Heres a little quick video from last night grab it quick:

Greddy TT 350Z Vs. S/C Bolton Cobra Vs. Chris's APS TT 350Z:

Video

More to come....

:D

looks like fun :)

+1 be safe :)

hahaha!!! nice man, wish i could have made it out last night.

we will do a C16 tune and map so we can go smoke some big dog domestic fuel slut guys :icon38:

Congrats Chris, I know it's been a long time coming! I'd love to see a vid of you taking out a c6 z06...CG of course :hmmm:

That was only low boost too. :D

See ya later for some more fun F-CON tuning.

Hey cant see your videos becuase of where I am at.
Can you post (in a diffrent pic host) or PM me some pics of the beast??

-Luie

oh i cant watch it...when will it be on youtube?

Congrats on the new power.....Definitely need more video! Rear view FTL and Switch it up to high boost:cool:

good to see some vids again man

true!! i missed those too :icon11:

care to post pics of the dual SSQV's. i bet they sound awesome

Speed shots ftw, I wanna see some at 15PSI

You mean 17? :D

I told chris he should try running the silver insert in one and the purple in the other for an insane JDM ricer sound!

lol, or better yet, put a duck call on them both (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbNxu...eature=related )

on a serious note, i dont believe i've ever heard a car with dual BOV's, but i imagine the sound is somewhat stereophonic and probably sounds pretty cool

Someone request a picture of the setup:

They are super loud it's insane at times im not even boosting but still in vac they still go off, you hear it all due to the fact of how exposed they are.

damn chris, those dual SSQV's look so awesome with that INGS Nspec front end.

n00b question here, however. wouldnt you want the BOV's after the intercooler and before the throttle body, or does it really make no difference? i'm very curious about this.

Every dual BOV set-up Ive ever heard has been quieter than a single BOV on the same car. Id like to hear some clips....

Actually, before or *on* the intercooler is ideal.

The purpose of the BoV is to prevent the throttle plate from closing and causing air to surge back through the compressor blades on the turbo. Having it closer to the compressor outlet allows it to vent air from the intercooler core and retain air in the piping between the intercooler and throttle plate. This means that the compressor has less piping to fill when the car is back in boost, meaning slightly better boost response between shifts.

That's the theory, at least......

thats a very interesting explanation craig, thanks for clearing that up with me.

the way i had pictured it in my mind, it seemed most logical ( to me at least) for the BOV to be closer to the throttle butterfly. this way, when the butterfly closes, the charged air has a quick path of escape through the BOV, since it would be so close. however, after thinking about it for a minute or so, your explanation makes more sense

the biggest pressure buildup will be between the turbo(s) and the intercooler. my vote (and choice) is weld them right on the end tanks....if you have the option. :icon38:

Right, but how many of us are willing to cut into our $800+ intercoolers? That's why I'd prefer to do it right before.

Best for your turbo= before intercooler(Less compressor surge)
Best for throttle response=after intercooler(More compressed air in system)

I'll agree to disagree on the last part. It's not compressed anymore if you're pushing it out of a BoV. Either way, the response aspect of it is very minute for the most part. First and foremost issue is avoiding compressor surge.

If you're worried about damaging a turbo you could always just run 2 BOV's one pre-intercooler one after :)

this totally contradicts what Craig just posted :icon14:

hhahah.. why not just make it an even four? That'd be JDM tyte.

I would definitely rather have a turbo that lasts 20k miles more than slightly better throttle response. That's why NLTS was invented!

In high HP cars we run two BOV's however we tend to run them near the throttle plate. In the end pressure is pressure and once an opening is created pressure will exit out of the path of least resistance.

Once the throttle plate is closed pressure doesen't necessairly reverse direction, however it could stay dormant.

Will you guys STFU?

JK. :p

Like Andrew said, the best option would be before the turbos and intercooler.

BOV's before the turbo's?

SORRY to add to the confusion. I mean between the turbo and IC.

lol, i was pretty sure i knew what you meant, i was just being an ass

i actually run two BOVs before the turbo on the intake pipes, two on the intercooler on the very top of it, two on the intake manifold, two on the boost solenoid, two on the muffler and two on the rear two injectors...


i get the best throttle response, best injector firing, best intercooler safety ( big in my book ) best turbo intake safety and of course, i can spool up at full boost by 1250 rpms....

too bad we're not all ballers who can afford to run 12 bov's like you jeremy. only one for me.

1 BOV=Scrub Status
2=low-level pimpin status
12=Baller status

someone's been hittin' the sauce :hmmm:

i actually have 6 of them that i put in the back of my car for better traction.



more weight in back = better traction

What about one BIG BoV? :icon38:

well then that's gangster :cool:

rice.

Bark with no bite is a no no:icon39:

:eek:

Oh snap.

it would have to be pretty damn big to be more baller than 12 regular bov's.
and since jeremy is about to have 18, now that he is gonna have the other 6 in the back, frankly i dont think it can be done.

edit: this might get ugly...

way too many blue cars in this thread...

Oh, there's plenty of bite where that came from. Hopefully more on that soon.. (but maybe not cause we've all heard that before)

I'll be sure to get vids of my car walking into the distance when it's ready (from Chris' car, of course).

:icon38:

oh no he didnt!

LOL sounds good Craig Id love to see it...

BTW-everybody knows Blue Z's are the fastest

edit-btw Craig knows Im just joking I hope nobody else thought I seriously meant that....

moAr oh snap!
