hi guyzzz. heard a lot of talk about bovs and some of you think their grand and needy and sum recon that the zed doesnt need them whats your preferance on it, I just picked up my new zed 2day and its a dream nasty girl to drive looving it its an 89 tt 4seater charcoal grey and has some mods, I'll post up the pics real soon but get back on the bovs oh shes an auto maybe bovs really not needed with auto???? thanx
bov mate bovs on autos are always a bit wierd in my oppinion, although if u do go down that road, dont get something purelly 2 scare grannies get something functional that wont wake the dead
BOVS Not a fan of those, they have a fluttery sound and only attract cops and give u a defect, an illegal add on.
the twin turbo's have stock bov...these also restrict the sound etc....anything upgraded is a plus....lol... if your going to get some bov i would personally take the stock ones out and put the new ones in the same location.
PSSSSHHHHH! IMHO u will be prefecly fine without a BOV, ur choice though, i have no idea if auto changes that or not
yeah agree this is my 2nd zed in 6 weeks my 1st went up like a roman candle but that one had apexi bov just under the air pod but it didnt make any noise at all it also had three settings which I not to familiar with... still learning at 39...
the dead need waking my bov's wake the dead and i love it, it must be the boy racer in me and don't take that the wrong way!
IMHO, recirc valves unless you like the noise or are pushing high horsepower at which point the stock recirc valves are recommended to be upgraded (look on twinturbo.net if you want more info, I believe they recommended upgrading after 600whp). However, if you are considering getting BOV's, might I suggest you spend your money on maintenance first. Getting this Z into good working order so that it is suitable for upgrade should be your goal at this stage. Wouldn't want another one going up in smoke now would we?
thanx thats exactly what I m doing making sure shes up tp scratch doing the 100k serv with robs G.B supply in the next 3 weeks just to be sure but this car has had all the services done by one zed shop in melbourne all the reciepts and history where given to me and this same shop did comp, conzult road worthy test etc spent quite a bit of money making sure it was worth buying and not getting a pig my first zed went up in smoke three weels ago and only had it for 4 dayz soooo this one was checked out again and again the mechanic had enough of me towards the end post up some pics soon
Well like others have said, the stock set up is fine. Your not really off the throttle between shifts with an auto, unlike a manual and imo bov,s are not necessary! But if your keen for em, dont by crap ebay one's, they'll get binned shortly after. Turbosmart GFB ect are good, and yes i have bov's, snap!
thanx beaver, yeah had them on the first apexi bovs but seeing that you really dont need them in an auto might concentrate on some other thing like driving it and just having a cruzzzee time in her
