Did we come to a final conclusion on this old thread ref BOV location (inner pipe/outer pipe or stock recirc location) or does anybody have any updated techical data/details to varify best BOV location for high power Z32 application?

Am i right in thinking its best to leave the standard ones on?

oh god, not this debate again lol, there are pro's and con's to both side of the argument. but for everyday use, personally i cant see a problem with after market BOV's if you like the sound, then go for it.

My understanding is 600 brake max's out stock recircs, and BOV's (all stupid noises etc aside) are of benefit when you go above a certain power figure?

anything over 600 and i would say atmospheric valves are a must for eliminating the chances of turbine stall, (just as long as they are set up correctly).

 

the closer to the throttle bodies the better, this will help keep the flow heading in the correct direction.

:confused1:Cheers bud, that was my understanding also, ie. that the closer the bov/s are to the throttle body the better....however the last few posts on the 'old thread' sort of turned that on its head and contradict this stating that if the bov's are located close to the throttle body then it actually has a detrimental effect on a Z's performance??? :confused1:

 

Does anybody know if this is fact (indicating that the Z32 is very different to the majority of motors) or unproven?

 

 

I've seen a few examples of bov's on Z32's inner hard pipes, outer hard pipes and in the stock recirc location.

 

**and please this is a genuine query of bov location on a VG30DETT and not a debate on the pro's and cons of Bov (with their pointless whooshing noise yada, yada etc) vs stock recircs**

 

 

all info welcome, there's obviously a genuine reason for the question being asked

like i said, as long as they are set correctly to open at the desired/optimum pressure for the engines setup, i can't see any reason why they would impede on performance

Cheers bud, that's good enough for me :thumbup1:
