Its OK now mate, I have it fitted and sorted. Now I just have the injectors left to do and a tune. At what PSI did your BOV leak? I thought the stock BOV would be fine. Did you get any compressor surge with the old BOV? Is your Blitz BOV a plumb back and if so do you have any pics of it mounted?

Droping the engine out I feel for ya dude, what a pain in the a** those bolt have turned out to be.

Its always a shame when that happens ahe...

How quick is it? How much horsies???

Does anybody have some pics of a Plumb back installed on a RB25DET??? An aftermarket one I mean...

I have always like those cars mate, there is one just like it going around in canberra...

Arr, That makes sence. I have always wondered how that worked, thanks for clearing it up! As for my BOV, it seems to have loosened up a little. Now it will vent fine for low boost & low rpm but as soon as you get a little more boost (~10psi) & rpm she goes PSSSHHH flutter flutter flutter

Mate, I think you make some good points and arguments. I too get frustrated with the whole car seen at times. Especially when people pigion hole skyline drivers. You know when you are at a party or whatever and the conversion turns to cars as it often does, on average how long do you think it is before a car conversation turns into a drift or 1/4 mile debate eg,: Trev: "Mate, my BOV is sooo tuff, you should see how much faster I can run the 1/4 now mate..." Alex: "Bullsh*t, your BOV sounds sh*t mate. I got a D1 spec drift BOV which sounds way sicker. My ride is sooooo arsy now mate." :lol: I just try to see the funny side of all of this and like others have said let people do what they want, its not like you can stop them and at least its entertaining.

very nice mate!

Yes it does!

Yea, I reakon it was your clutch. Depends on the smell though...

how much oil does a r33 box take?

Yea, it will vent small amount of pressure like 5psi for example. Its when you get higher presure that it start to flutter. The GT30 certainly does flow the 12psi much easier... But at the end of the day 12psi measured at the intake plenum is 12psi no matter what turbo you use.

Thats a good idea, never though about doing it that way. I dont think it will work with head bolts though, those things are in tight as a nuns *****

Oh yea, I'm with this guy! At the end of the day easyouts are the way! but its not an easy way!

Are GTR ones any bigger. This is not a leaking issue, I think the return pipe is not big enough to flow the air out...

Yea, its hooked up but I am not certain that the return is actually blocked. Thats just a theory of mine.

My theory is this: The new turbo has a better bearing cartridge and I know for a fact that it spins way more when you turn the car off, so you would assume that it will spin faster & longer when the clutch is pressed in. So, with a higher turbo rpm with clutch in combined with the fact that the GT30 comp housing is flowing much more air I am getting compressor surge... Its either this, or the guys who made my intake piping blocked the BOV return pipe near the mouth of the turbo What do you guys think?

Hi, Just fitted the GT30 and am running 12psi just as I was with the standard turbo. The problems is now with the GT30 I am getting compressor surge on gear changes. I think the standard BOV is not big enough to vent all the pressure from the GT30, has anyone else had this issue?

Yea, scared the sh*t out of me too

thanks for the replies guys! Peace of mind!

Ha ha ha, I just went through all these issues fitting my gt30 on an rb25det. I also went the low mount and it took me 3 hard days to get the thing setup. I still have to do the injectors and get a tune done, but from the little run I had just then it should pull way harder than the stocker when tuned

Hi, Just put some heat wrap on my dump pipe, the stuff that kinda looks like fiber glass. Anyway after the first drive or so there was some smoke coming from the tape that smells like Ski wax I figure this will go away after a couple of drives but just wanted to check if anyone else has had this problem?
