anyone tired to put a BOV on the 1kzte?

[madetdb8]

as per title.
since 1kzte has throttle butterfly, i think i could be fun if you can get that working.
anyone tired it??

Seen a 1kz prado with one on ih8mud and was a factory upgrade trd sorry dont know how it worked

[jakwoo39]

put a boost gauge on it and see if it actually produces vacuum if it does i dont see any reason why it wouldnt

I know a guy that had one on his 3l +t Lux, He done something with an XR200 throttle body to get the back pressure on deceleration

the 1kz could do with one due to the butterfly, but imho getting rid of the butterfly is a cheaper and better option.

no need for a butterfly to get a bov to work. just use the vacuum system and control it electrical with switches on the clutch and throttle. requires a softer spring in the bov. the hardest part is fitting it.
theres a few write ups on the surf forum about it.

Or maybe, you just buy a jap car with a petrol motor and turbo if you fancy that horrid pssst.

There is an electronic BOV for diesels that operates on the TPS (turbosmart I think). I looked at one for shits and gigles a while ago. Decided that for the outlay of $$$ it was going to be a novelty and not really useful in My prado.

Would be easier to just get a bumber sticker that said "Wanker Driving" would achieve the samething for a lot less money !!!
lol lol lol lol lol

They can be useful to prevent compressor surge if running high boost levels as well as decrease spool time between gear shifts.

Not all BOV have to go PSSSH you can vent them back into the air box where they are almost silent... but we all know ya want the PSSSH

Would be big johns lux? That thing was sweet free boosting with truck stacks, i could have a chat see how he did it anyway at some stage
