for money to be spent on actual performance upgrades before worrying about blow off valves. But when you have people who want the loudest bov in the world to be cool, then what can you do? lol
actually, as far as i can tell from members of this forum, most tend to go for the hybrid recirc/bov's, to get the best of both worlds, get the "whoooosssshhh" if they want it, or plumb back into the intakes, whatever takes your fancy, i am going to do the same, i have straight blitz bov's at the moment, when i got the car it had the aftermarket bov's installed already as well as the stock recirc valves, i removed the recirc valves cheers
