Should have put some urethane motor mounts while you were in there. Congrats on the boosted Z.

Big props. How much boost?

Got her sitting lower and powder coated strutbar

Hah sorry got my boost envy and another thread confused

10psi

Hey Robert, Is you Z an auto?

No it's a 6 speed.

:( Why the hell no, I am, no manual for the X

[QUOTE=ANMVQ;3006160]:( Why the hell no, I am, no manual for the X[/QUOTe

My bad. I realized after that, that you have the X model. Yeah the only way to buy the coupe for me would be in manual. Im looking at a X in the near future for my daily.

Sell the X and get an 6MT S? :)

Robert any more salivating pics/videos to share? I'm so waiting in anticipation to see more!

SNOW :icon14: And we get lots of it. I had a coupe but was also and X.

none yet. hopefully some more next week. gonna be raining here the next few days. will take some underneath shots when I get it on the lift at work so you can see the turbos installed

yeah I get plenty of snow here too. usually not as much as you guys though. that's why you gotta daily the X and buy a 6speed :driving:

Yea man, In for the vids tho, Really been thinking about doing this also. :/

did you check out the one max posted on facebook of it on the dyno.

no, I will tho can't see that from work

yeah my job does that too. bastards!!!! lol its on aam competitions fb page

^ I saw the video awhile back, that's how I stalked you! The only thing I'm sad about is no traditional BOV on the system. While I understand the benefits and purpose of the CRV, the BOV salute automatically adds +10 cool points to street cred. HAHA

hahaha yeah I hear ya but when shifting between gears you can hear it. not so much when reving at idle :driving:

Looks like the Turbosmart Shortie Kompact Series has a Dual Port BOV (50% Atmospheric and 50% CRV) that is supposed to work with the EFRs. It looks to be taller than the CRV that comes included though so clearance may or may not be an issue. Maybe you can have a look when you get it on the lift? Or maybe Max might be able to give some insight?

Could be an option for those that want a little bit of both worlds.

great BPV I had this on my Stillen SC sounded super!

I wonder if the gfb's BOVs most people use on the GTR's would work with this setup?

quick twist and it can be adjusted for how much recirculation or how much vent to atmosphere can be done whenever you want. ell when stopped since its a manual change lol

Borg Warner actually makes a disabling cover plate that can be installed to seal off the CRV.

Doesn't affect anything but make the blow off louder right?

The disabling cover plate seals the recirculating port and an external BOV would have to be installed. Flanges would need to be welded in for the external BOVs. The CRV is designed to keep the MAF happy and assists in keeping the turbos spooled in between gears. :driving: Does that help?

yes that does,

^ That's why I suggested the 50/50 dual port bov. I think one can get a little bit of both worlds using it. Also seems like it would be a little less of a hassle than putting in the disabling cover and getting flanges welded on.

Jason, do you think there is not enough clearance for the dual port bov - is that why you suggest using the disabling cover?

As you can see there isn't a lot of room to work with. Without having something like the Kompact Shortie on hand to test fit, we really can't tell at this time.

We do know the disabling kit will fit for those looking to go with BOVs. :)

There might be some confusion here. The turbos AAM use have essentially a "built in" blow off valve for better lack of term. In order to run a traditional blow off valve, you would have to first disable/block the pre-existing one on the BW turbos, at which you can cut the intecooler piping, weld a BOV flange on, and mount whatever BOV you want to go with from there.

Sort of like turbos that have internal wastegatee. In order to go external, you first need to disable the internal gate, by some bracket, or welding it shut, then you figure out where to mount your external, mount it, and so forth, you get the idea.

Oh no confusion, per the description the Kompact Shortie I am talking about says:
The main difference is that the Kompact Shortie can be set to 100% CRV or 50% CRV and 50% atmospheric.

I kind of think it won't fit seeing Jason's picture though - the disabling cover and cutting/welding flanges on may be the way to go.

Just to clear a few things up on this as I don't want there to be any confusion.

There is no way that fit, at least i'm 95% sure it would not. As shown in Jason's picture (thanks Jason) space is limited and it would be too long/tall.

If you wanted to utilize a traditional BOV you would need to install the BorgWarner block off plate (previously mentioned) and could then install any BOV of your choice (hopefully something of high quality) in the upper intercooler piping.

Most of what I just said was previously mentioned but I just wanted to make sure there was no confusion on this topic.

I can try to get some audio of the integrated BorgWarner CRV so you can hear what it sounds like. It's definitely noticeable but not to the audible level of a traditional BOV.

Attention G37 Customers:

We are seeking 1-2 additional G37's to participate in the R & D program. I would be able to extend our R & D pricing to the next 2 G37 customers. If anybody is interested please reach out to me (email/PM/whatever).

I beg to differ Max. The build got to hit the pavement for the first time in 6 months last night; I thought at first I was going to hate these integrated BoVs meaning no more "choo choo" noises which is imo the coolest part of being turbo, but to my surprise at as little as 2-4lbs of boost these things are VERY MUCH noticeable and easily comparative to the sound I got from my 50mm turbosmart valves on 12lbs from my GTM kit. I can definitely say I'm not the least bit disappointed by the sound.

I can tell each of you that this kit still retains all of the cool "im turbo" sounds, and I must say, I love it.

Great to hear some additional feedback! Thanks for this.

Also - how was the car doing?

Mine are pretty loud when shifting between gears or letting off the throttle while in boost. Not as loud as a bov though.

Any G37 owners interested?

Hey Max, You know I am just not there yet with the savings :/, That 9k driveway killed me LOL

Let's see a picture of this driveway!!!!
seriously, I need to redo mine and looking for ideas.

oh wait, I just hijacked my own thread...

I had a retaining wall redone with interlock brick and a extra drain put in. HIJACK LOL

Full review for AAM TT System and AAM 3"Exhaust coming shortly. :tup:
